I am moving and need to have an internet connection where there is
none for a short time, few days to a week at most.
I have a ZTE MF637 Netstick with a data plan on Orange.
I am looking for a router (preferably Linux based) that I can plug the
netstick into, and have it provide wifi (and wired if possible)
internet access. Basically a standard router with the WAN connection
being the netstick instead of aDSL or ethernet.
It is for several computers running Windows 7, IOS devices and a Mac.
There also will be linux systems attached to it, but not immediately.
The advantage of a router is that I can set it up here, as I won't be
going to the new home until I leave the old one, and have someone else
take it there, plug it in and sit it in a corner, hopefully ignored by
everyone. :-)
I need to be able to buy it in Israel, preferably in Jerusalem.
I am aware that I could load a Linux distro on netbook or old computer
and do it with hostap, but I would prefer something that requires as
little work on my part. If there is a packaged system that one just
installs and it works, that would be ok, but I simply don't have time
to build and test a system from scratch.
My budget is fairly limited, so please don't tell me to buy an iPhone
or Galaxy S2.
Thanks in advance,
Geoff.
