Hi folks, At the moment I am using either my '3' contract mobile internet 'dongle' type modem (a ZTE model: MF627) or my Vodafone 'light' dongle (a Huawei model: K3565).
I want to fit a USB 3G wireless router so I can - I hope - use my laptop 'wirelessly' throughout the boat. I'm also hoping that I can connect both dongles to the same USB port at the same time, but I am a little concerned that I might not have enough power to drive the one in use and the *one* on standby from the same USB connection on the router. (I'm sure I recently read somewhere that USB ports can only supply 500ma per port - and that even this can be marginal for some dongle/modems.) Are any of you guys and gals doing this already? I figure that the wireless signal inside the boat 'ought' to be OK, but it would be great if somebody could confirm it for me; I haven't decided on the router yet so any suggestions on what to (or NOT to) use would also be very helpful, as would any other stuff you think I should be aware of .. :-) Cheers, Trevor [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
