I have a 875 AirCard but would like to use it in a wireless router to set up WiFi in my home. Any suggestions on which routers will work?? I read that the D-link DIR-541 is UMTS/HSDPA compatible, but I can't locate anyone who sells it here in central Texas.

I have the Aircard 860 and I use the Top Global 3G Phoebus router. I use it 5-6 months out of the year when we travel. I connect 2 laptops and 1 desktop with no problems. I get a range of about 100ft after that the wireless starts to fade out. Other than the pyramid desgin I love the router I wish they had designed it like a normal router. I paid 299.00 for it. It also works great with macs.  I will be more thatn happy to answer any other questions you have. Randy

Following is how to set up a wireless router for a wireless aircard. I called Cingular Tech Support on Friday and was told it couldn't be done, so since I've figured it out, thought I would share it with you. My wireless aircard router is a DIR-451 3G MOBILE ROUTER. It specifically says it works with a Sierra Aircard 875, which is what I have. In setting up the router, it requires you to go to a website: 194.168.0.1 to input some information. It asks for things like your WWAN User ID and WWAN password. This is where I was hung up and called Tech Support to get the information, because the user's manual for the router tells you if you don't know this information, to contact your ISP. They didn't know either.
First step is to go to the Sierra Wireless website and download a file called 3G_Watcher_Generic. When you run this program, it will tell you what your WWAN User ID is. On the 194.168.0.1 website, type in the WWAN User ID exactly as it appears, but it is not case-sensitive. Go ahead and change the password while you're the 3G Watcher program so you'll know what it is. Oh, and this was tricky: The APN is isp.cingular. Leave the dial number what it is: *99***1#. My router is working great now!!! I figured it out!!! This is the information you need to set up the wireless router. Terri
