the problem with cheaper routers you can get at walmart is they are only designed to accept internet coming from cable or DSL, via ethernet cable. they do NOT have any way to accept an EVDO device as an internet source.

the cheap CTR350 works great with the UM150 and your game console.

Alex is right, the routers at your local Radioshack & Circuit City won't accept EVDO connections. 3Gstore is your best bet getting your PS3 online, as they include their exclusive EVDO Gaming guide with the purchase of every CradlePoint router Wink

Dude just saved you a nice amount of coin^.. if you just want to play games go with the internet connection sharing option.. you won't need a router and a "gaming PDF" ert.. save your cash and buy some more games

so would you guys (admins) recommend the 350 model or the 500, i really don't want to spend the money on something that is only just slightly better

the CTR350 is the lesser expensive option. no doubt.

the CTR500 does not offer any advantage from "gaming perspective", but it is a better investment for "the long haul".

at some point in the future, you may regret not having the CTR500's signal lights, faster processor, external wifi antenna jack, and expresscard slot.

what kind of range are we talking with the 350. I used to use just normal g routers when I had satellite internet and it worked fine for my ps3 so will these have about the same range

so all im really sacrificing is a tiny bit of features that wont hurt performance and a slight amount of processor speed?

so is the processor speed then comparable (for the 350) to something like a netgear g router or any other standard g router?
