    Price: $166.30 (Save: $32.70)

    When we first reviewed the Edimax 3G-6210n portable 3G router, we thought it was a little expensive. However, you can now pick it from [[http://www.techbuy.com.au/p/135413/NETWORK_WIRELESS_ROUTERS/Edimax/3G-6210n.asp|Techbuy|Web site: Techbuy]] for $166.30, which is a much sweeter price. With this router, you can plug in a USB-based 3G modem (the modem is not built-in) and share its connection over Wi-Fi. It's handy for travelling and as a fallback in case your main Internet connection goes down.
