3G Wifi Router[edit]

I would like to know if there is a way you can convert your 3G (from a usb 3G modem) to WiFi for your house? Is there such routers and is it posssible? Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.16.132.219 (talk) 17:10, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lots of routers have USB ports on them for WAN failover to 3G, most Drayteks do this for instance. Nanonic (talk) 17:19, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There are routers that support converting a 3G signal into a WiFi signal — e.g. this one or this one. The magic search terms seem to be "3G router Wifi". --Mr.98 (talk) 17:35, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
