Well, I made the leap, ordered the service, and the hotspot is on its way to me. If anyone wants to order service from netzero, please use this link and we'll both get extra bandwidth: http://netzero.net/t/VdsBzxprj9k Once I get over the 'maybe I shouldn't have done this' feeling I'll be much hap

The USB stick requires software to run and connect (authentication, etc) and I don't know of any router that will handle that part. If you're wanting to connect multiple devices, the hotspot is the only way I can think of to go without getting a computer involved... http://answers.microsoft.com/

I'm going to be using this 'at home' and don't need it to be mobile. This makes most of the hotspots features useless to me. A stick and a pre-existing router works just as well in my mind. It's not the cost, it's the 'useless' features. I'm morally against useless features. It's a code thing. :)

There are USB to Ethernet adapters, which is the opposite of what you'd want, but I think that there are USB male to female adapters that might be able to invert it. That would allow you to hook the usb on the modem to a usb to ethernet adapter. Then you could use a cross over ethernet cable to pr

I don't think so. Traditionally the "sticks" have been for single computers and the hotspots for multiple. In effect the hotspot *is* the router so you don't need to piggyback. Until Later! C. Hatton Humphrey http://www.eastcoastconservative.com Every cloud does have a silver lining. Sometime

Right, but can I plug in the usb wireless stick into the router or do I need either a special router or special connector? https://store.netzero.net/account/viewWirelessDevices.do Not the hotspot but the stick. Can the stick go into the router? Thanks On Mon, Oct 21, 2013 at 4:28 PM, Eric Rober

You should be able to connect to the wireless with the router and your router would be set up in the routing tables...I think it is called a sub-router. This basically allows your router to act as an access point while still providing DHCP for your local machines. I am trying to see what the actua
