I bought one of these : totocity Chinese Handy Wi-Fi Wireless Router 150M Wifi Wi-Fi for USB 3G LAN WAN Converter with the idea of creating a MIFI wireless network to use with my tablet.
To be honest I thought it had a 3G modem, but in fact it can only make use of one via USB - never mind I have a ZTE modem and it looks like a fun device.

Step 1
"I wouldn't call this a router for the average home user."I replaced the Chinese interface with open-wrt see instructions at Installing OpenWrt on the TL-WR703N not too hard really.
Step 2
Getting the modem to work..
install packages :
- kmod-usb2,
- kmod-usb-option,
- comgt,
- usb-modeswitch,
- usb-modeswitch-data
