[LUG] OT: 3G wireless router

 

Hi folks,

I've just seen this on The Register... 
http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2009/03/13/review_networking_solwise_mobile_router/

It's a review for a 3G 'travel' wireless router.  It's a compact little 
unit that has two Ethernet and two USB ports.  The idea is you can 
connect in a broadband connection (presumably from a cable modem, ADSL 
router or hotel Ethernet connection) and also a mobile broadband USB 
dongle and it'll switch between the connections automatically.  Being a 
travel adaptor too it's small enough to chuck in a laptop case and take 
with you.

I could see the benefit of something like this to provide a backup 
connection if your primary connection went down for any reason and at 
£60 it doesn't seem that bad in price.

Rob
