Does using a evdo router slow down speeds

When you use an evdo router does it split your connection when multiple users are on it or is it like other internets where you still get full speed?

when it comes to 3G routers, the router's firmware/software must support the 3G/EVDO device you are using with the router, or you may see slower speeds through the router. heck, unsupported devices may not work at all!

however, for supported devices, routers do not slow down a connection.

now, understand that the more people you have on a router, the slower a connection may SEEM. it would depend on what activities each user has going on.

FYI, we maintain a Compatibility Chart of what EVDO devices work with routers we sell.
