a mifi modem and a 3g modem are two different products

3G modem has a much simpler structure and will simply connect to the 3G network, and feed internet through its USB port, hence routers can absorb this internet feed and share it via wifi + ethernet ports.

mifi modem has everything built in including wifi AP, something like a mini router.

it will have firmware to control everything from connection to internet sharing, and might not facilitate communicating with another external router

you can still attempt to extend this wifi network with the asus router via WDS

gl!

yeap, a simple 3G modem + the asus router will become one giant mifi modem (in a sense)

Huawei rules the roost when it comes to 3G modems, Asus simply complement them by including 3g support on their routers

Ask Maxis if they are able to downgrade the mifi to a 3g modem

something like this
