Edimax 3G Broadband Router

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.

    WHY THE MOST STUPID WORTHLESS SUN BROADBAND 3G STILL THE ONE I’M USING!? BECAUSE THE COMPANY WANTS TO BE PAID AFTER ALL THE IRRESPONSIBLE SERVICE THEY HAD THEY WILL OBLIGED YOU TO PAY A TERMINATION PAY! IS THIS FAIR?!

    Sabi nga nung isa, mas maganda dala mo yung usb modem stick mo to try before buying. Edimax is a good and cheap brand, I’ve bought 2 devices from them, sadly, I can’t run my office weroam usb on it, probably setting issues. Sa pinas ka na bumili.

    3: and the APN will apear.
    4: please write down your APN apears on your portal, because you need it in you 3G router configuration procedures.

    Rene anong model po ang ginamit ninyong sun broadband usb modem?

    For those wondering, the Netgear 3g Router MBR624GU product works fine with the Sun Broadband 3g service offered in the Philippines. Make sure you add all the updated firmwares. Since the item I purchased was from North America a power inverter was needed for the Phils or you risk blowing it’s power adapter. Unfortunately you cannot cross-flash firmwares from North America & Other(World Wide). I ended up using the North American firmwares and it worked okay. For Sun Broadband make sure you configure the 3g APN portion to: fbband

    hi jbitpc! Where can I download the firmware to support the E1552? What is the firware version #?

    • Avatar for Charles Charles says:

      First firmware upgrade ko un, matagal na, 2.05 pa yta, now on my second upgrade, it’s 2.09 on the edimax website.

    @ edward: I have an ipod touch too and the edimax 3G6200-WG is good enough for my room. I connected it with my Huawei E-1552 USB from Sun and it works nicely. I have upgraded the firmware to support my huawei device. Signal is okay over the 30sq mtr place where I stay. Maybe if you strategically locate it, it may cover a bigger area. Else, use a stronger receiving antenna.
    @ Otie: I am still unable to use my Pldt weroam with my edimax router. I have tried downgrading the firmware but alas, that’s not the solution. Maybe the weroam given by the office is password protected and uses a different apn.
