Hi All,
I just picked up the 597E from Telus for use in the Laurentian Mountains, north of Montreal. My only other internet option is dial up, and I'm done with that. If I can make this work at home, the solution becomes invaluable, given EVDO performance elsewhere, and the Telus unlimited data packages. Telus offers a strong signal throughout the area with 5 bars and lightening speed in many areas nearby my home...just not AT my home. I receive signal in just one room and it's very weak with the EDVO "A" icon coming and going. I am maintaining a connection even with 0-1 bar, bit the system stalls and performance is not optimum. Telus confirms that there are 2 towers within 10 miles of my home.

I am hopeful that an external antenna will resolve my issues, and that I'll then be able to connect the card to a router for wireless reception throughout my home.

Any and all useful input on this topic would be appreciated. I would like some recommendations on antenna types, and router combinations, assuming that they would work. There are several threads on these forums that discuss the subject, but as far as I can tell, none from Canada.

Thanks!

Upnorth
