What is 3G?
3G is short for 3rd
Generation Mobile Telecommunications.
It's basically a wireless network used by mobile phones which is
also capable of providing Internet services either on a mobile phone
or with the use of a 3G dongle or modem.
There are various 3G standards in use throughout the world such
as HSPA,
HSUPA, HSDPA, EDGE, GPRS, GSM & UMTS. Frequency wise, most
Aussie 3G services are in the 900MHz or 2100MHz bands but more recently
the 850MHz band was introduced offering better penetration and data
speeds. Telstra/BigPond offer 850MHz connections under their "Ultimate"
plans promising speeds of up to 20mbps. Vodafone and other ISPs
are also starting to offer 850MHz plans. (Most 850MHz capable dongles
and mobile phones will default back to one of the slower 3G services
available when the 850MHz signal is too weak or can't be found).
One thing to
bear in mind if you need to upgrade the antenna on your 3G dongle
to improve reception is that the antenna must be designed for the
MHz range it's to be used for. Normal 2.4GHz antennas found on routers
and other household WiFi equipment aren't suitable.
What is 4G?
4G is short for 4th
Generation Mobile Telecommunications.
At the time of writing it is an emerging technology just starting
to be offered by Telstra/BigPond as an LTE
(Long Term Evolution) service in the 1800MHz frequency band.
The dongle on offer so far is the Sierra
320U. To find routers that support the 320U see "How
do I find a compatible router for 4G" below.
Connecting a dongle to a Home Network
To share your wireless broadband connection with multiple PCs and
other devices you will first need to create a LAN (Local Area Network)
which is simply the name used for bunch of computers and other devices
such as game consoles, WiFi phones, media players and/or printers
all linked together either by cables or wirelessly to share resources
including an Internet connection.
To share the Internet to all of these devices at once, you can
do it with software like Windows
Internet Connection Sharing or a proxy
server with the dongle plugged into a PC that acts as a server.
However, the easiest and most efficient method is to use a router
designed to work with 3G.
Here's an example of a LAN sharing a 3G Internet connection using
a router:

The 3G modem (USB dongle in this case*) plugs into the Router and
the Router then shares the 3G Internet connection with other devices
on the LAN.
Note: The Router in this case has a built-in Wireless Access
Point so we can connect devices to it either wirelessly or with
cables. Not all Routers have wireless capability.
* Other routers are designed to work with card bus (PCMCIA) 3G
modems or they have a built-in 3G modem and only need a SIM.
What is a Router?
Besides having the ability to share an Internet connection and
protect devices on the LAN from Internet hackers, a Router might
have other features and capabilities such as a Wireless Access Point
so other devices on your LAN can connect wirelessly, an ATA (Analogue
Telephone Adapter) for VoIP so you can make and receive VoIP calls*
over your 3G Internet connection, and VPN endpoints for remote connections
into other LANs such as your office when working from home.
* Note about VoIP capability. Some of the products mentioned in
the list below have built-in ATAs
(look for the word "VoIP" in the product descriptions).
You can of course purchase
a separate ATA later such as the Linksys SPA3102, and WiFi or
IP phones do not need an ATA. If you plan on adding either of these
options later, one feature I do advise you look for is QoS
(quality of service). QoS ensures the VoIP data gets priority so
other downloads that might be occurring at the same time don't interfere
with the call quality.

here for my Router FAQ.
For more information about wireless networking click
here for my Wireless FAQ.
For more information about VoIP click here for
my VoIP FAQ.
Most routers that support 3G modems also accept other types of
broadband modems such as Cable modems, or might even have a built-in
ADSL modem. These capabilities won't be relevant to you if you're
only ever going to have a 3G modem in the foreseeable future but
if you think you might want access to Cable or ADSL one day then
one type of Router might be a better choice for you if there is
more than one type of Router for you to choose from.
USB, PCMCIA or SIM?
An important consideration before choosing a router is to
know the type of 3G modem you have. There are two basic types:
Some Routers such as the D-Link
DIR-451 can accept both types but most will only support
one so read the manufacturer's spec sheets carefully.
For dongles, be sure to check manufacturer's website for compatibility
too. Not all routers support all dongles.
Or you might just have a SIM and want a router with a built-in
3G modem that can take the SIM. Click
here for a list of routers with this capability. (Worth noting
is that you can take the SIM out of a dongle to use with this type
of router).
Special notes regarding the modem choices for
Telstra/BigPond Ultimate and 4G.
 |
This is the standard Telstra/BigPond Ultimate®
USB dongle, otherwise known as the Sierra
312U. It's the one to use with the routers mentioned in
the "How to find a compatible router
for the Sierra 312U" FAQ below. |
 |
This is the Telstra/BigPond 4G capable dongle
also known as the Sierra
320U available as an option even on 3G plans. The good news
is that it will default to a 3G service where no 4G signal exists
(which is good because 4G coverage isn't extensive at this stage
so you'll still be relying on 3G in many areas for the moment).
The bad news is that there are very few routers available in
Australia so far that are compatible with this
one. |
 |
This is the BigPond Ultimate® Wi-Fi product, also known as
the Sierra
753S.
This product is like a 3G modem and wireless router all-in-one
and is not suitable to plug into another router. Its
features are limited, such as the ability to only connect
5 wireless devices (and I'd expect the wireless range to be
rather limited) and security and other features would be the
bare minimum.
It has its own battery which charges via a USB port so it
would be a very cool product for travelling with several PCs
or smart phones in a car or bus etc, or sitting in a park
with a few friends all browsing the web at once, but it's
not a good choice if you want a more
advanced firewall, content
filtering or for adding an ATA
for VoIP and so on. If you're in that category, go for
the 312U instead plugged into one of the routers below.
|
 |
This is the BigPond Elite® Network Gateway, also known as
the Netcomm
3G21WB.
As with the 753S above it's also a 3G modem and wireless router
all-in-one so it isn't suitable to plug into another router
if you need more than its standard features offer. Read the
spec sheet carefully to make sure it does everything you
need before deciding to go for this one. You may find the
312U with one of the routers below will
give you a much better range of features and might even work
out cheaper in many cases too.
|
Note:
One other aspect to consider when choosing whether to go through
Telstra or BigPond is that BigPond lock their SIMs to their hardware
while Telstra don't. This is handy to know if you plan on choosing
a router that takes the Ultimate SIM rather than a dongle. The Telstra
supplied SIM will work in this case but the BigPond one won't.
How do I find a router that will be compatible
with my 3G modem?
Not all routers are compatible with all 3G modems so the first
step is to go through the compatibility lists below to find out
which brands and models are compatible with your modem. From there
use the Find-A-Router tool to find
routers with the features and price range you need and hopefully
at least one will match a brand and model that you have found is
compatible with your modem.
To use the Find-A-Router tool,
select the type of 3G modem you have (eg USB) from the pulldown
menu beside the “3G Support” option (4th one down) and any other
feature you’d like, then click “Go” at the bottom. Then you can
click each product that comes up for more info. (You’ll also find
another link to the manufacturer’s modem compatibility list in the
comments sections so you don't have to come back here to recheck).
Alternatively see the last FAQ at the bottom
of the page for a list of all routers that support 3G or scroll
down below if you have a Sierra 312U aka Telstra/BigPond "Ultimate"
dongle.
Here’s a quick list of links to the main manufacturer 3G modem
compatibility lists:
Billion
Cisco
SRP Series
D-Link
DIR-412
D-Link
DIR-451
Draytek
(see also international
site here for routers not listed on the Aussie compatibility
list)
EnGenius
ESR-6650

Netgear
DGN2200M
Netgear
MBR624GU
Netgear
MBRN3000
TP-Link
TL-MR3420 / TL-MR3220 or see international site here.
If you get stuck please email
me* and I'll help you out. I'll need to know the brand and
model of your dongle and any other features you'd like such as
11G or 11N wireless
or VoIP.
* Please use email rather than phoning me as I'll need to research
it for you and that can take a little time.
Can't find a compatible router? Another option to consider
is that you can take the SIM out of a dongle and insert it into
special routers that have been designed to take a SIM rather than
a dongle. To check these routers out click
here.
Are there any disadvantages in SIM routers? Well, they're usually
a little more expensive and not as rich in features compared to
other routers that can take a dongle but other than that they're
fine. In some cases such as the Netcomm 3G19W
and 3G29WN, the antennas
for the 3G side of things are huge so you may even see an improvement
in your 3G signal strength. Another advantage is that compatibility
issues with SIMs are extemely rare (I've only ever seen one first
hand). However, an exception to this is locked SIMs such as those
supplied by BigPond as mentioned at the end of the
FAQ above.
How to find a compatible router for
BigPond/Telstra Ultimate.
First up, you'll need to make sure you have the Sierra 312U dongle
and not one of the other options. (See above
for BigPond/Telstra modem choices).
For a list of all routers that currently support the 312U click
here.
Note: I only put routers on this list if feedback from
manufacturers and owners has been positive. If I hear too many
complaints it comes off the list. The best router on the list
for you is the one within your budget with the features you need.
It may be worth bearing in mind that all products at the time
of writing have a 14.4mbps restriction via the USB port and Telstra
are promising speeds of up to 20mbps on Next G. However, real
world experience is rarely anything like 20mbps anyway (see Google)
so this should be of little concern. One connection I got to play
with only had one or two bars of signal strength and I never saw
better than 4 mbps.
Some additional notes worth bearing in mind:
Billion: I get occasional reports
of problems with the 6200NXL
but these usually turn out to be related to signal strength per
below. Also worth bearing in mind is that it is the cheapest
and therefore the most popular 3G capable Billion choice so the
odd complaint is bound to happen. No real complaints to speak
of in the 7402X/7404X series.
Also check out the 6200WZLR2
which can accept the SIM from the 312U and is compatible with
850MHz (the 6200WZLR2 supports UMTS (HSPA): 800, 850, 900, 1900,
2100 MHz, and AWS(1700/2100 MHz)).
Bear
in mind that locked SIMs such as those supplied by BigPond (as
mentioned at the end of the FAQ above)
will usually not work in any other product other than the one
they came with.
Cisco: No real complaints.
D-Link: Not officially supported
but some people are reporting success using a particular
procedure. See the comments in the
review for more info.
Draytek: Generally very positive
feedback on all compatible models. Draytek recommend installing
the latest firmware for all routers and Sierra firmware version
N2_0_8_5ap available here
on the 312U if you experience any problems.
Netcomm: Mixed reports with Netcomm
routers. Most people find them fine but they do seem to attract
a few complaints as well but I suspect in most of these cases
one of the factors below in the troubleshooting
section is to blame.
Also check out the 3G19W
and 3G29WN which can accept
the SIM from the 312U and is compatible 850MHz (compatibility
is listed for 850/900/1900/2100 MHz SIMs).
Bear
in mind that locked SIMs such as those supplied by BigPond (as
mentioned at the end of the FAQ above)
will usually not work in any other product other than the one
they came with.
TP-Link: A new kid on the
block and amazingly cheap but no complaints so far.
Update: TP-Link have removed the 312U from their
compatibility list for some reason so I'd avoid them for use
with Ultimate for the time being. (I do know people have been
successful with this combination in the past but perhaps something
has changed...)
How to find a compatible router for
the Sierra 320U (BigPond/Telstra 4G) modem.
4G is very new technology and routers available in Australia
that list support for 4G dongles or SIMs are only just beginning
to hit the market. The dongle (from Telstra/BigPond) at this stage
will be the Sierra
320U so if you're looking for a router, click
here to compare all routers I'm aware of so far that work
with the 320U. It may also be worth checking the compatibility
lists above to see if the 320U has
appeared for other products I may not yet know about. (Please
let me know if you find any so I can update my list).
DrayTek
now have firmware to support the 320U on the 2110, 2710, 2820,
2830, 2920 & 3200 series. (Some may not be publicly available
for download yet and you may need to contact Draytek directly
to get hold of them).
Billion just announced new firmware for most of the 7404X/7402X
Series that will work with the 320U.
Most other manufacturers I have spoken to think that it will
be added as a firmware update to many of the current products
eventually as 4G becomes more widespread and demand increases.
Bear in mind though that Telstra
are talking download speeds of up to 40 mbps and all of the
current routers I'm aware of only support USB2 which is only rated
to 14.4 mbps. The router manufacturers are sceptical at this stage
that many people in the real world will actually see speeds even
close to that anyway but I'm hoping we see some USB3 rated products
appear on the market soon, or a basic NAT router that can take
a 4G/1800MHz SIM with bridge &
half-bridge modes and an ethernet port so it can be plugged
into any router with an Ethernet WAN port. This would also come
in handy for people who want a multi-WAN router for 3G/4G for
load sharing or failover between two or more 3G/4G connections,
which is something that doesn't currently exist (AFAIK).
(Update: I have spoken to some manufacturers about this concept
and most like the idea but doubt it could be produced at a marketable
price at this stage).
There are some reports of successful connections with some other
routers in this
thread on Whirlpool but the reports are inconsistent and the
manufacturers of these routers still don't officially list support
for the 320U so I recommend caution and some healthy skepticism
before forking over money for any of these products, but if you
already own one of these routers it's certainly worth giving it
a try.
A workaround (while we're all waiting for compatible routers)
can be to use a PC for Internet Sharing and whatever wireless
router you have laying around now to provide the wireless network
as I describe here.
Troubleshooting Problems with Routers
and Dongles.
The most common causes of dropouts or connection problems with
routers and dongles will usually turn out to be one of the following:
1. Signal Strength. If the 3G signal is too low or
fluctuates you're going to have problems and may need to talk
to your ISP to see if you have any options to improve things.
In some cases the router's "keep alive" feature can
cause dropouts (or hanging where the router thinks it's still
connected but it isn't) and turning this off can help. Billion
have a workaround available to turn the "keep alive"
function off via the command line interface (CLI). However,
if you're not having problems it's better to leave this feature
on.
Note: Plugging a dongle into a Router will not
improve your 3G signal strength. (If anything it may be slightly
worse). All the Router does is allow you to share the 3G connection
to multiple devices (either with cables and/or wirelessly).
To boost your 3G signal strength you'll need to discuss your
options with your ISP and/or Google "3G antenna" or
"<your dongle model No>" + "antenna"
to find retailers who can supply external antennas to suit your
modem. Unfortunately I can only get hold of 2.4GHz antennas
which can improve the signal strength between the router and
your PCs but they aren't suitable for the 3G side of things.
2. If you're using a Sierra
312U, different 312U firmware versions may behave badly
with some routers. Installing firmware version N2_0_8_5ap available
here
often gets things going properly. (The latest Telstra/Sierra
312U version is available here
and may be worth trying as well but results may vary. Most router
manufacturers report the N2_0_8_5ap is the one to go for).
3. Installing a powered USB hub in between the
dongle and the router often helps things substantially if you're
having stability issues that don't appear to be related to a
low signal.
Note: I hear of the odd anomaly with pretty much all
routers with some dongles (in particular the Sierra 312U) and
I have a strong suspicion that there's some manufacturing variations
or some situations where the dongle draws more power which is
beyond the capabilities of the router but not noticeable when
plugged into a PC. The hub idea should sort this problem out
in most cases. If you fall into this category and have a win
with a hub please leave a comment to that effect under your
router in the Find-A-Router Tool.
(Punch your router's name into the
Open Search box to find it quickly)
4. Incorrect login details. Another problem has been
getting the APN and other details wrong when configuring the
router. If you're a BigPond or Telstra customer, the following
APN and settings will apply depending on whether your modem
was purchased from Telstra or BigPond.
| ISP |
APN |
Username |
Password |
| Telstra |
telstra.internet |
No
|
No
|
| BigPond |
telstra.bigpond |
Yes
|
Yes
|
Most other ISPs' APN settings can be found in the compatibility
lists above or contact your ISP.
5. Expecting the old connection software to still work.
Most dongles come with software and drivers that you install
on a PC. Many people think they still need to use this software
when the dongle is plugged into a router and assume that the
router isn't working because the software isn't showing a connection.
This is incorrect. The router takes over the job that the connection
software was doing so the software on the PC is no longer valid.
The router's status page is the place to look now to see if
you have a valid connection.
3G router table
Below is a list of all current routers that support 3G
modems* taken from my Router Review
database with a quick summary of the main features in the
description column. Click the product name for more information
about each product or use the Find-A-Router
tool to refine the search. For example you might only be interested
in routers that have 802.11n wireless capability that will support
a USB 3G modem.
* Note: compatibility problems
with 3G modems are frequent so it is vital to check the router
manufacturer's modem compatibility list (usually linked in the
comments section you will see when you click each product below
for more information) or consult the manufacturer prior to purchasing.
If you cannot get absolute confirmation that your modem is compatible
with the router, don't buy it!
