I didn't know the thing would do that! I'll print up your instructions and show to our Computer tech (my hubby). We have been setting up wireless routers forever, but not on any of the carriers. I didn't know they would! That's kinda cool. Except it probably won't work with USCC, but it's cool anyway.

Thanks man. I forwarded that on to the rest of my comrads. I mean we haven't sold one or been asked to set one up yet (we are in a non EVDO market) but good info none the less. Thanks!

Is this a device built for Sprint or just your standard Lynksys Wireles Router? I don't understand what the application is you are reffering to. Are you setting it up with a sprint wireless broadband card or is this a router built to work on the sprint network complete with ESN?

It's a Linksys router that is compatible with some of the Sprint PCMCIA cards, you buy the card and router seperately

Great, easy to follow instructions 😁 I think I will pass this on to some of our ATS n00bs
