Reliable, Ultra-Fast 3G Network
Connecting to the wireless 3G network means that you're connected to the fastest mobile wireless network anywhere, and with the greatest reach. The 3G Mobile Broadband Router lets you tap into this blazing-fast network easily, and it allows multiple users to share a single 3G broadband data plan. Getting connected is as easy as 1,2,3--all you need is the 3G Mobile Broadband Wireless Router, a compatible 3G modem, and a broadband data plan. (A compatible modem and broadband data plan must be purchased separately.) With the 3G Mobile Broadband Router, you can experience downstream speeds of several Mbps (dependent on Service Provider), and with its efficient 10/100 switched LAN ports capable of reaching speeds as high as 200 Mbps, you'll be able to download photos, music, or digital movies quickly and easily in the most remote of places.

Instant WiFi in Remote Locations
The 3G Mobile Broadband Wireless Router essentially gives you WiFi access anywhere in the world where you have a power source and where 3G coverage is offered. This allows you to have a wireless access point for sharing WiFi while camping, traveling, or where DSL/broadband Internet isn't available--and you can do it all using just one broadband 3G data plan subscription.

And the included USB docking station will let you optimize your 3G reception and experience the highest quality signal available. You can also purchase a convenient car power adapter for connectivity in locations without an electrical system.

Easy WiFi Sharing
Sharing your newly created WiFi network with other users is a snap, thanks to NETGEAR's Push 'N' Connect Protected Setup. Connecting multiple users over your secure network will be as easy as pushing a button. The router will also give you full control over each user by controlling access to the network, letting filter content and even limit usage by the time of day.

Powerful Security Features
No longer do you have to worry about the threat of hackers or "unwanted" guests stealing from your network. The 3G Mobile Broadband Router features double firewall protection to eliminate these threats before they become a problem. It also utilizes virtual private network (VPN) technology, which makes it safe to connect to your office or corporate networks, as well as allowing you the ability to host VPN services.

Reduce Energy Consumption
As a NETGEAR Green product, the 3G Mobile Broadband Router uses less power than other routers, thanks to its easy on/off switch that allows you to switch off WiFi and power when it’s not in use. This is a great feature when you must rely on a vehicle battery or generator for your power.

Compatible with Windows, Macintosh, and other operating systems running a TCP/IP network, the 3F Mobile Broadband Wireless Router measures 6.9 x 1.1 x 4.7 inches (WxDxH) and weighs 0.7 pounds. It's backed by a one-year warranty.

What's in the Box
3G Mobile Broadband Wireless Router (MBR624GU), power adapter, Ethernet cable, USB docking station, vertical stand, quick install guide, and warranty/support information card.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, March 11, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: NETGEAR 3G Mobile Broadband Router (Black) (Personal Computers)
This replaces an older Netgear wireless router at my house. The setup was easy and worked the first try. It identified and connected to my Verizon usb727 mobile broadband card without problem. Now all my equipment has internet access.

Note that the included usb cable seems to be required for the broadband card to work. Plugging the card directly into the router powered the card, but the router reported that no usb device was plugged in.

I purchased this for use at a trade show where they were charging $250 for internet connections - it worked out even better than I expected. I was able to run my credit card machine off of it using the physical wired connection, and my laptop off of the wireless connection. No issues with the signal, and setup didn't take long at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Netgear 3G Wireless & Ethernet Router, April 9, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: NETGEAR 3G Mobile Broadband Router (Black) (Personal Computers)
This is a perfect router for those needing wireless capability and hardwire capability from a 3G router. In our case we installed our nTelos Novatel 3G aircard (I'ts the same as the (Sprint MC727)in the Netgear Mobile Broadband Router and bam! We were up and running. This router has tons of features for the cost and is very easy to setup, it took less than 5 minutes. Our entire office now runs on this 3G router, both with wireless for our laptops and hardwired for our desktop units. There are four ports on the back for hardwire capability in addition to the wireless capability!

I highly recommend this router for anyone needing to multiply the use of their 3G aircard!

Just make sure your particular aircard is compatible, but most are!
