Make your Android phone into a larger mobile hotspot by tethering your Android device to a Cradlepoint Router. Above is the HTC Incredible on Verizon’s 3G network. Connect the HTC Incredible into the Cradlepoint router (PHS300 shown). The Incredible will show the “connection” screen, then choose “Mobile Broadband Connect” and click “Done”.
The range, security and number of devices you’re able to connect to the internet gets greatly increased because of the Cradlepoint router. Tethering the device to a router includes the functionality of a router, larger Wi-Fi range and a longer battery life of your phone.
While CradlePoint has not officially added Android phones to our supported list of devices (don’t contact CradlePoint’s support folks because they will tell you it is not supported and will not be able to help you), as you can see it works and works well. Users can tether their Android phone to any number of Cradlepoint routers, including the PHS300, Cradlepoint CTR350 (Product replaced by CTR35), CTR500 and CBA750.
Users will need a data plan that supports tethering on their phone. You will also need the latest firmware for your router in order to tether your phone to the router. Android phones are still not on the list of devices supported by Cradlepoint routers. Quantum-Wireless.com has a complete selection of Cradlepoint routers, including the PHS300, CTR350 (Product replaced by CTR35), CTR500 and MBR1000.

Will this work with a nexus one on T-Mobile?
Do you know if any of these routers also work with the Motorola DROID A855?
Thanks
Yes, The Cradlepoint line of routers supports the Nexus One, Motorola Droid and most cell carriers.
Check Quantum-Wireless.com For a Complete list of Data and SIM Cards each Cradlepoint router connects to
Doesn't work on the Droid – just tried it. No Connection screen comes up.
It does not appear to (I have the phs300 with the latest firmware, and it just sits there with the phone light out when I try to tether the Nexus One (with Android 2.2.1 and Cyanogen 6).
The CTR500 worked great with my Krzr. Doesn’t work with my Samsung Epic even with the latest updates. Link to Quantum only lists devices that Cradlepoint lists, no Android devices.
