I installed it and yes it rebooted once but after that I had no problem hooking it up to a laptop. I did notice one thing. When you initially connect your laptop to joiku connection it looks connected but it really isn't. I had to disconnect and reconnect and boom it worked. Looks promising through a 3G connection. I could have used this when I went to a resort last month and they didnt have internet this would have done the trick on my laptop. I guess there are always future trips I now can look forward to. lol.
