<div dir="ltr">Hi Erez,<div><br></div><div>Your original email was pretty vague:</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.727272033691406px">> I </span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.727272033691406px">am looking for a Mifi (i.e. cellular wifi) router which i can run linux on.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.727272033691406px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.727272033691406px">So I'm not sure why you are surprised with the responses. I interpreted that as you wanting something relatively small that runs linux and can connect to cellular networks. </span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.727272033691406px">You might want to be a little more specific with what you want if you want more specific responses.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.727272033691406px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.727272033691406px">Here is another suggestion (again, it depends on why you want to run linux on it). Get a cheap android phone. It runs linux (sort of) and can act as a router.</span></div>

and that reminded me about the donkey with painted stripes.<br><br>no offense but, <br>maybe this is because people are too eager to help<br>but a wireless router is not built with small size, low battery consumption and many other consideration a mifi does.<br>
do you thing i can sell a "wireless router + 3g dongle + battery" as a product ? people will laugh at me and i will be out of business.<br><br>so thanks for your help, but if you know of a MIFI I can put some kind of Linux on, please let me know<br>
<br>Thanks<br>Erez<br><br>(and again, no offense meant)<br></div>
