Thread: Wireless router with Mobile Broadband dongle

Has anyone used a wireless router with a USB based mobile broadband modem, so when at home I can connect he modem to router and have multiple laptops working?

Thanks

Source Yahoo Answers (Could not post the link here)

yes you can, but you have to setup your computer as gateway and you have to bridge your USB adapter and wireless router in the Networks & Printers

So, will the Broadband USB modem be connected to my computer?

I was hoping that there is a wireless router which can take the modem on its USB slot?

Thanks

Thanks essbebe and meetdilip, your responses are very useful.

These solutions are pretty expensive at this point I think! They need to become cheaper!
