Cheap $20 a month Stand Alone Unlimited Rural Internet through AT&T Wireless

[sd455dan]

After my question about the router speed - and answer, Will forego the router for now.

Ordered a small 9db antenna and connector.
Will post a report on back to back download/ upload speeds... Probably won't make a difference...
Still contemplating building a home-brew Yagi antenna.

Still can't complain about download speeds, plenty to stream You tube and TV from the dish all device deal.

I assume any openWRT router will work if it had a USB port. I don't care for openWRT (so I learned), but it's working easy and out of the box. I'll take it as a win and move on.

Out of curiosity what don't you like about it?
Have you tried another firmware like Tomato?

I've used ddwrt, years ago.
I just think the UI is bad or maybe even buggy. Not bad enough to muck with it or anything that serious. Like I said, it works easy and works well.

Ah, OpenWrt is a different animal from ddwrt and while Tomato is almost the same under the hood, it has an excellent interface (better than OpenWrt IMO).

Could be. Not worth​ the effort, at this point. One thing I'd like is dhcp reservations, for instance. Oh well...

Both OpenWrt and Tomato offer that, not sure on ddwrt as I dont use it.

I couldn't find it on my openWRT. My ddwrt is ancient history. I'll look again.

Best buy in Saginaw appears to have Mobleys again. I bought a couple, in hopes they can be transferred to a different store. Might have to cancel it though.

I have placed in Best Buy cart but it won't let me check out and pay. Says for store pickup only and when I enter zip it says not available.
