3G Wifi Router

I would like to know if there is a way you can convert your 3G (from a usb 3G modem) to WiFi for your house?

Is there such routers and is it posssible?

Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.16.132.219 (talk) 17:10, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

:Lots of routers have USB ports on them for WAN failover to 3G, most Drayteks do this for instance. Nanonic (talk) 17:19, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

:There are routers that support converting a 3G signal into a WiFi signal — e.g. [http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003VX1H82/ this one] or [http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Mobile-Broadband-Router-Black/dp/B001LYSVE6/ this one]. The magic search terms seem to be "3G router Wifi". --Mr.98 (talk) 17:35, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
