DIR450 with a kpc650- Upgrade to USB?

Hi, this is my first post. I like the site and it looks active.

I have a dir450 router with a kpc650 verizon evdo card. I want to upgrade to a rev A setup. Can I use the usb port on the router to connect a usb evdo modem? Or should I just get a pc5750 card?

I like the idea of a usb device so it will work with whatever computer I happen to have in front of me. Realistically I rarely take the card out of the router, and my laptop has a pcmcia slot so I'm ok if I want to go mobile.

If anyone knows the answer I would appreciate it, I haven't been able to find the info online anywhere.

Thank you,

John D

Thanks for the reply!

I found some of that after I posted and was bummed to see that there weren't more usb devices supported. I think I'll go with the 5750 as it's in stock at the local verizon store and I know the firmware for the router has been upgraded. I'm excited about the increased speed!
