3G mobile broadband a breaze to set up?

Well it is finished and set up, but let me give you a few words of advice to those using windows vista.


1- You must have credit to access the internet.. why am i telling you this? well you ironicly need credit to access the 'top up my account' page.. which will leave your red in the face since I couldn't connect to it via the 3g modem.. if you don't have credit on your 3 3G mobile (3 is the company name here in ireland) you will connect to a network but recive a "limited connection" if this is your issue, then check it.

2- Its a modem & a usb key.. sometimes vista will get confused which one it is, in fact when you go to install it, it may only see it as a usb key.. this requires you to manualy install the software thats on it, thats how i got it to work on mine. Once installed try to use it in the same usb point, usualy it works every time, however, i have had to unplug it and replug it in a few times and it finds it their after

3- The install will take ages to install one file.. from memory it was xmailbox.dll or somthing their off.. just let it go.. it will take maybe even 3mins.. i'm not so sure why, but it does continue just sit tight n wait.

4- Put the simcard into the device.. you'll be suprised, i didn't even know i had to do that.. but since it sounds silly to say so considering even the manual states it.


These tips helped me, and yes i'm able to use the mobile broad band.. also speed wise the 3 3G broadband is great when you get a full connection, and can easily handle things such as World of Warcraft or Youtube.. just remmber you've got a 10GB limit on the better package.. thats still heafty, and you could very well play world of warcraft in moderate usage.. just try keep it to general surfing or chatting and a few moderate games of wow and you'll find it a very very good deal
