UM150 to ethernet?

I've decided to dump my AT&T home phone & DSL service because I never use the landline and I have an UM150 through Verizon (which is billed to my office).

The Cradlepoint routers sound like a good solution, but I already have a pair of Linksys routers -- one of them in bridge mode in my entertainment center, which connects my satellite receiver, Xbox360 and PS3 to the broadband connection -- so I don't really need another wireless router. Even if I bought the Cradlepoint, I'd still need to connect it to the main Linksys router, which is connected to a network printer and a desktop computer.

Is there anything that would provide just ethernet output from the UM150?

Sorry but you can either buy a EVDO router such as the Cradlepoint or just use a computer your not using alot to plug your UM150 into and send the internet out to your NIC Card. From there you can plug in your old router which will then bridge to your other router. If you do go the Cradlepoint way there is a internet port on there to plug your other router into. Very Happy

I just hooked up my um150 into the cradlepoint then went into a networking switch. It's the easiest way to go if you ask me. Sometimes you can have problems if you go from one router to a second. Especially if you are just going to use the second one as a switch anyway.

Also there are no drivers or configuration to do with a switch it's just plug and play. you just go from the cradle point into the switch and that will branch out and connect everything on your network like computers, printers, xbox360 what ever you want.

Also switches are cheap around $19-$30
