3G Modem with WNDR 3800

Hi guys!

Does anybody know how can I use 3G modem with WNDR 3800?

As far as I know current official firmware doesn't support such ones:
Do NOT connect computers, USB modems, CD or DVD drives to the router’s USB port.

Any solutions or ideas?

I would be much obliged to you! 

Thank you!

Buy a refurbished Cradlepoint

Buy a refurbished Cradlepoint CTR35 for under $40 it's got cruddy WiFi-G, that the Marketing people like to call Wireless N, but that's not why you get it, it makes a nice $40 USB adapter for a wired network :)

Just plus a cable between the CTR35 and the WNDR3800's wan port, and your good.

P.D.

Thanks for the tip of CTR35. I've found someone for 28 $ aprox.

 

Have a nice day :D

When I wrote that, the WNDR3800 had very minimal support under DD-WRT or OpenWRT.

Now I might suggest looking at installing an alterenate firmware with USB3G/4G support.

But depending on your comfort level, the less then $40 for a referb CTR-35 may be worth it.

I still use my CTR-35, instead of the WNDR3800's USB and a FOSS Firmware distribution, because the CTR-35 provides me a backup connection if I mess-up the WNDR-3800 while playing with alternate firmwares and stuff.

Glad I could help.

PD.

Just bought an WNDR3800. Is there a firmware which support USB3G/4G that I can use without any fuz?

I'm quite a nooby in the subject.
