    Default Using a USB modem for Card Sharing?

    Hey,

    Just need to know if it's possible to somehow use my wireless usb modem to receive updates from card sharing? Is there some kind of adapter. Only reason is I cant get ADSL where im located, all ports are full.

    Cheers.

    PM Warbo or search his posts.
    He has USB > 4 port routers. I have similar in my work van that the USB modem plugs into that gives me 4 x RJ45 + wireless
    Reality is an invention of my imagination.

    They are cool the routers but in a pinch you can use a laptop or tower and just bridge /share the 3G USB modem to the computers Ethernet port and just plug the dream into that

    Might go the router option sounds a little easier. that way the whole house can have wifi.

    SFA it wouldn't even use 500mb a month if it's set up right

    With the router do some homework as the Bigpond USB modems are a bit different from the rest of the crowd thats if i remember right LOL

    I have a Draytek Vigor 2719Vn modem which supports 3G failover, when my DSL connection went down, i was running a card share off 3G, it was a little glitcher than DSL, but still worked. It all depends on your signal strength i think.
