I want to make this solution - use home router(

connection from 3g umts modem( vodafone k 3765-z ) ) for 15+pc .
Therefore,i have a couple of questions:
1.Can this router do this(without lags) ?
2. (If 1) not,which router you can advice?
3.If it possible, tell me some real life results of using openwrt in this
case?
I've built two boxes with a similar configuration, using the Asus WL500gP
hardware. The first was built with an early OpenWRT Kamikaze release,
mostly following various web howtos I found from a google search on 'DIY
stompbox'. It used a Verizon USB modem.
The second was built with an X-wrt image, and also a Verizon USB modem.
With the X-wrt front-end, I was able to do the entire configuration from
the web GUI.
These two boxes were used in a home LAN environment, with only 2 or
possibly 3 PCs connected. With 15 connected PCs, I think the bandwidth of
the EVDO modem will be strained before the limits of the hardware or
OpenWRT are reached.
I also made a later attempt to configure another box using a newer USB
modem model, and I ran into a stumbling block that I never worked thru.
The newer modem supported a 'plug-n-play' feature, where when first
plugged in, it presents itself to the host as an external storage device.
Only after the host issues an 'eject' command to the drive, does it then
re-present itself as a serial modem device. Probably can be worked around
with a simple script, but I didn't take the time to write one...
