Just saw that the ZTE Mobley can be tethered directly to an asus router via USB cable. Apparently he is even powering the mobley off one of the usb ports on the router and tethering to another usb port.
A BIG thanks goes out to mossme89 for posting that tethering works with Linux.
Just checked and Mobley works perfect tethered via USB to ASUS $80 T-mobile branded router. I am actually powering the mobley off one USB and tethering to the other USB. So the ASUS router is fully powering the Mobley which is nice!
Literally just plug it in, set APN and DNS and done! All other info was already correct, as it auto detected the mobley.
