[arm-allstar] USB Cell Modems

[Douglas Goree]

I'm not sure if this will work for you but it's just an idea. Get a
cellulare wifi modem. Get a
GL.iNet GL-MT300N-V2(Mango) Portable Mini Travel Wireless Pocket VPN Router
- WiFi Router/Access Point/Extender/WDS | OpenWrt | 2 x Ethernet Ports |
OpenVPN/Wireguard VPN | USB 2.0 Port | 128MB RAM. Go to hamvoip.org and
down close to bottom of the page click on "How to build an Allstar portable
node" and then on that page go to where it shows the node connected to the
router, just above software, and you will see a ZyXel router connected to
the node. This is where you click on the black point dot ZyXel router and
it will take you to Amazon. In the center of the page is the yellow router
mentioned above. You can power the modem and router with 2 usb ports and
wifi. If you need more info I'll do what I can to help. KM4VPG my email is
good on QRZ. I hope this helps at least a little bit.
