CradlePoint CTR350 Mobile Broadband Travel Router (3G Ready, WiPipe Powered) CradlePoint CTR350 Mobile Broadband Travel Router (3G Ready, WiPipe Powered)

Pros: Well supported, small, has amazing features. I just used it for the basic task of sharing out my Verizon USB760 aircard. It was amazing - here we are in a rustic cabin, with all the WiFi internet connection joys of home. Very nice.

The web interface is nice and the feature set and configurability are amazing.

Cons: Has to be plugged in? It's hard to really call that a ding though.

Other Thoughts: Would be nice if there was more choices for an external battery pack. Sometimes you just want to run it for a short time without finding a plug.

Pros: Easy to install. Worked right out of the box!! I have it hooked up a router and it works flawlessly!!!

Cons: None

Pros: It worked as it should right out of the box, but I was wanting to use it with another router to have internet to two computers. I emailed support and the next day I got a very good answer on how to configure the CTR-350 to do this. Unfortunatly the Trendnet router I could not get to work with it, nor could I get any support from them.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Bought from Newegg, great service as always.

Pros: None. It worked for a month

Cons: Customer Support is useless. I registered the product. 3 weeks later it died. I placed a support ticket and never heard back from them.

Other Thoughts: I can't believe i had to give it 1 star to put this rating in.
I should have upgraded to the MiFi instead of adding another piece of equipment.

Pros: Easy to use and works for me all of the time. I use this at home because I don't just have one thing that needs internet. This runs my xbox 360, my pc, and my laptop.

Cons: At first I couldn't get it setup. I was trying to set it up via an Ethernet connection, but it made me set it up wirelessly. Other than that, no problems.

Pros: Works awesome, easy set up and security. on the road I just pull over and as long as you have an inverter for power and a 3g phone you have internet, email and access to all your computer files. I was impressed with the speed, plus it talks to my printer, copier, scan machine wireless that I have in my car. So If I need a document I do not need to run back to the office just turn everything on pull up what I need and hit print.

Cons: None at this time. range is limited to 150' but has not been an issue for me since I often work in my vehicle or hotel rooms.

Other Thoughts: Worth the money

Pros: After an hour of hold time for support, advice given didn't work; thus, I never got this product to work.

Cons: Expect lengthy wait times for minimal support if you experience a problem with setup. Call me crazy, but I don't understand why a new product right out of the box requires updates. Updates which require internet connections - oh wait, I don't have internet, that's why I bought this router.

Pros: It is compact and fits in my laptop carrying case anywhere. For my RV and traveling it is fantastic. I have an MBR 1000 and because of its size it would be hard to travel with. This router has most of the features but a much, much smaller footprint. It utilizes my U97 compass USB air card without any probllems. Cradlepoint products have been very good to me.

Cons: Only one con, it is a "G" router so the transfer speed is only 54 Mbps.

Other Thoughts: I purchased the Cradlepoint MBR 1000 from NewEgg and there was a special promo with a coupon to mail in for the CTR350 for free. Six weeks later I recieved this router via express mail to my doorstep. What a fantastic bargain!!!

Pros: It's a mobile broadband router, so that is a pro. It is cheaper than most of the ones I looked at and it had good reviews. Not hard to figure out how it works. Works with Win7

Cons: I didn't have a wireless adapter on my desktop, so I tried to set it up through an Ethernet cable, but that didn't work. Luckily I had an adapter, but just hadn't installed it yet.

Other Thoughts: I bought this because I was tired of using my computer as an ICS connection with xbox live. I just connected my UMW190 into it, updated the firmware and away I went. It is well worth the $100.00

Pros: It does the basics very well, and has some nice touches: the Ethernet can be configured as LAN, for sharing via an Cat5 cable, or as WAN for use as a failover device for a broadband landline; remote admin; stateful, feature-rich firewall; DynDNS; OpenDNS content filtering (e.g. adult sites). Connected to my Sprint U760 without a hitch, and LAN sharing works a treat.

Cons: Zero documentation, other built-in help, and equally weak tech support. Their tech's answer when I asked if the Ethernet port could be used on a LAN: "All routers are pretty much the same. You'll figure it out." Also, no battery for a "travel" device. What's travel-enabled about it? With a battery I could put my iPod touch online anywhere. Advertised HTTPS and SNMP remote admin are missing in action. HTTP remote admin works, but we all know how stupid that would be to use. And no pouch! Travel, schmavel.

Other Thoughts: I gave it four stars because it does the basics very well, and even though the vendor couldn't verify, it works as a LAN gateway too (which I need for my application). But some annoying loose ends: no docs at the web site or in the box, apathetic support staff, and remote admin is not safe. I was counting on the advertised SNMP feature (it's right on the box for crying out loud) to let me remotely track bandwidth usage and traffic limits, to avoid a huge bill. But SNMP is MIA and Cradlepoint tech support is clueless.
