Hi to all Sifu,

I moved into my new home but there is no landline. So mobile broadband is the only way to stay connected.
Due to the limitation of mobile broadband, I manage to get HSDPA connection via USB dongle, which i taped and extend via USB extension to the window. IF i left the dongle on my laptop i only can get EDGE.

To cut the story short, Mifi will reduce my cable problem. But looking at a few comments here, for long run Mifi battery will die out faster.

SO i need advise from Sifu here, which option should i go for:
I only only from 8pm till 11pm ( only time to online after work and reaching home)

Option 1: Stick to using Mifi.

Option 2: continue using USB dongle and stick into a Wifi router.

Please share your advise.

Regards,

V

Option 2, but buy a long enough Cat6E LAN cable , use it with a 3G router near your window or buy a USB3.0 cable ( for the usb modem)to extend the cable outside. wat modem are u using?
