Here’s another 3G broadband router sent in for review — the Edimax 802.11b/g 3G Router. It’s like your regular DSL router with additional USB ports to hook in a 3G modem and also acts as a Printer server.
If you have a regular DSL at home hooked up to a wireless router, you can use your SmartBro, Globe Visibility or Sun Wireless Broadband as alternative source of internet connection when the DSL goes down.
Not sure how much this one costs but it’s being sold at eBay.ph for Php3,900.
I’ll bring this on the road and set it up inside the car so we’ll see how it fares.
where is it available? 4k estimated price only?
I want to buy one.
hm…this is pretty cool! now I am having second thoughts if I should get me a Sun Broadband + this router over getting a Smart Bro connection (which from what I read over the net pretty much sucks).
I heard Sun’s speed is pretty fast and stable when you are still inside the Metro. Does this hold true to anyone? Any average speeds perhaps?
great review again sir yuga… hope this one will work fine so that our visibility can be share throughout our place or even in the car…
OT: anyway please visit also my deo’s web blog, Thanks!
3G only sa ok din sa 3.5G mas ok to http://bit.ly/1alCMz
nakabili na ko nito last saturday 3,900 gamit ko sa sun sulit na sulit !!!!!!
3G lang yung tawag na term 3.5 G speed works
Pwede rin ba itong gamitin as NAS? Kasi may USB port sa likod and pwede syang print server.
You can also connect a printer to that router Abe! to acts as a print server allowing all users to share the printer through the network.

@Deo No offense, but how is this a review?
@Yuga looking forward to the review.

@yeah. San available 3G router?
This sounds interesting a few questions though:
1. Who handles the warranty ?
2. Anybody tried it with Smart WeRoam already ?
3. If the DSL fails does it automatically connect to 3G ?
4. Can you combine the 3G and DSL bandwidth ?
Woe ganda ng looks..USB port for Globe/smart wireless broadband?
The problem is that most times when you are using any of the 3G connections they are really slow only really good when you are out of town or on the road. More then one person using the 3G connection would be super slow.
Cool idea if the 3G was really good here.

hi sir yuga,
hoping to see the reviews very soon!
I tested this out last monday, the thing doesn’t support Huawei E160 modem, so if you have globe tattoo it won’t work, if you have Sun prepaid or Eazy Connect(plan) it won’t work, the menu is easy to use, but it doesn’t match the screen shot on its manual so don’t bother reading the manual for configuration of the 3g/3.5g, the other features such as print server and wireless is pretty easy to setup, one feature that is unique to this one is the fallback connectivity, if you have 3g connection and dsl connection at the same time and the 3g fail it can fallback automatically to the dsl connection, you can buy this for 4k, i found a shop at bf homes selling this thats where i test my sun Huawei E160 modem and found out only the Huawei E220 is supported, even after the firmware update.

@Reel Advice: my office mate has a Sun 3G modem and it is fast. however he told me that torrent traffic is blocked. if this is true then no thanks. not all torrent traffic is illegal.
ciao!
Take it from me. I live in Quezon City, and because of the nature of my work, I need to have connectivity anywhere I go so I bought a globe visibility, a smart bro wireless , and a sun broadband wireless modem. i’d say sun broadband is amazingly fast! even if they claim to have speed of upto 2mbps, I actually get up to 2.7mbps! smart is fairly good, 1mbps on the average, but choosy when it comes to 3G signal (good in Quezon City, but poor in Makati). Globe is the worst actually. Poor signal everywhere! It’s only good you’re in an open space like a Mall or outside the house so when I’m inside my room, I had to use a 3-meter long USB cable so that I could hang the globe visibility modem outside the window in order to get a good signal. Inside a closed room, Globe Visibility/Tatoo really really sucks! So, I suggest, you guys avail Sun Broadband Wireless if you live in Metro Manila, or a Smart Bro if you travel a lot, but don’t EVER buy globe vis/tatoo coz it really really sucks. Take it from someoone who has actually tested all modems for more than 6 months already…
I think I like this better http://tinyurl.com/r4la2g
it has it’s own advantages and disadvantages though.
I like mine small
