3G Router Guide

Our 3G Router comparison lists various connectivity options for your 3G Broadband connection. Most 3G providers will ship a USB modem or 3G card with your tariff, but in some cases you may want to buy a separate 3G WiFi Router to share your 3G connection through a local WiFi access point. You will need to purchase a 3G Wireless Router like the Billion BiPAC 7402GXL, or the BiPAC 7300GX, depending on which type of 3G device you have.

The Billion BiPAC 7402GXL is ideal for anyone who wants to share a 3G modem dongle. Plug a compatible dongle in to the built-in USB port and share it via 802.11b/g WiFi, just like standard ADSL broadband WiFi router. The 7402GXL supports most of the modems available from 3 Mobile, T-Mobile and Vodafone. Please check our full compatibility list to see if your 3G modem is listed before buying, or visit the 3G router product pages for an exact list of supported devices.

To view a complete list of 3G modems, please look at our 3G USB modem guide.

The good news is our Mobile Broadband routers are not locked to a specific network, so you can change your 3G provider in the future safe in the knowledge that your investment in hardware has not been wasted.

Our 3G Router comparison has three sections below covering 3G routers for home users, SME business users and HSDPA 3G Routers designed for industrial applications. We have listed some 3G tariffs on the bottom of the 3G router product pages, to help you make a tariff choice if you don't already own a modem.

3G Failover

If you are looking for an ADSL router with 3G backup link (sometimes called an ADSL 3G failover router), please look at our guide on the Dual WAN page, where you will find all the information you will need to setup a fault tolerant diverse path Internet connection.

3G Applications & Projects

3G wireless can provide a solution where traditional broadband is not an option. If your office is too far from your local exchange, or you have been quoted a ridiculous amount of money to have a telephone line installed - 3G may be just the solution you are looking for.

If you are constantly fighting Red tape and IT Managers asking what your equipment does and why it has to be installed on 'their' network - 3G provides a means of accessing your equipment using a completely 'stand-alone' system, with no need for a connection on their corporate network. This can make project planning and sign-off a much simpler and more cost effective task.

You may be surprised at some of the applications for 3G wireless technology. If you have a project and are unsure if 3G will provide a reliable solution, please don't hesitate to contact us for practical, honest advice. We can help design 3G solutions using a combination of customised Airtime contracts, static IP's and a wide range of 3G hardware at our disposal, including a range of GSM Antenna.

3G - The Cost Effective Solution

Many people have preconceptions that 3G solutions are more costly than their ADSL broadband counterparts. In many cases this is simply not true. For example - you want to remotely manage some equipment at an unmanned site. The equipment (which could be a computer, PLC, digital sign, Bluetooth Server etc etc) is simply plugged in to a 3G router with appropriate port forwarding configured. Here are some of the advantages a 3G solution provide:

No telephone line required for installation - no need to liaise with engineers for the telephone line installation
Quicker lead time of 4 to 5 days compared to telephone line and ADSL installation of approx 10 days
3G solutions are mobile and easily re-deployed if you need to monitor equipment for short periods of time
3G tariffs start from just £4.70 per month with a static IP (a large 3GB tariff costs only £20 per month)
A telephone line plus ADSL subscription with static IP will cost approx £33 per month
