   Hi Rami97

   would you be able to clarify the make and model of your USB modem? Dovado can generally add support for modems once they get hold of a sample.

   Hi Ram97, from what I can see the ZTE tu25 is a WiMAX USB modem, which isn’t supported on the Dovado UMR. I have asked Dovado if there is a prospect for this type of modem to be supported.

    Jonathan, it all depends on what modem you are using in the Philippines. If it’s listed on http://dovado.com/modems then the UMR will work for you and we’re certainly happy to ship to the Philippines.

    Gerry my Ubuntu webbook picked up my LG viewty as a broadband modem when I plugged it in via usb. Do you know if the Dovado will be able to use this phone as a modem.

    Hi Hygaphunkik – I did ask Dovado a while back about the “phones as modems” issue. Here is the gist of their response:

    With mobile phones it becomes a case of “support one, you gotta support all”. We don’t want to go down this road just yet since it would be a terribly expensive effort and with mobile phone firmwares updating all the time, we’d be bombarded with support issues. Asides from that, the mobile phone is not the device with a comfortable data plan. Even with a good data plan, they usually do not allow mobile tethering. There are a few exceptions, but that’s all they are today: few exceptions. This may change in the future, no doubt, but for now we don’t want to be synonymous with this and raise everyone’s hopes about supporting their phone. We nearly always require the device in order to support it.

    Dear Gerry, the UMR has already been received here. It works very well with ZTE AC2726 USB modem. Dodavo UMR is a very great product!

    I have a little incident here… In the package I can not find the wifi antenna.

    I believe the antenna has been lost somewhere during the inspection by the indonesian custom or postal service and will be very useless if we file the complain to them

    I hope in the future 3Genuity can provide an alternative shipment service such as DHL or FedEx.

    Oh dear, Hadi, that’s very frustrating. we can use FedEx for customers if requested but of course that costs nearly as much as the UMR itself (c. EUR 70) and doesn’t necessarily guarantee smooth passage through customs.

    Good to hear the UMR is working well with the AC2726.

    Hello Gerry, Could you recommend a wifi repeater this is compatible with and easy to connect to the UMR (preferably one that is available in the US)? I live in a house with a lot of concrete walls and am looking to extend the range. Thanks

    Hi Bill – there isn’t a particular WiFi repeater I can recommend from first-hand experience. You basically want a wireless access point that supports Repeater Mode or Universal Repeater Mode as it is sometimes called. The ZyXEL G-570U or the D-Link DWL-2100AP would be suitable examples, but note that these don’t provide multiple LAN ports. I have worked with the Edimax EW-7209APg which offers 5 LAN ports. The documentation was practically useless, but I got its universal repeater mode going eventually thanks to some online articles.
