looking for cheapest internet option in Toronto. I have a dreamlink Hd, really i want the internet to view a few pages but want it also to use it to work my Dreamlink for NFPS. I don't want to spend big dollars on internet since I sit at a desk all day. i thought about wind mobile internet stick for $15 or and allow my DDwrt router to feed off the connection or changing my cell phone plan and add data would this work, let the DDWrt router feed off Iphone or android.

No way to connect the router to your cell phone . But with the mobile stick you can enable internet connection sharing on the pc/laptop and connect the receiver to it .

Both the tablet and phone are made by apple - they provide tethering software on both ends . Try hooking up your tablet to a nokia phone .

so if i got a data plan for my phone, i could not set up the DDWrt router to pick up signal from phone? or would that not make sense.

wep is a wireless encryption. easily broken. most people who have it wont even know your their. do some research on BackTrack
you can hook your router up to your phone. turn your router into a repeater and turn the hotspot on your phone.
is thier a USB port on your router?

Some routers have a USB port for the purpose of connecting a mobile internet stick. Keep in mind that some routers that have USB ports on them don't support the sticks, they're just used to share a printer or external hard drive.
Definitely look into TekSavvy DSL, they've got two plans under $30/mo, and you'll probably find that a DSL connection will be cheaper than a cellular data plan.
