Good news about Netgear 341U 3G/4G modem support, as it can be more easily found in Russia, than Sierra Wireless AirCard or Franklin U602.

If you have an XTM 22 does that mean its vulnerable and you need to purchase a different model or that the issue isn’t exploitable in these models?

I assume you are referring to the OpenSSL Heartbleed flaw. See these posts for more detail:
http://watchguardsecuritycenter.com/2014/04/09/11-8-3-update-1-now-available-to-fix-heartbleed-vulnerabilty-in-fireware-xtm-os/
http://watchguardsecuritycenter.com/2014/04/08/the-heartbleed-openssl-vulnerability-patch-openssl-asap/
In short, XTM 22 can only run 11.7.x firmwares and below. Only our 11.8.x firmwares used the vulnerable OpenSSL package, so if you are using 11.7.x and below you are NOT vulnerable to the heartbleed issue.
