To my knowledge the umr is one of the routers with the widest range of supported usb modems and if you have a modem that is not supported give me or them a shout and they will probably add support for the modem.

The new firmware fixed the issue where the router shows  the signal as “no service” it now displays “Not Available” for the neotel Prime device

    how does it work

    The router have 2 usb ports 1 is for extra power for 3G modems that need more power.

    The neotel modem’s usb port plug into the router and the router’s firmware have been programmed to support the neotel phones.

    You have to log into the routers interface and enter your neotel username and password and the router does the rest.

    NB: The router can not display the signal strength and will say no signal but that does not mean it is not working.

    DOVADO and the manufacturer of the phone in South Africa was nice enough to collaborate to achieving this.
