I want to use Connectify hotspot to share a 3G USB dongle to share internet access with other devices. Will this work as an access point?

The Panda acts as an access point for the desktop computer in my wife's home office. It should work for any device as an access point instead of running a hard wire connection to the router.

Yes. You should be able to set up your computer as a WiFi repeater. Contact Panda Wireless if you have any question.

You should put your sim-card into this router, so it broadcasts internet through wifi. It can be used instead of USB-stick 3G modem and share internet for several devices. Locked device can be locked to some providers and work only with their sim-card, unlocked version is free of this restrictions.

It works as a hot spot for any device with Wifi capability. But you'll need to have Clearwire in your area.

Yes, you need a portable modem with an USB plug. Dongle is where this device goes.

No. You're talking about advanced networking drivers that need installation on a computer to work. You might be able to get an advanced firewall like a Sonicwall with a USB port for 3g modems, but I'm not familiar with your model of USB dongle, so YMMV.

If you set up the Cradlpoint to uplink via WiFi, it will work great. Understand that you will then use the MiFi to supply WiFi for your other wireless devices.

I have not tried that hotspot, but I use mine with a Clear iSpot and it works great. As long as the device has an internet connection, you should be able to use it without problems, however, it will definitely use up your bandwidth fast, especially if you are streaming HD. A true router would be fine to access your devices over the network as well.

I'm not sure, based on your question, that you understand how this product works. This product provided cell phone service in a location that does not get enough signal to be useful. It then back-hauls the calls over an internet connection. I'm not sure what the purpose of hooking this up to a 4g hotspot would be, since, if you already have an internet connection (required for this to function), there would be no point to having a 4g hotspot active, a sfar as I can see.

I see others have answered this - yes, you can use it as an access point or repeater. You can even set it up to bridge two WLANs.

I did not try to use it as a hotspot. I suppose if you had an externally powered USB hub, you could turn it on with the computer then turn the computer off. I used it in Kuwait and had to dial in with PW for my SIM to use it.

It is supposed to work as a hotspot as long as the unit is connected (wired) to 1 computer, other computers can connect if they are in close range (though I have not tested it out).

Yes I put the sim card out of my broken sierra 885 usb modem and plugged it into my laptop. It installed the connection agent and I was up and surfing. I also plugged in into my cradlepoint 3g/4g wireless router and it connected with no problems.

It is my understanding that it CAN be used as an access point, but you'd have to install Arch Linux and the necessary software. You'd also need a USB wi-fi dongle that operates under linux (they don't all work). So before you go down that road make sure that you have all of the parts that will work together --- and that the tine and effort (not to mention the costs) are worth it. As a hobby, OK. But to replace a $20 access point?

Yes! The wifi is setup as " local link" only, so is ONLY used for airplay. Your 3G connection is still used for Internet, so for example you can stream Pandora (via 3G) on your phone while sending it to airplay (via Wifi) while in your car. It's wonderful!

Yes it does work as an access point. But it is intended to be used as a bridge. Ie.. From one building to another.

I have to say if you want it for a notebook to connect to hotspots, it wil be recognized by win7 and will work. However I needed an access point mode, not only do you need the drivers for it, I only got it to work with their website's version of drivers, not the cd. Was a war let me tell you, 3 installs and reboots and nothing. Website version, worked the first time.

It is otg compatible. Its supposed to be able to get 3g with a 3g dongle, but i haven't bought one yet. Other than saving a few bucks i would just get a mobile hotspot, i.e. average 3g dongle about 60 bucks, average mobile hotspot device about 100 bucks depending on wireless provider. Most internet providers charge the same amount for data plans that are used on both type of devices. I don't know of its possible to connect/activate it on a providers network. P.s. If you do get a dongle, note that you will need a USB to micro USB adapter, which will run you 2-5 bucks on amazon depending if you order it from Hong Kong or locally. Stuff its always cheaper online both in price and actual product. Personal experience for wires or adapters is buy it at a local store, and buy in online as a last resort.
