Hello,
I used to be pretty good with this stuff, then technology left me behind!
I have a Centennial mobile broadband connection. The card is a Sierra Wireless 885.
I believe what I want to do is fairly simple:
I need a router that I can plug the card into and send, via wireless connection, a shared Internet connection to two laptops, both with wireless cards.
I'm looking at the MBR 1000, but it both costs more than I want to spend, and looks like overkill for my needs.
I'd like to keep the price under $200, preferably around $150 or lower. I know quality costs, but I would think there would be something out there that would be inexpensive simply because I'm not asking it to do a whole lot: I just want it to take a signal from the Centennial/Sierra 885 card and rebroadcast it in standard wireless for pickup by two laptops.
The only reason I'm not creating a p2p between the laptops is that they must be a bit further apart than I can get the wireless to broadcast. Otherwise I'd just make one into a server and share the connection that way.
Any nice, simple, inexpensive, Wi-Fi mobile broadband capable router suggestions for the specs given?
Thank you,
Josh
P.S. This is EDGE protocol on the mobile card. J.S.
