I must admit, as I looked over the recent press release for the D-Link Wireless 3G Mobile Router, I felt like they were on the right track. Assuming everything is spot on, I might even look into something like this once I am ready to take that next step. Well, maybe…
D-Link, the end to end networking solutions provider for consumers and business, today announced that the D-Link Wireless 3G Mobile Router will be added to its line of award-winning customer premise products. The D-Link Wireless 3G Mobile Router (DI-725) will offer subscribers of wireless carriers the ability to share 3G wireless broadband access at speeds up to 2.4 Mbps with Ethernet and 802.11g connected stations from anywhere a compatible 3G mobile signal is available. The D-Link Wireless 3G Mobile Router will offer both consumers and small business a way to provide wireless wide area networking (WAN) for local Ethernet and 802.11g Wi-Fi networks.
The D-Link Wireless 3G Mobile Router will come equipped with a built in Cardbus slot for the insertion of a 3G wireless notebook adapter interface for EVDO, UMTS, Flash-OFDM and HSDPA networks. The router will also feature two USB 2.0 ports, one for providing wireless broadband access when used in conjunction with a USB enabled 3G mobile cell phone and another port for optional print server functionality. The D-Link DI-725 Wireless 3G Mobile Router will include a built-in 10/100 Mbps switch to connect up to four Ethernet-enabled networking devices as well as an integrated 802.11g access point for wireless LAN support.

I went thru 3 of these Dlink mobile routers. Each one I purchased and tried to set up with no luck. In total, I probably spent 3 hours on the phone with Dlink technical support. The support people were nice and helpful, but the bottom line was we could not get the routers working. Every time I ended with the tech support person recommending that I return the router and get another. After 3, I gave up. I need one of these routers and love the idea, but my opinion is that this router is too much in its infancy. Maybe in a few months the bugs will be worked out, and I will buy another. For reference, I am not an IT guy, but I install regular routers and switches regularly with no problem.
