Making a mobile internet wireless...Is it possible?

carrie483

Hey, I have t-mobile mobile internet and i was wondering if there was any way i could make it wireless so other computers can use it?

I have tried connecting it to a wireless router but as you need the computer software to manually connect it, it wasn't possible. So is there maybe any way i can turn my computer into a wireless hub?

Also, i have a LCD tv with a cracked screen, to fix the screen, will it be just as expensive as buying a new tv?

Thanks

I think you can probably set up your computers in a LAN (either wired or wireless through a suitable hub/switch/router) then set up Windows Internet Connection Sharing (assuming you're running Windows) and share the connection that way, i.e. the secondary computers connect through the main host computer (the one with the mobile modem). Try googling for 'internet connection sharing' for info.

Though unless you've got a decent 3G (preferably HSDPA) connection things might be pretty slow... and if you're somewhere with decent connection like that you're probably somewhere you can get a conventional broadband connection which for anything other than the most temporary use is probably preferable to sharing a mobile modem connection. Also be aware of the download limits on the various Web & Walk plans... on Web & Walk Plus it's only 3GB, could be fairly easy to use this up if you're sharing with many other PCs.
