Hey Everyone
Wondering If Anyone Can Help With With A Problem We Are Trying To Solve... The Problem Is No High Speed Internet Service At The House... With Dsl Or Cable.... So My Next Thought Was A Sprint Wireless Card Or Useing The Phone As A Modem... But Can You Run Those Devices Threw A Router To Get Internet On The Ps3 Or Xbox 360 To Play Online... Any Help Would Be Great Thanks

or if you get the USB evdo modem, you can share its connecting using windows Internet connection sharing to a router (by plugging your routers wan port into your desktops ethernet port) and in turn share that connection over wireless or cabled connection from the router, i used to do that with my old dsl modem it was one of thoes stupid auto programing non PPPoE modems that you cant easially share over a router

I just sold an aircard to a guy who was going to use the Linksys router, the guy was pretty excited that it would make his business more mobile.

You can find the Linksys and/or D-Link/Kyocera Mobile Broadband routers online.
I have this one: Linksys WRT54G3G (http://www.amazon.com/Linksys-Sprint-Mobile-Broadband-WRT54G3G/dp/B000IZWYXI)
I've used this one: Kyocera KR1 (http://www.amazon.com/Kyocera-KR1-Mobile-Router-Wireless/dp/B000IOYW5W)
Both have their advantages and disadvantages.. I'm almost willing to trade my Linksys for the Kyocera (if they have the firmware to support my card, just for the DC adapter that it comes with).

I think the OP is asking about Wireless broadband (i.e. Cell Data card), instead of home routers.
