HSPA+ 21Mbps Wi-Fi Router - 3G21W 21.6Mbps downlink 5.76Mbps uplink

Telstra BigPond Elite Wireless Network Gateway (3G21WB)
Designed to keep up with the world’s fastest networks, this HSPA+ device is capable of downlink speeds of up to 21Mbps making it the fastest 3G router of its kind. With wireless N, this device also provides multiple wireless devices with local wireless speeds of up to 300Mbps. Its stylish vertical design incorporates a unique cable management design hiding up to 5 cables.

Manufactured by NetComm, the Telstra BigPond Elite Wireless Network Gateway (3G21WB) is a much nicer looking device than the previous model. Gone are the protruding antennas and the flat, box-shaped design. The new Elite Wireless Network Gateway is sleek, slim and sits upright thanks to a small silver stand. This means its ideal for those with limited desk space. The modem feels a little flimsy; the plastic creaks when pressed and the rear cover awkwardly clips in and out of place.

The front of the Telstra BigPond Elite Wireless Network Gateway features 12 blue LEDs. They let you see signal strength, 3G, LAN activity, Internet connection and Wi-Fi status, and power at a glance.

The Telstra BigPond Elite Wireless Network Gateway includes four 10/100Mbps Ethernet ports, two USB ports, a SIM card slot and an optional antenna connector for wireless reception. The USB ports allow printers or hard drives to be shared over a network, while the four Ethernet ports can connect directly to a PC or other network-capable device. The USB ports are conveniently located on the side of the device, so there's no need to remove the rear cover.
