Those who were interested in the Smart Bro Share It Wireless Router but want to use any mobile 3G provider may want to look into this 3G router by D-Link, the DIR451.
This has been available locally for some time now and has been listed at Villman for a while. It’s basically a wifi router that also acts as a 3G modem (similar to the SmartBro Share It).
D-Link DIR-451 3G Mobile Router
UMTS/HSDPA
WiFi 802.11 b/g
WEP, WPA, and WPA2 security
Dual active firewalls (SPI and NAT)
4-port 10/100 LAN
The retail price though is a but higher, at Php8,988, but that’s what you pay for an unlocked 3G router and the 24-month service contract.

Abe, doesn’t this just work with PCMCIA cards? Meaning the USB variety wont work?
if it was a sim-slot router why not, but you need to connect a pcmcia 3g card… no way for the price
i don’t think this is an alternative at all to the smart one.

8,000+ price for a 3G router is just too much for personal use but if you want to start a 3G routing business then it would be a good investment.
hmmm, that’s look like my router… oh wait, DIR-300 pala ung sakin, no 3G for me
mas ok pa yung linksys compare sa dlink.
Ouch at the price. I think I’ll stick to good ol’ JoikuSpot.
Baka ito pwede din?

eto mas ok dovado router, mas mganda sa linksys and D-link…http://www.dovado.com
wouldnt it be cheaper if you just buy a 2nd hand nokia series 60 phone with wifi(N95, e51,etc.) and use joiku spot program to act as a wifi router. This setup is better in cars and vans while in a road trip.
http://www.dovado.com- i checked this one out…Do you still need a laptop just to power this one? Is the setup for this is laptop + usb dovado modem= shared internet? Is it better than Nokia wifi phone + joiku spot program= standalone shared internet?
This product is very expensive, very. You need to purchase a 3g modem for this, according to the docs.
If this had a built in modem, I’d consider it OK. But it doesn’t come with one built in.
ask ko lang if pde rin ba sa prepaid yan na SUN or sa mga post paid lang???? eh sa operating system working kaya sya sa vista (atheros lan) at sa windows 7
What a relief to discover a page that may be ultimately really worth reading! I’ve been seeking all-around about this topic but men and women just put rubbish posts, or brief meaningless posts. I have seen a couple vids on youtube but it’s now the same as reading a good post. Great job!
