The Dovado TINY

The Dovado TINY Router [rear view]

The Dovado TINY mobile broadband router

The TINY was launched by Dovado in 2011. Like its predecessors in the Dovado family (the 4GR, 3GN and UMR), the Dovado TINY provides a simple and stable way of sharing the internet connection from a mobile broadband USB modem via standard ethernet and wireless networking. It is Dovado's most compact solution with 1 USB port, 1 LAN port and 1 WAN port. The USB circuitry offers a SmartUSB feature for the first time, which means that the Connection Tracker can now switch a non-connecting modem off and on again to restore a dropped connection. Dovado have returned to a detachable antenna, last seen in their UMR so that a stronger antenna can be used to boost the coverage in your building.

Flexible and future-proof

  • Connects to mobile broadband (2G, 3G and 4G/LTE) via USB modem
  • Supports over 100 3G/HSPA+ USB modems with speeds up to 42Mbps modems and is pioneering support for the next generation of 4G/LTE modems

IMPORTANT: ensure you have a satisfactory 3G service before buying

Mobile broadband coverage is (and always will be) extremely variable. So please ensure you have a satisfactory 3G service from your chosen provider in your intended location before purchasing your Dovado TINY. We strongly recommend that customers:

  1. already possess a working USB modem (billpay or prepay) and
  2. are satisfied with the speed of their existing mobile broadband service

Check that your USB modem is supported by the Dovado TINY

There is a list of supported modems at http://www.dovado.com/modems.

What's in the box?

  1. the Dovado TINY
  2. an Ireland/UK-compatible power supply
  3. a reference manual / quick setup guide (check online for updated reference manual)
  4. a USB extension / modem stand for your modem

If time permits we will upgrade your router with the lastest firmware. A USB modem is NOT included!

Initial configuration - Access Point Names

When you get your Dovado TINY, simply insert your USB modem into the USB port on the front and power up the router. Follow the instructions in the User Guide booklet to gain access to the configuration screen from a web browser. The configuration is platform-independent - you can run the initial configuration wizard from Windows, MacOS, Linux or even a wireless-enabled mobile phone or iPod touch.

The only difficult information required by the configuration wizard is the Access Point Name (APN) for your USB modem. In Ireland, the following APNs are in use:

  • 02 - open.internet
  • Three - 3ireland.ie (billpay)
  • Three - 3internet (prepay)
  • Meteor - isp.mymeteor.ie
  • Vodafone - hs.vodafone.ie
  • Vodafone - internet

Ultimately you can discover the correct Access Point Name by viewing the default profile provided with the software that comes pre-installed on the USB modem.
