Anyone know what router I can use a Pantech UML 290 Verizon modem?

Cradlepoint, Pepwave, and WiFiRanger routers will work with the UML290. I use a UML290 with a Cradlepoint MBR95 in my cottage, and a Pepwave Surf Mini On-The-Go in the coach with my Millenicom/Verizon data plan.

I always had good luck with the cradlepoint router and a Verizon Air Card in my working days. Then when the Verizon MIFI units became popular a few years back I switched to that...I like the Verizon MIFI unit as it has internal batteries that will run four hours and will operate up to five WIFI devices at the same time. I can drop the MIFI unit in my shirt pocket and go sit down at the beach with all my toys with us...Inside my trailer I have the MIFI unit sitting in a wilson Sleek cradle that has outside antenna connection. This is my normal docking station for the MIFI unit and is plugged into 120VAC inside my trailer. Roy Ken

I am currently using that card with a Cradlepoint MBR95 and it works great. As an added benefit the MBR95 also does WiFi as WAN allowing me to connect to an open WiFi network when available allowing me to save valuable MB's. We are currently sitting at the Phoenix RV park in Salem, OR connected to their free WiFi and using our computers and printer just as we would if we were on cellular. If their network went down the air card would pick up the connection automatically and when the WiFi service was restored it would switch back again.Very simple to use and a great data saver as well. This is how I do updates when a large download is required so I don't go over my cellular limits.

We use the Cradlepoint 1400 but for most people the MBR 95 will work as well. Both support Wifi as WAN so they can be used with a USB modem like you mentioned and also used with a mifi device. Cradlepoint provides ongoing support with firmware updates for newly released modems and their modems provide important configuration options.The MBR 1400 we use has a data usage monitoring capability that we need as we use Verizon through Millenicom and have no other way to know at any given point in time how much our usage has been. We had 6 hours notice we had exceeded the cap with Verizon and we were shut down for the remainder of the billing cycle. Now we use the 1400 and it sends us an alert when usage is at 75% of our cap (user configurable as to the billing period, cap, and alert set point). Cradlepoint makes the best routers for use with cellular data modems. You only need to decide between the MBR95 and the MBR1400 routers.

This capabiliy is not unique to any one brand.
