I have been using a wifi adapter with my BSNL EVDO to share wifi signals with the help of mhotspot software but in this scorching heat i have to keep my PC on to use wifi so now i want a router which is compatable with EVDO and have some sort of battery backup

what i need
- compatible router with bsnl evdo (ZTE AC8700) old model without a sim slot
- evdo will go to router and lan will be used to surf internet on PC (very very important .... cant lose connectivity to my main PC)
- few smartphones/netbook that will use wifi
- battery back will be preferred (i wont charge any thing but it should be able to give some backup to evdo ... not mandatory though)
- range for 3 rooms
 
TPLink - MR3020 + OpenWRT : Rocksolid

I use recipe as following:
a. Powered USB Hub
b. Power OpenWRT directly from Hub.
c. Connect USB hub to OpenWRT
d. Add a USB disk
e. Use whatever dongle you wish to use : 3G/EVDO.

Possibilities: Limitless, includes torrenting.

can you explain how many walls max there will be between your router and the client.

3 rooms ? does that means 2 walls or more.

1 wall can be handled, 2 walls becomes harder if they are 11 inch walls rather than 6 inch ones.
