Comment on How Does An Air Internet Card Work? by Abacus

A wireless card receives a signal from a wireless router connected to your main modem and will allow access to an already existing account in your home. If you don’t have an account, you will have to sign up with an internet service provider to have internet in your home. Or, you can legally gain access to an existing account in various places. Motels, rv resorts & campgrounds, airports, even restaurants, etc often offer free access while you are there.

Air card is a term usually applied to an EVDO card. You sign a contract and the card is activated. It is a stand alone item plugged into your laptop without need for a router. You can access the internet, basically, anywhere a cell phone will work with one of these.

You need a *wireless router.* And yes, you will need to pay for High speed Internet service, so your wireless router will work. The wireless router broadcasts the Internet signals through your home and your "air card" *Picks it up.*

Internet>Modem>Wireless Router>Air Card>Computer

If you don’t subscribe to Internet service, you can use your air card at places that offer free WiFi such as Starbucks and Hotels.

Bucketheadcharly is correct you will not be building a laptop.

Al most all new laptops come pre-configured with everything you will need to get onto a wireless network (Not a cell network). I assume the Comcast router you speak of is really a cable modem and yes you will want a wireless router. Once you get used to using the laptop you will want to use it everywhere in the house. A wireless pre-N router will give you the best range and reception. Simply plug the router WAN port into the cable modem and follow router manufacturers instructions.

As far as the taking the laptop anywhere you want to go you will need a laptop internet card and a mobile data plan. For more in depth information check out this article MOBILE DATA PLANS

A lot of the companies are dropping their overage charges and are just slowing your connection after you exceed the 5GB. You might want to check to see if you can access Clearwire in your area. They have an all you can eat plan for $40.00/month.

Comment on Internet Data Card Comparability? by Bill

Yes, it will connect to your home wireless network, or any public wireless network in major cities or at a hotel.

No, it will not work in the back of a cab unless you attach a internet data card from your carrier (e.g. Sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon). A separate USB card and service contract is required.
Also, remember, that 3G is not supported in all cities… most, but not all.

Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows you to send/receive info less than 10-meters away to another bluetooth enabled device (e.g. computer, cell-phone, printer, speakers, etc.)

You would not get ATT 3G for the internet card since you don’t have it for your phone- they use the exact same network.. Waste of a phone in my opinion- the iDont is a horrible device anyways, but even worse if you can’t get 3G.. I’d get an Android phone from Verizon if I were you.. But anyways.. Yes you can have a Verizon internet modem card without having a phone through them

Comment on Verizon USB Connect Card Help by Matt

Wrong category, it has nothing to do with the USB connect card. You have 3G only it’s 3g with a low signal.

Bad signal it happens to me a lot.

The bars have nothing to do with the speed, it has to do with the coverage in the area your in If you’re in a bad reception area it doesnt matter if you have 4g it’s gonna be slower.

You’ll be cutting it close. Data plans like that are intended for individuals usually. Just normal household web traffic will use up 3-4GB/mo. I know a lot of rural folks get stuck with the same situation, shitty overpriced DSL (256k) or none at all.

FWIW, my company uses a Verizon wireless internet card and it works great, but we pay 60 bucks a month for it (in addition to normal service).

Yea its enough. But if you could get a little bit more than that. That would be great. Even if you do stick with the plan you have now, you will have time to see if it works decent, if not upgrade.
