I posted this over in EVDOForums but the Bavo thread looks inactive.
I'm far from a networking expert but I have a need to set up a low cost wired LAN hub/router (with print server), that can get a broadband connection from either our WiFi hotspot or from a EVDO broadband card. Laptops will be wired ethernet.
Can the 802.11 section of the Bavo be configured in "Client Mode" or, can a wireless ethernet bridge (or client-mode configured router) be fed into the Bavo's WAN port?
The Bavo would be ideal if I could configure the WiFi section as client mode, connect to the WiFi hotspot, and share the broadband on its LAN ports. Then when no wifi is available, switch to the EVDO card in the Bavo.
If it cannot be configured in client mode, could I still feed it's WAN port with an Ethernet bridge or a client mode configured router, and switch to the EVDO card when needed?
Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated.
