Mobile broadband subscribers who want to share their Internet access can plug their broadband USB dongle into the Prolink 3-in-1 router which also serves as a NAT router and 802.11 b/g WiFi access point. The PWH 2001 works for both ADSL and cable and is EVDO and 4G compatible.

Sharing mobile broadband is a great idea, in theory at least, as one can take the broadband connection anywhere.

However, current mobile broadband speeds are not really that great compared to wired connections and are also patchy, depending on the
location.

More ISP is rolling out HSPA+ service which, again in theory, can reach speeds of 21 Mbps versus the current maximum of 7.2 Mbps for HSPA connections. If this works out, more people may switch to mobile broadband and use the PWH2001 router to spread cheer around.
