Re: Need MOBILE Broadband Router

What you want is a client bridge.

Apple Airport Express <http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/> with a
small hub or switch.

Well, this looks promising, but I am not sure it quite does all I need.
I'm reading the Technology Overview document and on page 12 the section
titled "Wireless bridging" when it talks about using this as a bridge it
says:

"With wireless bridging, one AirPort Express Base Station can connect to
another AirPort Express Base Station or an AirPort Extreme Base Station
and use its Internet access."

My question, to be very specific: Can it act as a bridge when the
wireless ISP it is connecting to is not an "airport" device but some
other make/model/brand of community service transmitter?

I ask because the diagram shows it doing the opposite of what I need.

Once again the device has a _wired_ connection to the internet and
b'casts it out to wireless receivers. I need a device that receives a
wireless internet b'cast and pipes it to my wired network.

Can this device be used to receieve from community intenet b'casts and
be Cat5 cabled to a router to distribute the signal to my computers?

Is there a device that can do so and take an external antenna? I need
that capability.

Any info appreciated.
