Needs to be a 3g compatible router, like the Edimax below...

Edimax 3G-6200N nLite WiFi 3G Broadband Router: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

[opsmonkey]

You need to use a 3G router.. The sim card from the Broadband dongle goes into the router.. then you just connect the dreambox via WiFi as if it was a hardwired broadband router..

You need a router like the one below.. this is where the sim card goes into..

Zalip CDG561 3G Router - Zalip CDG561 is an embedded 3G HSPA WiFi Router with 4 x LAN Ports and 1 x WAN Port (http://www.3grouterstore.co.uk/3G/Zalip_CDG561_3G_Router.html)

Then you need to put a wifi dongle in the back of the D800 and it will connect to the router

EDIT...

Ha ha dave-h beat me too it..!!

hi mate im trying to set up a similar system in ireland
using 3 broadband and a repeater to improve speed
il get the router and bm500s once ive got the broadband up and running

my question is what broadband speed are ya getting with the dongle to run this system
as i have poor broadband reception and need to know before i splash out on the router and dm500s

cheers mate

[thewizardofodds]

I have just set this up today in the front room which is bottom of house and reception isnt that great to be honest and if i have it plugged in down here i normally need to put router on window to get decent speed. If its for the laptop I normally put it in the loft room on the window and connect using wifi.
Anyway with the box plugged into dream its no where near the window and i'm not getting any freezes or glitches and I'm using the lappy too via wifi.

I got a HTC desire phone, which you can make the phone into a router so can connect laptop etc and surf the net, i connected it to dm800 fine, can download epg and connect to addons manager and download stuff, but when it comes to watch a channel noting ?? laptop is fine can surf normal . wonder why it dont let me view channels, im on 02 ?

[red1]

I have a 3g-6200n edimax nlite 3g broadband router but the trick is to make sure that your dongle works with the router before you leave the shop, I have mine working in my mobile home in Youghal with a dm800hd with little trouble but I stick to the non-hd channels.

[bruce_ica]

It is possible but its very dependant on your location. Pretty much everything from the weather to what other people around you on the same network are doing.

Most 3G networks have a relatively small amount of bandwidth available to all users in a cell. If everybody in the cell is using data services then your response times can drop significantly (i've seen ping times of 6 seconds). Unfortunately, encouraging your friends/neighbours to connect up using the same method can have a detrimental effect on your own results !

These problems are generally why I suggest mobile dongles are not a particularly good solution for CS. They are mostly just too unpredictable.
