I do have the orange router, have never considered it but I believe it should be possible. Everything Operator related is in the modem, the router is just an Orange branded wireless AP. On Sat, Oct 19, 2013 at 11:52 AM, Adam Nelson <adam@varud.com> wrote:
Good suggestions. I already have the Orange dongle so will just get the D-Link wireless router and plug it in there. Can the Safaricom dongle be plugged into the D-Link too so I can switch back and forth if necessary?
I was just wondering if anybody had obvious problems with one of the three mobile providers along Ngong rd but I imagine that all three are about the same in that area.
The coworking spaces have fine Internet for periods of time but then it entirely drops out. The variability is what's frustrating. I'd rather have a consistent 1Mb connection than oscillating between 128Kb and 5Mb and totally down with 1,000ms latencies.

Since people talk so well about Orange unlimited, why don't you try it out with a DIR-412? Getting an Huawei E-160 is 2k, plus about 4k for the DIR-412. That combo is good for I think 10/20 people - router's limitation.
When you say the best 3G Wireless AP solution along Ngong Rd, I am a bit lost though.... Safaricom/Airtel/Orange all work for me - on Naivasha Rd though.
Wait, I thought 88mph had excellent fiber connectivity, with AK failover.

As some of you know, I'm now in a different office and the Internet is even worse here than old place :-/
Anybody have a suggestion for the best 3G wireless access point solution along Ngong Rd?
