I think you will NOT get any Wireless Facility in L-1

well i have some questions.
can i install the wireless card "R52" on a PC with MT OS, will this card used as access point inside the house or it's not made for this purpose?
what is the best router board for home use, where i might have my gateway by HSPDA card "3g card" and one interface for access point and another ethernet interface for WAN in case i will be using ADSL?
the 3g card is PCMCI card, will it be installed directly on the router board or i need an adapter for it?

sorry for a lot of questions, answers will be very appreciated. Thanks in advance

Yes, you can install a R52, but you need a mini pci to pci adapter. Like this one. http://www.titanwirelessonline.com/Prod ... Code=RB-11
But you would need atleast a level 4 for this (use it as a AP)
Also, make sure you get some sort of antenna or the wireless isn't going to reach very far.

If the 3G card is pcmcia card then you are out of luck i think. You would need to get a pcmcia to pci adapter. And I don't even know if that would work.

This is assuming that you are taking the x86 route, I'm not aware of any RouterBoard with a pcmcia slot.

If you can get ADSL I suggest you do. Chances are Its going to have better latency and bandwidth.

thanks NickOlsen
well i have used a pcmcia to pci adapter in a PC with MT OS with this 3g card and it was working. do do u think if it's working with PC, then it will be compatible with routerboards?

well routerboards dont have pci slots.
so no.
