Hi David,
Did you check with Telstra? When I looked at the Telstra Wireless
plans the deal included a wireless mode/router with 4 ethernet ports
and the USB device.
Regards,
Adrian

Evening all,
Hope I can get some advice for a friend.
He is currently on a Telstra Wireless Internet Plan, the device that
was supplied to him was a Maxon BP3-USB.
His intention is to take it with him and use it in his laptop but
also use it to provide access to the two/three computers at his
house. As a solution to this we investigated a NetGear MBR624GU but
unfortunately this Maxon model isn't supported. Presumely this is
because it requires a computer to be 'intelligent' and connect to
the network.
As a possible solution we figured we might be able to get the plan
converted and a Sierra Wireless AC880U supplied as an alternative
device.
Telstra's basic response was he would have to break contract ($$)
and then get a new contract but there was no guarantee that they
could provide the Sierra as its not made or stocked any more.
The other solution Telstra said was to purchase their equivalent of
the NetGear but this removes the powerless, mobility feature.
Any suggestions or thoughts?
Cheers
