Hi there,

I recently got an emobile Huawei E182 3G modem. I am getting great signal in a part of my house and want to set it up to a wireless router to share the signal to other rooms.

I have tried internet sharing on my Mac's airport but cant get it to work so I am looking into a wireless router for 3G.

The problem is that i don't have a clue about them and what's required to set one up. For example, how do you connect the modem to the internet if it's not connected to the laptop first? and other such ignorant questions.

If anyone has any help on this it will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Robbie

The Mac is not important. You just need a Router that takes a 3G USB stick AND lists your E182 as supported (The Routers have the modem drivers pre-installed, hence only work with pre-listed modems).

This is wrong forum, as 3G or any Mobile can't really be Broadband.
