Broadband Aircard

[dan t]

Does any one know any thing about them?
I live out of the city, so I want to get faster speed than dialup.
I picked up the one put out by Sprint.
When it is in the roaming mode It is really fast!
But if it is in the normal mode it is slower than my dialup, I only use this at home. Is there a way to lock it in to roaming?
And does any one know if I can use a router with the Aircard?
Need HELP !!!!
Thanks dan t

dan t:

I have VerizonWireless aircard. It is faster than dial up, bit not as fast as cable. I have found no difference in speed between local and roaming networks; however, nearly everywhere I have been (Hawaii, Ohio, Florida, New York, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Maryland, California, Utah, Colorado, Iowa) I have had no problems with getting a VerizonWireless connection.

I used to have a Cingular aircard. Cigular turned into AT&T - under either name, it was junk. While very slightly faster I found very limited coverage compared to VerizonWireless.

The advantage for me in the aircard is being able to use it everywhere in the U.S.

I don't know about use with routers

I was going to go with Verizon but they have a cap that if you go over it cost extra per month.
And we went with the sprint because we have nextel cell service with the sprint aircard there is no cap on how much you use it.
My son is a big time gamer so he will be on it more than I am.
We have solved the roaming problem, where we live it gets a stronger signal when in that mode and works well.
Now all we need to find out is if we can get a router so we both can use it at the same time.
Thanks.

I'll give them a call and see if they carry the Router for the air card.

Less than 2 weeks ago, we went with Embarq for DSL. Selected their slowest 764 kB service at $19.95/mo. It's fantastic! I can view movies; my sound has come back; everything is faster on my computer.

I installed a wireless router on my computer, Netgear. On my wife's computer, I installed a Belkin receiver. She can access the DSL on my machine. I switched her e-mail to Outlook Express and took out an Embarqmail account for her. She now has instant e-mail same as I have. Can still get our old Juno e-mail via Outlook Express.

Life is great!

Most routers either wireless or hardwired or both use RJ45 NIC and a CAT5 cable as an input from your cable or dsl modem.

I don't believe the air cards have any outputs to other than the system buss.

Here is what you need and was just released to solve just what your talking about if your laptop and or desk top has wireless WiFi.

If this is of any help in getting both of you connected with your new air card.

unitednudist,

"dan t" has already selected the Sprint air card and is concerned with a router or sharing this air card with his son.

The just released "Cradlepoint PHS300 Battery-Powered EVDO / HSDPA Router seems to be a way to share this cell EVDO connection wireless via a WiFi connection if using one of the new USB AIR CARDS.

Being battery powered, one could use this device while traveling and share the cell connection while on location for such uses as CFI Staff and Cam crews on location. [Corky, check out this unit out, and USB air cards.]

Verizon Wireless USB727 Modem can link multiple computers regardless of the carrier. I have one at my beach house.
