Introduction

Nowadays we are spoilt of choices. From Fixed Line broadband to mobile broadband. Although most broadband users require a fixed line broadband at home for surfing, the take up rate of the mobile broadband is rising as more users surfing via their notebook or netbooks.

In Singapore, all three telecom operators M1, Starhub, Singtel all has competitive plans for such mobile internet plans. Charges for an unlimited 1mbps plan costs only from S$15.00+. There are even 21Mbps plans available. With such high speeds, some users are tempted to switch entirely to a mobile solution since they can surf outside using their notebook and surf at home using their desktop PC.

As most telcos only provide a USB Stick for a 24 mths contract, you can possibly share out the bandwidth with a traditional 4 port switch router. Another alternative is to power up your PC to run it as a router. That is too time consuming and not worth the effort.

Aztech has a solution for you. The Aztech HW550-3G WiFi-N Router is a 4 port wireless N router plus HSPA support 3G mobile Broadband router. The router comes with 4 switch ports and a ADSL/WAN/Cable port. Thus you can share out your existing Fixed line broadband too. To share out your 3G broadband, simply plug the USB stick into the USB port behind the device and you are done.

In addition, you can enable the high Speed wireless-N at home or office with Smart MIMO antennas. For better protection, you can also secure your Wifi network with advanced 64/128bti WEP, WPA/WPA2. For a small home office, you might want to share your network portable storage devices and printers using this device.
