The question I have, is there a way I can set up a network using my phone as the broadband connection? I'm already using my Blackjack II 3G phone now as a broadband modem for my laptop and desktop computers (not networked at this time).
I know there are routers that accept the PCMCIA air cards, but I connect using a USB cable. Can I connect all my machines, PS3, desktop and laptop to a wireless router and use one of my computers as the connection point instead of the router? I'm fairly new at networking so I apologize it these are simple questions.
Also, according to the 3g network info, I should be able to connect at a faster rate, somewhere around 600kbps to 1.4mbps, but according to my network connection it says I'm getting a speed of 230.4kbps. Is there a setting I need to change or is this the limitation of the USB port?
Any info is greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Frank
PS, The phone does not have wi-fi abilities, it has to be tethered using a USB cable.
