D-Link 3G Mobile Router
Users who want to exploit the broadband offered by phone providers can now turn to the 3G Mobile Router, made by D-Link. Owners can insert a 3G laptop adapter into the CardBus slot, and from there access EVDO or UMTS/HSDPA networks, depending on whether they buy the DIR-450 or the 451 variant (due next month). The router can also be used as a conventional 802.11b/g WiFi device by plugging in an Ethernet cable, or even as a non-WiFi router by using the four 10/100 ports. Connections are encrypted with WEP, WPA or WPA2. The EVDO-based DIR-450 is on sale for $230.
