I am getting this device for approx $52. I have a Huawei E122 modem which I would like to use with this.
Please tell me is this a good buy or are there any other similiar "all in ones" available in the market.

P.S.: I have a BSNL Broad Band connection and an Huawei E122 (BSNL 3G). I Share these internet connections with my Nokia N8, XBOX, Desktop PC and Laptop.
I have a ASUS 500GPV2 which I was not able to make work with my E122.

Pricing is pretty cheap, i think you will need to lookup for some reviews online on the same.

Seems good, but how you're going to order? What will be the approximate landing price including shipping?

 

[onlyravi]

$30 for shipping n $52 for device.

 

[prasanna29]

^Shipping directly from Alibaba? What will be the approximate price if there's a [GO], say 10 or 15 pieces.

pls refer the link for details in the OP.
I am still trying to tweak my ASUS 500gpv2 to support 3G modems. If I cant then I will buy this one.

OT: getting directly from alibaba is safe? I asked quote for a product and their sales rep sent a reply with a quotation!

^^ nvr tried but now i m on 2nd thoughts as not much response here.....

I have seen the same device on Aliexpress for about 50-60 USD incl shipping. So check Aliexpress as well and it is a better choice than directly purchasing from the seller as Aliexpress offers an eBay Paisapay like payment system.

Good price for a AIO n/w device.

I have still not given up on my Asus 500gpv2.... I too got a deal on alibaba.com with free shipping but holding my horses.

^ I would sugeest you make the purchase through Aliexpress even if its slightly expensive, as the payment is not made directly to the seller, rather through an escrow account.
