Being Mango never replied to my question about this, I'll ask it here.
The KR 1 Mobile Router has a USB port, can I use my Sprint Compass™ 597 by Sierra Wireless ? I don't have a PCMCIA NIC, and I currently use my bedroom PC and share it's network connection and route my wireless devices through my current Linksys, but the KR1 sounds like it would be a better solution.
Anyone? Mango? (I got this from YOUR site :) )

Yes, Geoff, you should be able to use that wireless card in the KR-1 router. Which ever wireless card you go with, it has to work physically in the router you have.
In other words if your router has a PCMCIA slot, but your card only fits a USB port, they won't work together.
Is that clear as mud now? :confused: :)
I have that router, and I use the Verizon USB port card, because then I can use it either in the USB Slot in my laptop directly, or plug it into my Router and have wireless access all over the bus and patio.

This site has a LOT of info that should help you:

If you have not bought the KR-1 yet, look at the MBR-1000. I hav ethat installed in my bus using Verizon USB Evdo and it works great.
Checck this link:

It shows the devices compatibe with the KR2, they no longer show the KR1.
Geoff,
Sorry for the lack of response. My best recollection is that there is no USB port for the air card, just the PCMCIA slot. I'm not familiar with the KR2.

OMG, do I have a LOT of research to do, now to find the best one for my application. Sometimes, it sucks having options. :)
Decided on the MBR-1000 with the booster antenna, we'll see how it goes. It would be awesome if I could also plug in my MagicJack into the router too!
Yankee802 we love our MBR100. We have a Verizon Express card for US and Rogers Express card for Canada. The router works great. We are installing a booster antenna in our current renovations. Contact www3Gstore.com they are great guys and the tech support is outstanding.
I received my MBR100 a couple days ago and couldn't be happier. (thank you Andre and Lloyd) Now, primarily I use my Sprint Compass 597, and it's ok. However I can also use (in conjunction or seperatly) my AT&T Tilt, and I get DOUBLE the bandwidth. (AT&T is double Sprint, if I use them in conjunction, I get 3 times my original speed) I just tether my HTC PPC Tilt and run ICS (internet connection sharing), and you can see it in the admin page of the router. I have unlimited bandwidth with both providers, but I just connect my PPC for when I want to stream video, being it supplies the faster connection. How sweet it is! :)
As someone who knows nothing of modern science the above post might just as well have been written in Greek, or was it???
