Reviews for Linksys Wireless-G Router for Sprint Mobile Broadband

Excellent solution for a mobile broadband card...

Strengths: Works with both a mobile broadband card and regular wired cable/ dsl.

Weakness: Expensive

This is an excellent router for anyone wanting to broadcast their mobile broadband card in a wireless-G or wired environment. It is extremely fast and works pretty much like any other router on the market.

The broadband card simply slides in on one of the sides and once you install the included drivers, you're good to go!

After rebooting, the card automatically connects and the router goes live, assuming you've activated your broadband card first.

I've had no issues with this router whatsoever.

I'm very satisfied with purchase, although it wasn't cheap.

GREAT PRODUCT!!

Strengths: Awesome range and very versatile!

Weakness: Most definately the price!

This router is the best investment I've made yet! I am relocating to an area where there is NO broadband access (cable, DSL, etc.) other than EVDO and this little router has solved my entire home networking needs! I would definitely recommend this product to anyone! I use the router with the V PC5750 AirCard and have not experienced any issues! The ease of setup, size, range, all are GREAT! Granted the price is the ONLY drawback but it was worth it!

Works like a Charm!

Strengths: Setup wizard is simple and straightforward.

Weakness: Requires firmware upgrade to work properly with Sierra Wireless 595 aircard.

Initially I couldn't get past step 5 of the installation wizard. Once I installed the firmware upgrade from Sprint's website, I had no problems completing the installation. There are currently 2 computers hardwired to it and a laptop, PSP and Nintendo DS in the house using the 802.11g signal. They all get great throughput - even when they are on the network simultaneously. I highly recommend this product.

Great- just hooked up with a Verizon 5750 card.

Strengths: Everything

Weakness: Price

I do not have DSL or other broadband options.
Hooked a external antenna up to the Verizon Card and get Rev A conectivity.
Only drawback is the price.
Had is up and running in less than 5 min.

The Linksys Wireless-G Router for Mobile Broadband is really three devices in one box. First, there's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect both Wireless-G (802.11g at 54Mbps) and Wireless-B (802.11b at 11Mbps) devices to the network. Second, it's a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together. Connect four PCs directly or attach more hubs and switches to create as big a network as you need. Thirdly, the Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a Mobile Broadband Internet connection. You can also use a standard Ethernet attached Internet connection, like a cable or DSL modem, if available.Once your computers are connected to the Router and the Internet, they can communicate with each other too, sharing document files, a printer, storage space, and other resources.To protect your data and privacy, the Wireless-G Router for Mobile Broadband can encode all wireless LAN transmissions securely with WEP or WPA Personal encryption. The Router can serve as a DHCP Server, has a powerful SPI firewall to protect your PCs against intruders and most known Internet attacks, and supports VPN pass-through. Configuration is a snap with the web-based configuration utility.With the Wireless-G Router for Mobile Broadband, you can create a secure wireless network with Internet connectivity, anywhere that Mobile Broadband Internet service is available.

Good but pricey

Strengths: Wait till you use it

Weakness: Price

Excellent router though price was the downside. The broadband card simply slides in on one of the sides and once you install the included drivers, you're good to go!
