JiWire's Quick Take
Likes
Shares cell data connections with both wired and wireless clients, support for all major cell networks plus DSL/cable modem connections, easy setup, portable with auto adapter.
Dislikes
802.11b clients only, few firewall/routing features, WPA support and MAC address control not available yet, large and heavy box, expensive.
Good for
Mobile workgroups, RV vacationers or any business or family that frequently needs to share a broadband cell connection on the road.
Bad for
Those who don't need to share a connection often, or travel too little to justify the $599 price tag plus $80 per month cell contract.

PC Magazine "Allows sharing of cellular data connection without the need for driver/connection manager installations on clients. Extremely easy to set up and use. Broad support for most cellular modems."
CNET "Though we loved the JB-110b's ability to leverage cellular data connections -- it performed perfectly in our informal tests -- we wish Junxion had provided a bit better router functionality...the JB-110b's two 10/100 ports, plain old 802.11b, and porous WEP security seem quaint and not very future proof."
