Just wanted to let the group know I've been using a CTR 500 now for a few weeks with great success. I'm a former KR-1 user and since I've been using the CTR 500, I've not looked back. Quick positive blurbs I can report to all of you are:

- what feels like a 2x performance increase over the KR-1
- KPC680 Expresscard works great in the onboard Expresscard slot. (If the latch doesn't work, you've not pushed the card in far enough....)
- DHCP works right,
- WiFi works right, whether you are using the onboard ethernet LAN or not.
- I'm feeding the one ethernet LAN port of the CTR 500 to a local switch, providing DHCP and internet access to multiple systems and it's working like a champ.
- Using an iPod Touch via WiFi with my CTR 500, no problems. (I'm using it only in WPA mode....)
- No more power-cycling like the KR-1
- Admin web pages work like a champ!
- Cisco v5 VPN client works w/no mods to the CTR 500
- FINALLY, Skype works reasonably well over my EVDO service. No VoIP voice options worked at all over the KR-1

It's an excellent product. Bought mine from 3Gstore and they filled the order quickly and got it to me next-business day. 3Gstore ROCKS!

Glad to hear that. I'm attempting to sell my CTR350 right now to get a CTR500. I'm also on Alltel with the KPC680.
