derek22x Posted February 22, 2008 CID Share Posted February 22, 2008 If you're in the US, many wireless providers offer high speed wireless internet via PC-Card. You may want to inquire from AT&T, Sprint and others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derek22x Posted February 22, 2008 CID Share Posted February 22, 2008 That's the thing, I have tried Sprint once and it gives me about 384Kbps but not really good. If you intend to use it for gaming, I don't think it's a good choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raistlin666 Posted February 27, 2008 CID Share Posted February 27, 2008 I've used sprint before, and think it works well, I've personally never understood why you would want to put something like that in your car though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted February 27, 2008 CID Share Posted February 27, 2008 Sprint EVDO is good, but if it is in your city go AT&T HSPA, I just set it up for a friend of mine on his notebook, and I was getting about 1 - 1.3mbps download and around 700kbps upload. Pings were half way decent too 80 on the low end 160 on the high end. With clever routing you could play your xbox 360 on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prodeus Posted February 27, 2008 CID Share Posted February 27, 2008 I have seen some sprint cards that received about 31 Mbps (that is a test that was run from this site) DL and about .5 Mbps UL. And as far as hooking it up so that you can use internet and play on Xbox live, kyocera makes a wireless router with its software run by Dlink that will allow you to plug in a Sprint (or other cellular) card as you internet access and then you can plug in 4 hardwire devices (and you can add a switch if you need more) into the router. Also the newer versions allow you to connect a USB cellular device into it instead of a card. That way you could mount that cellular device in the car where it could get the best signal, then, with the use of USB extension cables, you could hide the router and other parts inside the car out of sight. In fact, you could probably remove the antenna off of the router and install a more powerful one somewhere in the car, so where ever you parked the car would function as a hotspot. Then if you want you could secure it so that you and those with you can use the internet but others couldn't. Just an idea to help you with your project.

tommie gorman Posted February 28, 2008 CID Share Posted February 28, 2008 I just wish I could figure out how to get what you guys do. One day I will though. And I'll have the time to do it too. I"m guessing an antennae change for now. When I get some more change I'm gonna try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
