Best 3G WiFi Router & Portable 3G WiFi Modem to Share Internet
Internet and 3G data usage are increasing daily. According to a survey 70% of people have more than one device connected to the internet at a time. If you have a laptop, a phone and tablet you would love to have a mobile hotspot to have internet connected to them all at once. New Android tablets like Google Nexus 10, Micromax Funbook Pro does not feature a SIM card slot to connect to 3G data easily. You would either need to data card and 3G Wi-Fi Router or 3G Wi-Fi Modem to have the internet connection. Portable hotspot provides a reliable mobile solution to this issue and you can share internet connection with your friends or between devices you have. I have searched the internet extensively and found some good portable 3G WiFi modem or 3GWiFi router that can provide you wireless internet sharing on the move. Check out the list below:

I have Dlink DSL-2750U Wifi router. I have been trying to use this router as a 3G router but without success. I have configured this router to work with a ethernet based internet provider and I am able to use this as a wifi router. However I am unhappy with this ethernet based internet provider and I want to move to 3G dongle based internet. But unable to do so. I have given the right APN, username, password in the 3G section of the router configuration, but the wifi adapter still gets a local ip address. I saw the system log where it says USB modem has connected and has switched mode. Can you please help me. These are the log messages I saw:

I am also using MTS MBlaze…
If I use it with 3G router TP-Link, Speed will improve or not ??
I’m using TP-Link TL-MR3220 sice last few months, it is really good. Speed will be almost same.
Hi Plaban,
I bought a Micromax pocket router MMx 400 R after seeing the details from your post, thanks. I tried to use this with airtel sim not 3g it works fine. Pls say how i can connect it with Bsnl normal broad ban connection.
Sorry it’s not possible to use normal BSNL wired broadband connection with it. You need to insert a SIM card to share internet. Check the configuration of Airtel SIM card, there may be some errors.
do tplink tp mr3020 support tata photon plus ac2787
I am already use MTS Mblaze data card, cna i use Wi-Fi 3G Modem with MTS Mblaze, pl tel me?
You can use Wi-Fi 3G Routers with MBlaze not the 3G Modems.
Recently i bought 3020 TP-LINK 3G/4G Router and i hav MBLAZE but i donno to configure..can ya juss direct me how to configure wit MBLAZE … thank u …
Hi Mrithun,
You can configure MTS Mblaze modems from the TP-link settings panel. Enter the IP address of router’s setting page. Then navigate to ‘Quick Setup’ option. There select MTS India.

Try upgrading or downgrading your router’s firmware. Sometimes that may help.
Y sure ll do Plaban !!!
Ip address? what ip address?.which ip addres i will put..?
Thanks for sharing lists, its easy to choose one from the lists.
Hey what about the BSNL wireless modem, that comes with taking a broadband connection, can’t it be used to connect multiple device with its wireless feature. If so give me a link about knowing how to do it.
Thank You
BSNL 3G or BSNL EVDO modem can be used with any 3G Wi-Fi Routers like TP-Link TL-MR3220. You can also use BSNL 3G SIM card in any 3G Wi-Fi Modems like Huawei E355 to share internet connection over Wi-Fi.
Hi Plaban, I have a 3G SIM from Aircel and I would like to use it with my desktop and two other mobile phones. Can you please suggest devices with good range.
Hi Deepak, I think TP-Link 3G routers with dual-antenna will be good for you.
Happy with E355 and HG556a 🙂
CAN I USE RELIANCE 3G DATACARD ON TP LINK TL-MR3020 WIFI MODEM OR SHOULD I USE TP LINK TL-MR3220
Hi, you can check the modem compatibility list before buying the Wi-Fi router http://www.tp-link.com/en/support/3g-comp-list/?model=TL-MR3220
Hi, can I connect my desktop to the 3G wifi router thru an ethernet cable ? My desktop does not have wifi feature but can work only on wired internet connection. While I see input ports, I dont’ see whether there is a USB output port on these routers.
Yes, some 3G WiFi routers like TP-LINK TL-MR3220 and TL-MR3420 has 4 Ethernet ports to connect desktop computers.
Tks. Does this mean these wifi routers can also work as wired routers ? Are these 4 ethernet ports are for input or output ports ?
Yes, these routers have total 5 ports. 1 WAN port for connecting with ADSL/Cable modem and 4 LAN ports for connecting to computers.
Tks. Response is fantastic
TP Link also have launched a portable wifi router TL MR3020. Can this also be connected to my desktop ? I see a ethernet port in this model also, though not sure whether it is a WAN or LAN port
It has only one WAN/LAN port. http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/?model=TL-MR3020#spec
Can I insert the GSM sim directly into TP-Link TL-MR3020 Portable 3G Router? so that I don’t need a separate data card? Is it better than micromax?
No, you have to use external 3G Modem with it. Micromax 400R has internal modem facility so you can directly insert SIM card in it.
i have a best wifi modem and best network and high speed internet with price in hyd at home.please send me
Sir,can I insert BSNL 3G micro sim card in Micomax 400 R or should I buy the BSNL 3G router with pre installed sim.
You can use micro SIM but for that you need to use a micro SIM to the normal SIM adapter.
Sir,can you be a little clear on that.I have a BSNL 3g micro sim in my IPad,but I do not want to carry it with me on tours for the fear of theft.I want to buy a cheaper 10 -12k android wi-fi only tablet and a router & install the BSNL 3G micro sim I already have. Pl.suggest a more compatible router.
You can use any Wi-Fi 3G router. For that you just need one Micro SIM to regular SIM converter like this http://bit.ly/SulJPB.
Please let me knw ….tht it will work with mts 2g data card…………will it work on tp link tl router…..
Yes, it will work with MTS modem. But it’s always better to check the modem compatibility list before buying http://www.tp-link.com/en/support/3g-comp-list/?model=TL-MR3020&location=1151
Hi Mr.Plaban…
I just have a small query. i have recently purchased TL-MR3220 wifi router which u were using from the past few months. I also have an MTS Mblaze cdma data card. Now can i start working with wifi connection on samsung tabs which runs on ANDROID OS V 4.0.
Yes, you can use any Wi-Fi equipped devices. Your Samsung tablet will also work.
hi,
I have desktop, laptop and iphone.
i want internet connection denice which i can use for all three device respectively…
Thanks for the reply Bro.
Actually in the TP LINK company’s website, they have mentioned all other OS but not Android. Of Course Android is a LINUX based OS, but still need a clarification. thanks
Dear Mr. Plaban,
This post is truly useful for us. I wish to buy TP-Link TL-MR3040 ( facility with battery powered) or TP-Link TL-MR3020. Please suggest which one is better & its price in India (Kolkata). Hope it works with normal GSM modem (Airtel/ BSNL/Vodaphone).
Hi, Indranil
You can buy TP-Link TL-MR3040 if you want a portable router otherwise TP-Link TL-MR3020 is good choice. TP-Link TL-MR3020 will cost around Rs 1900 in Kolkata. Most of the GSM and CDMA modems work with it.

Hi Gautam,
What is the model number of your Micromax modem?
Hi Mr. Plaban,
I tried connecting my TP-LINK TL-MR3220 with ZTE MTS BROAD BAND CDMA USB MODEM to samsung galaxy tab 2. Tab recognizes the router but not the Internet or modem connected to it. I have tried configuring the router as said by the TP-LINK customer care. after configuring , it shows signal strength well and good. but when i try connecting to obtain IP adress it fails. Kindly help me out of this problem.
What’s the exact model number of your ZTE modem? Have you entered correct dialing number, apn, user name and password in settings?
I want to buy tp link mr 3040… Battery powered … As I keep on roaming … What I’d the cost and whr can I find it in Mumbai…
TP Link MR 3040 will cost around Rs 4300-4600. You can check out local computer stores or buy it from Ebay.
can i insert any gsm sim in mmx 400r…?
can i connect with mmx funbook tablet?
Yes you can use any GSM SIM in it and you can use Micromax Funbook with it.
thnks
how much is it..?
It costs around Rs 2300-2600.
Hi. Howz the speed of Micromax 400R. I am using a micromax 353G data card and reliance 3g sim. I currently get download speed of around 400 – 700 kbps.
How much speed can i get if i use micromax 400R (i.e. thru wifi). I am also going to connect xbox for online gaming?
I think speed will be almost similar as internet speed mostly depends on the network. Both Micromax MMX 353G and Micromax 400R are capable of 7.2 Mbps download speed, so it will not be a problem.
i m using t mobiles 3g data card i want to connect wifi through pc through usb port i mean

Sorry I can not understand your question. Can you please elaborate?
i just got TP-Link TL-MR3040. I need to use it in India on my ipad wifi . What is the best Internet service provide provider I can connect it to? Do I just need to buy any Internet Dongal in India and get connected to wifi. I don’t have a laptop, just ipad, short travel to India. Please advise! Cheers!
Hi Smit, you need a USB modem to use with the TP-Link router. There are many ISP in India like BSNL, Airtel, Vodafone etc.
Thanks plaban… As mentioned earlier I won’t be using any laptop in India..so can I just connect any ISP with out downloading the dailer which the ISP provider provides that has to be download in your computer.. Not sure if ipad will support that dailer.. Please advice ! Cheers!
You don’t need to download any dialer. I think TP-Link TL-MR3040 have a web interface to configure USB modem settings. You need to just plug in a compatible USB modem and configure its settings using the web interface of the router and connect to the internet.
Hi Plaban,
I want help form you , Yestarday i have purchased a LAVA W150 form Ebay , when i try to connect my HUAWEI EC159 modem , it gets connected but no internet connect ( Error : No gateway) , please help me in configuring the same.
I also tried to connect airtel 3g dongle , which got connected instantaneously.
Have you checked the modem compatibility list of Lava W150? Is Huawei EC159 listed there? Please check network configurations like dialing no. user name, APN etc.
Can I connect 3G Sim card directly to Lava W150?
No, you need to use a USB modem with it.
Hi
Do you know any 3g routers which combines facility of directly placing SIM card like Micromax MMX 400r at the sme time can be connected to Lan internet connectivity like broadband Rj-45 cable or cable wire.
Thanks
hello bharat,
I hope that you may go for lava. but the only option is to use usb modem i think it is because in-built sim gives constant connectivity and it drains battery a lot.
your opinion plaban?
Yes, the Lava router has Rj-45 connectivity. You can also try the TP link 3020. I think there are some Wi-Fi routers with inbuilt SIM card slot and Rj-45 connectivity. I don’t know exact model names though.
Dear Mr. Plaban,
In connection of my query at 27th. Sept. & your valuable reply I have purchased TP LINK LT MR 3020 and wireless net connection is MTS MBlaze (Model No. AC 2787) broadband. My laptop HP Mini 110 (window 7). I’ve followed all instruction wrote in TP Link’s router manual & tried to get Wi-Fi but it didn’t connect. MTS Mblaze is working very fine when I install directly to my laptop. How do I sue that router to make wi-fi with MBlaze. please advise me step by step. I am greatful to you.
Hello Indranil, have you got any solution for your connectivity issue. I also have same MTS data card (AC 2787) and I am planning to buy TP LINK LT MR 3020 router. Please advice me should I go for it or not.
Hi Indranil, the TP Link router has a web based configuration options. You can use the ‘Quick Settings’ to easily configure the USB modem. Select ‘MTS India’ while setting up the MTS modem.
micromax3g data modem card very very slow please do not use this data card.
What is the difference between 3g wi fi modem and router?
3G Wi-Fi modems have a SIM card slot while most of the 3G Wi-Fi routers don’t have SIM card slot.
how to connect Huawei E355 with mobile is it need any cable or we can use it directly ?
You don’t need any cable. Plug in the modem to computer and start the Wi-Fi hotspot, now turn on mobile’s Wi-Fi and connect to the network.
Hi bro yesterday i brought MR3220 model i did as mentioned in the router configuration sheet when i insert my mts AC2746 in it usb light is not glowing i tried it with E173 also still usb light is not glowing please help
The modem light should glow when you connect it to the router. Contact TP-Link or the computer shop if the router is not working properly.
i have a laptop and using ZTE zxdsl 831A11 modem for bsnl broadband but i want to operate one laptop also which will away 80 meter from our modem,how can we operate both laptop for internet?
You can use any Wi-Fi 3G router to use internet on both laptops or use software like ‘Connectify’ to turn your first laptop in to Wi-Fi hotspot. But the coverage will be less.
I am planning to buy Asus RT-N10E router along with a broadband connection. Is the router good? Secondly, can I connect my Android handset without first opening my laptop to get the wifi connection?
Hi,
First of all Thanks for great information.
I’m looking to buy TP Link MR3220 router. I have huawei E1732 3g modem which is in tp link 3220 router’s supporting device list. But the modem which I’m having is unlocked one.
So I want to know whether tp link 3220 supports unlocked modem?
Yes, it does.
1st …tnx..tnx…a lot for this gr8 info.. 🙂
.
2nd thing i just bought ipod 5g!
but in India we don’t have that much wifi spots. So i need 1 wifi creator modem to access Internet on it … but i don’t have laptop ,
so i need wifi creator to which i can just plug my Mblaze or any other 3g USB modem to use sim card Internet service…
n it will also dial it automatically.. (1st operation we usually perform before connecting to net while using 3g modem by putting sim card into it )..
thanks in advance ..)
Please write what will be the best match for sony tablet sgpt113. I shall be highly obliged.
You can use anyone from the list. All will work fine with your tablet.

tp link tl-mr3220 with 2g ( EDGE ) connection only ,

Yes it will work with EDGE only.
Hi,
I bought mmx400r, I know there is no provision to find the balance with the help of device or its web app.
Do you know any 3rd party app to use the phone calls / USSD with MMX400R?
thanks
Muralidharan
I want to use TL-MR3020 with Reliance Huawei EC-150 dongle,for internet connection to my laptop with Windows XP, iPod 3 and Kindle. I am discouraged by the 3020 spec OS- Windows 7 . Where does the OS come in?
Will there be any other problem?
Don’t worry, I think it will work on Windows XP without any problem.
hey plaban,
iam facing some problem in connecting my reliance huawei ec150 wit tl3020. its showing as connecting but never gets connected. can you throw some lights on this issue?
Hi,
Do you have any idea of the normal range of this wifi strength covers? Like 10 meters, 25 meters radius etc?
Thank you.
Hi All,
I came across the below where we can use any internet connection and create our own wlan setup with win7. please have a look and try. It worked for me..
hi, can i use/connect tplink 3040 portable router to sony smart tv thru lan port. the 3040 is connected to my 3g mobile(hot spot) thru wifi. So can i use internet on sony tv without sony specified 3g dongle (UWA-BR100).
Yes, it should work. But still it’s a good idea to confirm this with TP-Link before purchasing the router.
CAN 2G DATACARD SUPPORT TO 3G ROUTER
CAN 2G DATACARD SUPPORT TO 3G ROUTER TO THE DIGISOL ROUTER
I guess TP-Link 3040 doesn’t have option to insert your 3G sim and use it as a 3G Data Card. Can you please confirm?
My requirement is to have a WiFi modem cum router. Huawei E355 seems to be a very good option but it lack the option to use with a tab on a go (where there is no option or power outlet/USB port). What could be the best option to address this requirement?
TP-Link 3040 doesn’t have a SIM card slot, you have to use an external 3G modem with it. I think you should get a Micromax MMX400R which has a SIM card slot and built-in battery.
I am using TATA Docomo 3g Dongle. Can I connect that to one of these. Hope there won’t be any compatible issue
Yes it will work.
Thanks, e560 is Permanently discontinued.any idea on HUAWEI E5832
Huawei E5832 will be similar to E560. It’s available on Ebay for around Rs 2.6k
Thanks Buddy. I just placed an order and hope I just need to unplug my sim from the tata dongle and plug the same to HUAWEI E5832 for it to work well.. Great info
Don’t forget to share your experience with us after using the router 🙂
Hi Plaban,
Very useful post. However am totally lost now. Some questions below if you don’t mind.
1. Does a wireless modem mean that it will have to connect via sim or a 3G dongle?
2. So a wifi 3g modem + router basically means I can use a 3G dongle or sim card to create a wifi network, am I right here?
3. Some of these will have the option of creating a wired network as well?
4. The advantage of using a sim based portable wi fi 3G modem router is that I can use it on multiple devices, right?
5. What would you recommend for setting up a home network and for travel? If I could just pop the sim into my ipad for office, and into the router for home would be great right? Plus if on longer stay can take the router with me.
Thanks!!!
Hi Madan,
I’m very sorry for the confusion. I’ll update the article soon with more information. Let me answer your questions one by one.
1. Using Wi-Fi routers you will be able to share your internet connection through Wi-Fi. Typical Wi-Fi routers can share wired broadband internet connection whereas these Wi-Fi 3G routers can share 3G internet connection in addition to that (there is some exception though). Some 3G Wi-Fi routes like Huawei E560 or Micromax 400R comes with a SIM card slot where you just need to insert a 3G SIM card for internet connectivity. But some routers like TP-Link TL-MR3020 don’t have this feature, so you need to plug a compatible USB 3G modem in order to share the internet.
2. To create a Wi-Fi network you need the following things-
i> 3G Wi-Fi router (e.g.: Huawei E56 or Micromax 400R ) + 3G SIM
Or
ii> 3G Wi-Fi Router (e.g. TP-Link TL-MR3020 ) + External 3G modem+ 3G SIM
3. Yes, some routers have a LAN port using which you can create a wired network. In this article we have mainly discussed about portable Wi-Fi 3G routers which are smaller in size and some has only one LAN port (e.g. TP-Link TL-MR3020, Lava Mi-Fi Router W150:). If you need to connect multiple computers then you may consider bigger routers like TP Link TL-MR3220 which has 4-5 LAN ports.
4. Yes, you can use the internet on multiple devices at the same time (some routes support up to 5 devices simultaneously).
5. Select a router according to your preference. If you want to set up a home network and share 3G internet connection then I’ll recommend you to use some routers like TP Link TL-MR3220. For travel you can select a router which has inbuilt battery like Huawei E560 or Micromax 400R.
Oh and if you could mention where I could get it in Mumbai, would be helpful.
You can check out local computer stores or buy from Flipkart or eBay.
May I know the 3g routers works with bsnl/airtel broadband internet connection?
I already have airtel broadband internet connection (not WAN/LAN like port, a telephone cable port), I am using an ADSL2 modem/router to broadcast it to wifi signal. Also have a USB modem, so I want to device to broadcast wifi signal from noth USB modem and broadband internet connection.
I think TP Link TL-MR3220 will be suitable for you.
Hi,

You have to just create a Wi-Fi network using the Wi-Fi 3G modem and then connect Nexus 7 to the Wi-Fi network to access internet.
i have a Nexus 7 8GB Wifi only tablet, pl sugest any portable wifi router to access the net connectivity. Is TP Link MR3020 OK for the same?
i have an micromax USB modem, and airtel sim card in it. When i inserted it in my laptop, micromax usb get installed but it is showing no connections available, although my airtel sim has been activated. Kindly suggest what settings should be done to connect to internet..
For accessing Airtel 2G internet you have to add on APN as airtelgprs.com. I don’t know APN for accessing 3G. Please call customer care for full settings.
first for all see you sim card that its correct entererd in modem then open micromax apps. in your laptop and click network selection in micromax apps then select automatic network ( for automatic detect you sim ) now go connection profile click add then select airtel network ………..and the last click on connect internet options in your modem if its connect then you surfing internet……thats all
I tried to connect MTS Mblaze dongle ZTE AC2746 with Lava W150 for sharing internet connection with Laptop, Andriod phone through WiFi. It is in supported list of Lava W150 Pocket router. For sometime only google site opened, no other site opened. Network is showing weak signal. But dongle is working very fine when used directly. Please suggest what to do?
Please check the internet configuration setting in the router. Try changing DNS (if supported) to Google DNS or Open DNS.
I am having the same problem. I have an MTNL 3G Jadoo SIM which refuses to connect with my Huawei E 355. However, It seems to be working fine on other devices. What should one do?
I am using leoxsys battery powered pocket 3G Router and working perfectly since last 15 months.can check more details by googling.
Thanks for the reply to my last query.
I have installed TL-MR3020 with Reliance Dongle, to feed my laptop, iPad and Kindle. Everything is fine except frequent interruption to Internet connection on the laptop. Dongle directly on laptop was much better.
Also is there a way to WiFi enable my Canon MP145 printer, now working from USB.
Dear Plaban , I live in rural area where only 2g service is available even though it is too poor and fluctuating , i have visiontek 3g modem since connectivity is low so i get speed 5-20 /kbps for my laptop
1.If i buy micromax MMX400r wireless router can iget enhanced speed can this router improve speed… or any other router can give me a satisfactory solution .
2.Except router any another device which can enhance net speed up to almost 50-75/kbps that will be sufficent for me in available 2g .
Dear friend i am very puzzled with low speed problem ,i tabled while scene of my area’s available internet fascility now what step or device can solve my problem plzzzzzzz
Hi Ramesh,
Internet speed mostly depends on network strength, no. of active users etc. On 2G internet connection 5-20 kBps is normal speed. The maximum speed I’ve seen in 2G network was around 32 kBps.
You will not get better speed if you buy Micromax modem. Although there are some modems like Huawei E355 which has Type3i Technology which provides upto 20% more upload and download speed. But on 2G network the increase will be negligible.
Do you have any other EDVO based wireless service provider in your area? Like BSNL EVDO, MTS MBalze, Tata Photon Plus?
Thanks for such a wonderful info above…I have a acer iconia a100 wifi only tablet.I want a portable internet solution for it..It has a micro usb slot…so no normal datacard can be used.i travel very much so i want a very portable datacard with call & sms facility….
Which one will be the best choice???????pls give full spec & features..Is beetel/micromax/huawei Mi-fi a good choice??? do they have sms & call facility???
I’ll recommend Huawei E560 for this purpose as it comes with built-in battery and SIM card slot. But it has been discontinued recently so you have to check local computer stores if they have any old stock of this. Otherwise Micromax 400R is good alternative. You may also consider Beetel 3G Max(MI-FI) which has faster upload speed compared to Micromax. Please visit these links for full specification-
Huawei E560: http://www.huaweidevice.co.in/Products/MobileBroadband/E560.php
MMX 400R: http://www.micromaxinfo.com/dataCard-main.aspx?dataCardId=4
Beetel 3G Max(MI-FI): http://www.beetel.in/node/9032
Unfortunately none of these Wi-Fi Data cards support SMS and calling facility.
Hi Plaban
I recently bought TP link MR 3040. Have you tried this? Presuming that MR 3040 is the battery powered clone of MR 3020. While connecting to MTS MBlaze (using MR 3020) did you see any difference in speed? I got MR 3040 connected to the MTS MBlaze modem (ZTE AC2766), but the speed becomes very slow, like GPRS. Any clue on this?? Plz help!
I’ve not used TP Link MR 3040. I’ve TP Link MR 3220 and don’t have any speed problem while using MTS MBlaze or BSNL EVDO. I think you are getting GPRS like speed because for some reason the modem is connecting to slow 1X network instead of high speed EVDO network. Go through the setting and check whether you can switch between 1X and EVDO networks.
hi, I recently bought a TL-MR3220 V2 to use with BSNL EvDo (Prithvi UE100 modem), but the problem I’m facing is pretty weird. I’m getting much slower speed if I connect via the modem, almost like its on slower network………a suggestion will be appreciated, thanks
I think your modem is selecting 1X network instead of high speed EDVO network.
Can you confirm you have a MR3220 V2 working with BSNL UE100, as I was told that it does not work with V2.
Which firmware version are you using…
Can you pls. confirm that BSNL UE-100 works with MR3220 V2, as I was told this ill not work on V2.
Which Firmware are you using & what is the dialer setup like…
Pls. provide the feedback as I have the same setup but not working.
Hi, Plaban,
Can you confirm that the TP MR 3040 is the battery powered clone of TP MR 3020 i.e. other than the battery, they are effectivly the same.
Many Thanks in advance.
Apologies, I meant to ask;
If TL MR 3040 is the battery powered clone of TL MR 3020.
Yes, both are almost similar.
i have mtnl broadband wi-fi internet..but when i connect my htc mobile phone with that wi-fi network it is not working..so what can i do for access of internet in my htc with wi-fi network..?????????????
Please check all settings of Wi-Fi router. Are you able to connect to the Wi-Fi network from mobile or not?
plz tell me about iball wifi modem model no. IB-W3GX150N, can i use 2g sim in it ?
It doesn’t have any SIM card slot. So you have to use an external modem with it. 2G modem will work with it.
Hi,
I have a Phoon+ data card, how can i create a wifi network. Which will be the best Wi-Fi 3G Routers.
Please suggest a solution?
Hi Gurpreet,
You can use any Wi-Fi 3G router with Photon+ data card to create Wi-Fi network. TP-Link TL-MR3020 will be a good choice.
Which one do u recommend. Which data card is speedest and cheapest.
Huawei data cards are usually better than others.

Select a 3G network which has good coverage and data plans in your place.
hi , is there any wifi router/data cards with both ethernet and 3g sim slot
There may be some 3G routers with battery and Ethernet support. I don’t know any model names. I’ll update the article if I find any.
Hi Plaban 🙂
I want to know which WI FI Router works 100% fine with my Reliance Net Connect Plus data card (ZTE AC2737) & Lava 730G (Using 3G with Airtel GSM Sim Card)
Operating Systems: Windows XP sp2(Using with Desktop), Windows7(Using with Desktop), Linux(Ubuntu 11.10)(Using with Sony VAIO SVE15116EN Laptop), Ios(Apple Iphone 4s2)
Only Suggest Anyone Out Of These Two:
TP Link MR 3020
TP Link MR 3040
Thanks, Have a nice evng 🙂
hi, does tplink tp mr 3020 support airtel 4g ueb modem
No, Airtel 4G LTE USB dongle will not work with it. Check the full compatibility list here http://www.tp-link.in/support/3g-comp-list/?model=TL-MR3020
WHICH WIFI ROUTER IS SUITABLE FOR WINDOWS SURFACE RT. I WANT TO USE IT(ROUTER) WITH DONGLE/SIM (3G/CDMA) WITH BATTERY BACK UP
You can use Huawei E560 or Micromax 400R.
I have got tata photon plus connection (prepaid) with huwaei EC 152 device.I need 3g wifi router for my micromax tablet.Can u suggest one? On laptop i need to select prepaid from default setting of postpaid. For 3g wifi router what settings do i need to change for prepaid
TP Link routers have web based configuration settings. You can configure Tata Phonon Plus setting from there.
Hi I have got TP 3040 router but not able to connet tata phton plus 2g.
Hi plaban
i bought my google nexus 7 tablet today, i need to connect my reliance data card to it, is it possible?
if not , then how can i connect without using wifi
Hi,
Your Reliance data card will work with these 3G routers.
Hi Plaban, nice review, thank you.
I just have one question:
can any of this devices work without beeing connected to the computer?
Yes, all of these routers will work without being connected to the computer.
Thank you for the answer.
So this means I can connect to the router over the wifi and then connect to the internet? Theorethically I never need to connect with the router to PC via cable?
You don’t need to connect the router to PC using cable.
Hi i have bought a hcl me u1 tablet and a tata photon modem. now i want to connect that modem wth my tab through a wifi router. can i do that and if yes can u tell me which model and wer i’l get it.
Yes, you can do that. I think battery equipped 3G router like Lava Mi-Fi Router W150v will be good for you. You can buy it from online stores like Flipkart.
Hi,
I bought the Beetel 3G max wifi router to work with my Vodafone 3G data card. However when i use the SIM with the Beetel router it only registers the 2G network. But when I use the SIM with the Vodafone USB dongle I get 3G connectivity. Are you able to advise what is causing this problem?
I think there should be some network settings in the router, You can manually select 3G network mode from there.
Thanks, I had set the network select on auto, and normally it should have taken it. However when I tried it from my office it picked up the 3G network. From home I still have a problem, the Vodafone dongle picks 3G and the router picks 2G. If I manually scan for available networks it only shows the 2G network…:(
How is the 3G signal strength at your home?
Admittedly the 3G signal is not very strong at home, should that make a difference? In that case shouldn’t the USB dongle also pick the 2G?
I have just bought a Beetel 3G Max wifi device. I am using an new Idea sim with 3G network. but it shows a red solid light on the network connection resembling 2g connectivity. The device does not connect with my laptop after entering the security key in the wifi settings. I am using the windows 8 software. Can u please help….
Disable security settings first and try to connect it to the laptop. If everything works fine then enable security settings. I think there should be some option to manually select 3G network.
Hi I had bought an Touchmate tablet ( it has Wi-Fi and USB dongle )and it accepts only 3g connection, hence I checked it with reliance 3G 7.2 mpbs and it was working, however later while buying i got a good offer and i bought the 21 mpbs dongle.. now this dongle is not compatible with my tablet and its a waste :
1. Are there any software to make the dongle compatible with tablet ?
2. Shalli buy a router to attach the relaince 21 mpbs data card to it and then use tablet with wifi ? Would i get similar speed ?
Regards.
Vishal
You can contact the tablet manufacturer and ask about the modem compatibility. I think the chance is less. You can buy any portable 3G router which supports the 21 Mbps modem. Check TP Link website and find out which router supports your modem. Yes, speed will be similar.
Thanks Plaban,
1. I searched the entire mulund market but cudnt lay my hand on TP – Link nano router, storekeeper said it does not sell much.
2. all i got was I-Ball travel router with/without batter but it is priced at 2500 / 3500 respectively. It doesnt have sim card slot.
Please share you clairvoyance in suggesting what to do .
1. Shalli go ahead with I-Ball
2. Or shall go ahead with Micromax ( which unfortunately not available anywhere) which by the way in the same cost range as i-ball but with sim and other features
3. I should order tp-link online
Hi plaban,
I have a few queries …
1. Is Mblaze USB modem ZTE ac 2787 compatible with TP link MR 3040?
2. Is it possible to frequently switch between evdo modem and 3G dongle (sim card option) without any kind of setup on MR 3040?
3. ….. And lastly is the MR 3040 a plug and play type or is there any setup involved (I guess this should also answer my previous question)?
Thanks…
Hi
Well I have checked their site and I guess it’s not compatible with MR 3040. Could you suggest any other portable router to work with ZTE AC 2787
Check the Huawei 3G routers.
Micromax MMX – 400R – 3G Pocket Wireless Router
Micromax MMX – 400R – data card
which one of the above is best for laptop ,pc ,tablet, smart phone.?
In features of Micromax MMX – 400R – data card i saw————————— Browser : Internet Explorer 3.0/4.0
what does it means ?
Both are same http://www.micromaxinfo.com/data-card/router/mmx%20400r
You can any latest browser with it.
which is best : –
Micromax MMX 400R 3g wireless router
or
Beetel 3g max wifi router
If you want faster upload speed then Beetel 3G max will be better otherwise buy Micrmax 400R.
is uploading and downloading speed of Micromax MMX 400R 3g wireless router
and
Beetel 3g max wifi router is same i need both uploading and downloading speed high which of above both i can buy
Both 3G routers offer 7.2 Mbps download speed. Micromax 400R supports upload speed up to 384 Kbps only whereas Beetel 3G Max offers 5.76Mbps upload speed.
how we connect beetel 3g router to computer without wifi.
I think it’s not possible to connect it to computer and use internet connection without Wi-Fi as it doesn’t have any LAN port. You can buy Wi-Fi adapter for desktop to use Wi-Fi. However it supports USB cable I’m not sure if you can use internet using that USB connectivity.
1.) how we can connect mmx 400r to computer without wifi ?
2.) which is best for computer to connect it by usb :-
Micromax MMX 400R 3g wireless router
or
Beetel 3g max wifi router
3.) which is best wifi adapter for computer ; from where online i can buy it?
You need a Wi-Fi adapter to use these 3G routers with computer. You can buy Wi-Fi routers online. Here is one link http://www.homeshop18.com/netgear-wna1100-usb-wifi-adapter/computer-peripherals/networking-equipment/product:27915767/cid:3299/?pos=1
please suggest me which modem is best between Huawei e355 and e3131b in term of performance speed and heat. If e355 is best then tell me is it possible to make a call in this modem by installing mobile partner software. And if e3131b is best then suggest me a good router for it.
Both are very good data cards and don’t get very hot during prolonged usage. Huawei E3131B has calling feature and can be used as Wi-Fi router when connected to the computer. Huawei E355 doesn’t have calling facility.
Dear All,
I have a wifi router Lava W150 and i want to connect this with my existing dongle Tata Photon Plus (Olive VME102), It is not connecting. The Red light is blinking continuously in the wifi router. I did some internet research and made some changes in the APN settings, but nothing went well. Can somebody suggest me the solution? otherwise i have done a wrong investment of buying a router.
Thanks,
Pallav Mathur
thanks for previous reply. Now i decided to buy a huawei 3131 from snapdeal. Is this modem unlocked?

I want to know the compatibility of the modem with these router from tp link they ask me is huawei 3131 modem is unlocked? how did i know the compatibility.
Hi Shirsendu,
Snapdeal is selling unlocked Huawei E3131 modem. TP Link MR 3220 is a good router and I’m using it. If you want a portable router then get TL-MR 3020 otherwise TP Link MR 3220 is a good choice.
Visit these pages for 3G/4G modem compatibility list:
TP Link MR 3220
http://www.tp-link.com/en/support/3g-comp-list/?model=TL-MR3020&location=1151
TP Link MR 3020
http://www.tp-link.com/en/support/3g-comp-list/?model=TL-MR3220&location=1151
Huawei E3131 is not on the compatibility list, you should contact TP Link before purchasing it.
I have an Tata Photon+ USB internet. I want to have Wi Fi in my house with Tata Photon+ USB internet.
Can TP-Link TL-MR3020 Portable 3G Router will solve my problem?
Model no of my Photon + is EC156.
Unfortunately, TP-Link MR 3020 does not support your modem. Here is the modem compatibility list http://www.tp-link.com/en/support/3g-comp-list/?model=TL-MR3020&location=1151
I have a Tata photon + EC 156 and i want to connect it to a portable wifi router .Is it compatible with tp link -tl mr-3020/3040? if not what other company s routers support it ? i want something with in rs 3000
I will like to be updated on the technological information you are offering.
I have my old Netgear(N600 premium) router which I bought from USA. As my area doesn’t broadband/cable internet connectivty, I have been using Ariterl 3G with my laptop and not able to share internet connectivity to my Galaxy tab or Desktop(don’t have wireless capability).
Now, after looking at your post(thanks for the details) I am planning to buy TL-3040(Portable 3G router with battery) which will work with my Airtel 3G modem.
My question here is, can I connect this TL-3040 to my Netgear router thru LAN cable and extend the internet connection (as Netgear has multiple LAN ports and gives good signal strength in my 4 story house).
I do see TL-3040 has 1 LAN/WAN port for this purpose but just wanted to be sure before I buy it.
Please suggest.
Hi Suresh,
I think it should work. But I’m not totally sure about it.
Configure the Netgear router to wireless repeater mode, if available.
plz sugges, cheapst wifi modem router , i m resdng in small town.
Hi Plaban
It was very informative reading all the questions and your replies to them.You rock man. You are really clearing a lot of confusions people have (me included) about 3G WiFi routers/modems/ Wlan networks and related devices.
I would be greatful if you could suggest the ideal devices to use for my following setup.
Remote place.No broadband internet connection available.from any ISP’s
Possible 2g/3G internet connection via dongle.
Need to uplaod video data (from surviellance cameras)
Ideal upload speed reqiured is 512kbps could do with little less
Do 3G WiFi routers have port forwarding fecility like Broadband routers ?
Do 2G/3G ISP’s provide a static IP no. on demand ?
Thanks a million
Thanks Ravi 🙂
I think 3G Wi-Fi routers don’t support port forwarding when connected to 3G network. Upload speed of 2G network will be much less than 512 kbps, you should use only 3G networks.
BSNL EVDO provides static IP for Rs 150/month.

Recently I got MTS MBlaze AC2787 and TP-Link MR3220 after checking compatibility on TP-Link Site. The MTS dongle works fine with my new laptop but not able to use the same with TP-Ling router. Eventhoug router has latest firmware but read somewhere that it has some bug hence did firmware downgrade also. But still not able to connect using MTS Dongle. Does anyone has idea how to setup the same.
Tried reached TP-Link customer care but not received any revert from them. Please help!!!!
I have the same problem. I bought MTS Broadband USB Dongle (Model AC2787) which is not supporting my 3g wifi router. Also I tried to setup virtual wifi router with connectify (www.connectify.me) and virtual router (http://virtualrouter.codeplex.com/) but all failed. :/
Hi Ashok, Exactly what error you are getting when trying to connect? Have you selected MTS India in ‘Quick Setup’ menu? Sometime changing firmware version may help.

You can use TP Link MR 3220.
I have Tata Photon plus data card.The device is Huwai EC 760.Please suggest
a suitable wifi router.Thank you
TP Link website is not showing your Huawei modem in their compatibility list. I’ll suggest you to directly ask ask them about it.
Throw ‘Lave W150 Router’ or ‘TP-LINK Portable 3G/3.75G/4G Wireless N Router’, I Want ‘File Sharing’ and ‘Internet connection’ B/w Lappy & Tap at a Same Time. Is It Possible. Actually I M interested in Both of The Router But Confuse About File Sharing and Net Connection At Same Time.
Yes, it is possible. If you are using Android tablet you can follow this guide http://www.webadvices.com/2013/02/access-computer-files-android-wirelessly.html

Hi,
You can buy any Wi-Fi 3G router mentioned in the article. It will solve the problem. If you don’t want to buy a router then you can use some software like Connectify to share internet connection from laptop. http://www.webadvices.com/2013/01/connectify-turns-laptop-into-wi-fi-hotspot.html

Hi Plaban, i need your advice aggain! I have TP-Link TL-MR3020 Portable 3G Wi-Fi Router. I use tata photon pluse connection with it to access Internet on samsung a wifi tab 2. The problem is sometimes the Internet gets disconnected and its starts back if I re configure the router as per the manual . This is happening very often now. Is there a reason why this is happening? Or can you advice a router which supports best for indian dongle Internet connections?
Try updating router’s firmware. It can be ISP issue also. TP-link 3G routers supports most of the dongles.

Hi all,
Can anyone confirm if tp3040 is compatible with tata photon plus dongle: ZTE 2787
Yes, it is compatible. Check it here- http://www.tp-link.in/support/3g-comp-list/?model=TL-MR3040
Hey, I was planning to buy a dongle so I needed some help.I wanted to know whether any of Huawae dongle e8221 & e8231 support voice calling & USSD feature AFTER INSTALLING ANY HUAWAE SOFTWARE/MOBILE PARTNER SOFTWARE.
If not then recommend a decent priced dongle in 1k-2K which
has features-
1.Wifi hotspot {with internal transreciever antenna to act as router(so not soft WiFi)}
2.GSM with 3g HSPA/HSPA+ (21 or 14 Mbps speed)
2)Call & SMS support.
3)USSD
7)USB 2.0 compatable.
8)Workable with windows 7, xp
9)Plug & play,no installation.
Thankz
