The perfect router for your car - Battery Powered

Mobilize your broadband potential!
The Dovado GO is a 4G-optimized USB Router which allows you to insert your 4G/LTE or 3G mobile broadband USB modem and share out your Internet connection with ease, wherever you are! The router provides a fast and reliable round-the-clock connection, as one would experience with fixed broadband.

Always on & Everywhere!
Experience the highest connection uptime with the SmartUSBTM port; re-powering the USB modem at first sign of trouble. The Dovado GO will provide you a reliable backup thanks to its battery, running smoothly for several hours in case of any unexpected power failures. An SMS notification will arrive to your phone whenever such an incident occurs. You can also use the router outside your home or office, when on foot or in a moving vehicle.

Connectivity
The Dovado GO offers an Ethernet LAN port, an Ethernet WAN port as well as an embedded 802.11n 150 Mbps WiFi antenna for local wireless connectivity. From here, your router will connect to mobile broadband and provide all the clients in your network with the fastest possible Internet access. You can also instruct the Dovado GO via SMS to execute certain tasks such as a full restart of the device, connect/disconnect the Internet, as well as check the overall status.* Aside from the regular Routed Mode, the Dovado GO can also operate in Bridged Mode (NAT disabled), allowing you to quickly achieve your desired network scenario.

CAR Charger can be Purchased Separately !!!

    So it's like a TP-Link WR702n (or whatever the current model is) with a battery and extra ethernet port for four times the price?

    • mathew42 on 11/03/2014 - 20:33

      To be fair it does sound a little more advanced with the SMS interaction. But I agree with your sentiment.

    • CyberGenesys on 11/03/2014 - 21:03

      I should also add, the TP-Link has a lot of third party support (open-wrt for example), as well as the hardware hacks community. This Dovado seems to have very little, I could only find one other place that even sells it (for $105.60 as well). Comparing the prices of myithub with PCCG (using Billion routers as examples) showed them to be between $10-30 more expensive. I suspect the normal price of the Dovado might actually be closer $100, but I really have no experience with these sort of devices (except the WR702n).

        Your above linked device doesnt drive a 4G USB modem WAN side… so your comparison is flawed from the outset.

        The supplied USB port is predominately for powering the device. The Dovodo will drive a 4G USB modem via the USB port, allowing a 4G USB modem connectivity via ethernet…. not possible on pretty much every single wireless 4g USB modem sold in Australia today due to their small footprint.

        Check out whirlpool forums for more info, as I think you're missing the good bits to this device. Dovodo is very popular with 4g setups there.

          I said 'like' and 'current model', don't take it so literally. It seems the correct tplink model I should have referred to was the mr3020 ($30) which supports 4g USB modems and specifically your sierra wireless modem (320u?). It is still not an identical comparison (as it is single Ethernet and no battery) but what I don't understand is why this doravo device is so relatively expensive. When it seems that the differences between the Tplink device and this dorvado device seem to be primarily software based.

        • UFO on 12/03/2014 - 11:58

          Thanks for link… didnt know they had a device that supports 4G, must be very new because I was looking for something like this about 4 months ago.

          Dovodo was only one on market…. and probably the reason it was so expensive (and I didnt buy it!). But even at $150, they were selling well because there's a lot of online support for them.

          Once something has a battery it becomes so much more portable… and expensive.
          I'm less concerned about a battery in this type of device to be honest, because if I need to connect a device via ethernet, chances are there's a powerpoint nearby too.

          Thanks again for link, I'll look into the new one you've linked… looks promising.

          Edited: Damn. Unfortunately your linked model only shows support for 20 odd modems. The Dovodo looks like it supports far more. Probably due to how long each of them has been on the market, but still a factor.

        • CyberGenesys on 12/03/2014 - 12:50

          Only 20 odd modems support may be an issue for some, but most people only need it to support one :P

          WR3040 has been around for a long time (at least 2012 from what I've read).

          The TP-Link MR3020 supports OpenWRT so it can have much larger modem support.
          http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-mr3020

          OEM firmware supports a certain range of 3G/4G modems to be externally connected to USB because it contains drivers for those USB modems! Ignore that, because with OpenWrt ANY router with USB supports 3G/4G hardware

    At product that overpriced usually has a picture of a fruit on it.

  • TurkishDelight on 11/03/2014 - 21:08

    so is it a wifi modem which i can carry anywhere?? and i need 4g/3g prepaid sim card to use internet…TRUE?

    • stebie on 11/03/2014 - 23:19

      It doesn't have a modem built in. You have to provide one, as per the OP.

      "The Dovado GO is a 4G-optimized USB Router which allows you to insert your 4G/LTE or 3G mobile broadband USB modem and share out your Internet connection with ease, wherever you are!"

      You must use a compatible USB modem with this device.

    I have one of these. Except mine's called a phone - and it makes calls too!

      your phone has a ethernet port?

    People need to educate themselves before commenting on a device they dont understand.

    This is one of only two devices available in the Australian market that is fully compatible with a Sierra Wireless 4G Ultimate modem (ie the 4g USB Telstra Modem/Router).

    Oh, and the only other device that'll work with this particular modem is a Sierra Wireless dock that is never available and notoriously unrealible.

    So, if you happen to own this 4g modem from Telstra (which I do), or any other 4g wireless modem, and you want ethernet connectivity to devices that dont have wifi, this is YOUR ONLY OPTION… and at this price is a deadset bargin.

    The TP-Link router linked above is most definitely not an equivilent item, because its NOT compatible with half the 4g USB modems this one is.

    NetComm also claim to have an ethernet router compatible with USB modems, but guess what… its not compatible with one the most popular USB 4G modems out there.

    Also, since I'm in a frying mood… you got rocks in your head if you think a 4g mobile phone is a good replacement for a proper 4g data modem that'll reliably transmit large data amounts to different devices and over a sustained period. Good luck with that not overheating and crapping itself in the near future.

    As most 4g modems are USB these days, and due to their small size DONT have ethernet ports as standard, you most definitely require a device such as this if you want a hard dock and a portable device all in one.

    I was with Internode for many years and very happy, but then I saw the light and went 4g wireless.
    I get download speeds and low pings that I could only dream about on a hardline.

    So… long story short (apologies for the novel), dont knock a good product just because you dont understand its market.

    Yes, this is a unique product in the market that most people wont require. But if you want ethernet connectivity on a USB modem you already own, but also want portability when you want it… this IS the product to buy.

    Thanks for the post OP… I've been waiting for this badboy to come on sale!!!

    • Merlict on 12/03/2014 - 00:42

      Just out of interest, what 4G 'ISP' are you with now? It's certainly pretty appealing if you move a lot or have a crap line

      • UFO on 12/03/2014 - 00:48

        As much as I hate to say it, Telstra.

        But for 4g performance, they are the best.
        They are the devil and are very expensive, but for raw performance that I can take with me everywhere…. they are king.

        But when you factor in that I no longer pay line rental, and when moving about I take my 4g with me, its something I couldnt live without now.

        • Merlict on 12/03/2014 - 01:02

          Thanks. Bit pricy for me but it'll only come down.

        • UFO on 12/03/2014 - 01:04

          Just make sure you compare all costs.

          Line rental, in conjunction with connection fees and relocation (if you happen to rent and may move around a bit), and all of a sudden its not as pricey as a landline…. and a hell of lot less headache!

    • Traveller on 12/03/2014 - 09:16

      I have the netcomm router (m2) with the bigpond 320U 4G modem running as my main internet connection and have done for a over a year and it works well. The router is powered over USB so can run it in car/caravan using a standard 12v USB charger and cable. It also means it can run from my ALDI USB power bank for extended run time. It does not have a built in battery but I see little need for it with cheap USB power banks available that can charge your other USB devices at the same time. I am sure the router in this post has more features, but I just wanted to say that my experience with the netcomm device has been good. I bought it from a Telstra store.

      • UFO on 12/03/2014 - 12:03

        Thats exactly how I want to use the device… on holidays with legacy devices requiring ethernet!

        But unfortunately I have the Sierra Wireless 760s USB 4G modem from Telstra.
        I bought a NetComm NF5 gigabit router because it 'supports 4g modems", but doesnt it doesnt support my one :(. It's now collecting dust in my study, and I've learned my lesson to not just read the box marketing telling me Sierra Wireless is ok, but to go to the website and download the actual list confirming it.

        Yeah I have sour grapes, but only because their after sales customer service is balls ;).
