remember you need a 3g USB modem with builtin wifi hotspot, otherwise it may not work,
the reason why you need hotspot enabled 3g USB modem is, that PTCL router itself cannot install drivers and don’t have built in app to connect 3g USB to internet. it will only forward dialing command to USB modem and modem have to connect by itself.

Lets come to configuration guide.

1. Buy any wifi enabled 3g Modem from Market (mine was chinese brand HSPA+) cheapest i found.
2. connect it to USB port of PTCL router, if it doesn’t fit properly because routers design, then use USB extension cable as i used, you can see in the image below
