The E5832 is a very handy little device indeed - one of the first battery-powered 3G wireless routers on the market.

Taking a SIM card and providing 3G data service at up to 7.2Mbps, the device is also a WiFi access point, meaning that you can share the 3G connection between multiple WiFi enabled clients. Whilst these devices have been available for a while now, this device is battery-powered and measures only 93mm x 48mm!
Featuring a microSD card slot it can also be used as a USB file store.
When connected to a PC or Mac via the supplied USB cable, it can also be used as a USB 3G dongle modem.

Set the APN field to Static and enter in the appropriate Access Point Name for your network operator:

Vodafone - internet
Orange - orangeinternet
O2 - mobile.o2.co.uk
T-Mobile - general.t-mobile.uk
