Yesterday I received my oneSPOT and got it going using a ethernet connection. My goal is to connect my ZTE Z289L mobile hotspot device to the oneSPOT. Following a suggestion, I bought a TP-Link TL-MR3020 portable Wireless N router. Can anyone tell me how to connect these three devices so that I can use the ZTE to get into the Internet?

I have my openspot connected to a TP Link MR3040 to ethernet and power. It works great. I'm running the gargoyle fork of openwrt on the TP link and have it set to 'client bridge mode'. It's configured to connect to my phone's wifi tethering. I can then connect to the openSpot web ui from my phone, or another device connected to my phone's tethering. I've strapped the two together, and it takes about 45-60 seconds from when I flip the power switch on the TP Link (both devices turn on) to when I hear 'connected' on my FT-2D.

I have a MR3020 but I assume it is very similar to your MR3040. Both the openSPOT and MR3020 are all new to me so I need to know more about how to connect these, both in the physical connections and in the software required.
You mentioned the "gargoyle fork of openwrt on the TP link and have it set to 'client bridge mode'." Is "Openwork" a piece of stand-alone software and if so, where can I get it? I printed out the TP-Link User Guide (all 247 pages of it) and it is overwhelming.
Can you give me a little more info to guide me in this endeavor?
Thanks.
