Combined Modem Wireless router? Does this exist
I work for a non-profit agency that does home energy audits. We work in rural areas but would like internet access from our clients homes. Because we are in rural areas 3g is out of the question.
However, dial up internet works and because there is no cell phone reception our clients have land lines.
I want our crew people to be able to connect to the internet via an external modem and a wireless router.
Is there an external modem that has the ability to program in access phone numbers, usernames, and passwords?
Is there a wireless router that could dial up an access phone numbers, usernames, and passwords so we would not need a modem and router?
Any ideas,
JOe K.

Would this Vigor2910 Series Dual WAN Security Router from Draytek be able to connect to a 56Kbs connection?

This looks like what I am after. It would be great if I can put a username, password to dial an access number on a 56Kbs connection.

That nebo looks intriguing but it doesn't look like it would work for what I am after.
The netbooks don't have modems.
I want a Modem (that can autodial access number with username and password) combined with a wireless router so I can connect to the modem via the netbook.

Do you want to login to the router via modem?
Or does the router call an internet provider?

Well, here are some models, but I'm having trouble finding anyone who is still selling them:

Common Vigor Codes
V = Voice over IP
G = WLAN
i = ISDN fall back --> means, it has to be an IDSN line
The 2910 series supporting external USB devices, mainly intended for 3G modems. I'm not sure, if this port also supports a normal telefone modem.

There may be another avenue for you to try. Use an ordinary 56K external modem (needs to be plugged into AC). Then use a USB to Serial adapter cable and plug the USB end into your Netbook. I am assuming of course it has USB capability, but it may not. .... T
Sounds to me like you just need a usb external modem.

I want to have a connection to dial up internet via the clients phone line and then set up a wireless router to the modem that is connecting via their phone line.
This would allow our workers can connect to the wireless router with their netbooks in the clients home.
The most realistic set up would be Modem Connected to DialUp via clients home phone line >> Wireless Router Connected to Modem >> Netbook connected to Wireless router.
The most ideal set up would be Modem/Wireless router Combo connected to Dialup >> Netbook connected to Modem/Wireless router combo.
