The 3GN is a new cheaper 3G router from Dovado offering the same mobile broadband reliability and functionality as the UMR but without the detachable antenna and extra USB port (for home automation, GPS and older modems that need extra current via a 'Y' USB cable). The 3GN offers faster WiFi with the 802.11n protocol giving typical local transfer speeds of 150Mbps. The price of the Dovado 3GN is €108 including VAT and delivery within Ireland. More info about the 3GN.

IMPORTANT: ensure you have a satisfactory 3G service before buying

Mobile broadband coverage is (and always will be) extremely variable. So please ensure you have a satisfactory 3G service from your chosen provider in your intended location before purchasing your Dovado UMR. We strongly recommend that customers:

1. already possess a working USB modem (billpay or prepay) and
2. are satisfied with the speed of their existing mobile broadband service

Check that your USB modem is supported by the Dovado UMR

There is a list of supported modems at http://www.dovado.com/umrmodems. The Irish mobile operators are constantly introducing new USB modems, but one of the things that sets the Dovado 3G routers apart from others on the market is how quickly Dovado can add support for new modems. Commsoft has been pro-active to ensure that all the modems available to Irish mobile broadband users are supported by Dovado. For instance, the Dovado UMR was the first 3G router (and in some cases the only 3G router) to support the Sierra Compass 888, Sierra Wireless 302, Huawei E1752 and Vodafone K3765.

What's in the box?

1. the Dovado UMR
2. an Ireland/UK-compatible power supply
3. a reference manual / quick setup guide (check online for updated reference manual)
4. a 4dBi detachable antenna (SMA)
5. four little rubber feet

If time permits we will upgrade your router with the lastest firmware. A USB modem is NOT included!

Initial configuration - Access Point Names

When you get your Dovado UMR, simply insert your USB modem into either USB port on the UMR and power up the router. Follow the instructions in the User Guide booklet to gain access to the configuration screen from a web browser. The configuration is platform-independent - you can run the initial configuration wizard from Windows, MacOS, Linux or even a wireless-enabled mobile phone or iPod touch.

The only difficult information required by the configuration wizard is the Access Point Name (APN) for your USB modem. In Ireland, the following APNs are in use:

• 02 - open.internet
• Three - 3ireland.ie (billpay)
• Three - 3internet (prepay)
• Meteor - isp.mymeteor.ie
• Vodafone - hs.vodafone.ie
• Vodafone - internet

Ultimately you can discover the correct Access Point Name by viewing the default profile provided with the software that comes pre-installed on the USB modem.
