I am interested in the 3g/4g routers is their any one who has these successfully working.

I am looking at the cradlepoint MBR900 and the Aluratek 3g/4g router.
Cradlepoint has support for the Franklin Wireless u6oo modem but is their any special information that must be configured to allow blink On the go Turbo to work? Since these routers are targeted at US mobile Providers.Sprint apparently uses the u600 modems.

Or you all can recommend any router to use

This was something I was also looking into,however I'm looking at the Cradlepoint MBR1000 series. As far as I know these routers are not locked to a particular brand of cards so I see no reason why they should not work. Need to get some info on what type of EVDO cards TSTT use just to cross reference. It real hard to spend big money on them fancy router and it not working. Anybody who have info on Blink-on-the-go routers(e.g. manufacturer) please post. Thanks.

Might as well pony up the money, cause the network will still suffer from congestion depending on where you are living

I think that it's better to use what's available to you here rather than to import something that's uncertain to work...

Yeah Greg agreed. But I dont know where to source those 3g/4g routers locally. If you can direct us somewhere that selling them it would be cool. Is it confirmed that Blink uses the Franklin Wireless u6oo modem?

I think that they use the Franklin Wireless CCU-550 series for their EV-DO service.

I found a blink-on-the-go Instruction manual online and it did mention the Franklin Wireless CCU-550. The Cradlepoint MBR series supports both the CCU-550 and U600 so no biggie there.

I was able to get a reply email form Cradlepoint:

Hello Varoon,



Unfortunately, your device is currently not supported at this time. We are constantly trying to expand our list of supported devices and hopefully in the future we will be able to support your device. With every firmware update we expand this list so please keep an eye out on our website. There have been reports from customers who've been able to get some devices to work on our router that aren't on the supported device list. Even so, we wouldn't be able to support these devices if they are not on our list.



The reason you device is not supported is because of its specific cellular carrier. Let me know if you have any questions

Hello
Well I am disappointed but glad to see you all are expanding your support list.I will keep an eye on the website as this seems to be my only solid option.If I purchase the router however and try to get it to work will I be able to get support in setting it up?
