Hi, i am new to mobile Internet.
I thinking to purchase wi-fi router tomorrow, but i plan to subscribe to EVDO intenret soon.

And i got Verizon USB EVDO modem - UM150 what options will i have to connect second laptop to Internet trough it, e.g. can i use shared networking (NAT) or i need some special hardware (router) for that?
Thx a lot.

P.S. I am not sure how Verizon blocks you from sharing connection?

The easiest way is to simply order a CradlePoint from the 3GStore. When I need to share my desktop with my laptop - I just plug in my 3gStore CradlePoint to my Verizon USB aircard - and both my Desktop and Laptop connect to it. When my kids come over - I hook up my card to my CradlePoint and the kids can all use their laptop's while visiting.

If you look to the right of the screen - you will see a list of routers...

You COULD add a second wifi card, and then share the connection that way. Or, you COULD use an ethernet cable between the two. Both would work, and require ICS to setup, but anything at xp or better this should work fine.

With Windows 7, the options are even BETTER and sharing is pretty simply.

If you have just the USB modem, then you can just share it with your wifi connection point as an ad-hoc connection, this is easy to setup.

The most simplest,worry free, trouble free, easy way to share connections is with an EVDO router as one of the previous user has mentioned. Now more than ever its easy see the lower price on the CTR350
