Sharing EVDO

So, we have directions to share EVDO for Mac and Windows and a few EVDO router products are available (Junxion, StompBox, soon KR1, and others) that have built-in EVDO sharing.

According to Verizon's Terms of Service, this is NOT ALLOWED.

According to one of the other router manufacturers:

great question!

Some of us have a need. I for one purchased the card for my laptop because at the new home (at the present) I have no other option for Intenet access! My wife would like for my laptop not to be the center of attention in the house, and unfortunately the best signal is in the "bedroom" It is my interest to install my $80 a month card into a PCI adaptor in a desktop box in the B/R and share it with my laptop/other Computer in my office down the hall?

Comments?

Tim

PS: I ordered the B/A should be here Monday

if you can wait a few months, a KR1 Router would do the trick for a couple hundred
dollars, instead of using a desktop. Other options also inclde a StompBox and other router$

Post your results here after plug in the booster antenna, I bet it might help in other rooms.

Thanks for the quick response! I am currently at the Swantown Marina in Olympia WA, on the sundeck of our 50ft MY and connected to broadband. The speed tests show from 860 to 1.2meg down and 130up. Life is good!

PS: I will give a report when I get the booster antenna on Monday/Tuesday.

Yes, at those speeds - life is good.

BTW, antenna coming Tuesday according to FedEx.

Michael,

Yup, Tuesday it is and I am looking forward to it. Has it been worth it to boost the signal with an amp. as I have done with my verizon cell phone?

There is advantages to living out of town but we are always a little behind on technology, heck it was just last year when we finally got pulse tone dialing (yuk, yuk)

The signal amplifiers help. There are many threads up here that discuss them (here is one: boosting evdo - amplifier? antenna? ). If you have a dual band signal amp, it will work with your EVDO signal as well, so the one you have may work just fine, all you need is the right cables/adapters to plug into your EVDO data card.

is it possible to buy an EVDO card from Verizon if you already have EVDO service for your phone (without having to buy the service again)?
