Timotheus 416 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 We have a dual type router here: both LAN and wireless. Our modem is provided by our ISP and it's a single LAN connection. As far as I know, USB type adapters don't really work that well, you'd be better off getting a PCI card for wireless internet on the desktop, because they have better reception(?) but when the new modem is near to the desktop the USB thingy will be fine...

I think I might go to vodafone and make them eat it without salt and pepper Edited June 4, 2008 by kunstler Link to comment
Timotheus 416 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Err... OK... 1. Is the modem itself connected to a LAN cable, or ADSL or anything? Or is it wireless? 2. Doesn't Vodafone know what areas are bad to sell their equip? Here in Holland there are very few places you cannot have Internet, but it is divided as to what provider you can have. Link to comment

Here in Holland there are very few places you cannot have Internet, but it is divided as to what provider you can have. modem connects directly to a computer - USB cable. I have bad signal, I'm living on a very edge of the city, near forest ... also have problems with phone call ... they really do not know how to build a network .... they are using two cells (bi-sector antenna) on the nearest base station instead of three sectors are they should have (I've worked for mobile operator few years ago). tried it on a boat off the coast today and it did not worked either :/ Link to comment
