USB internet dongle connection

I have a mobile telephone with sim card.
I have an old USB dongle.
I put the sim card in the usb dongle and use it to surf the net.
Question is what is best / quickest / cheapest : to use the Huawei Modem over the phone number *99# or to use the "Mobile Partner" software that is on the dongle which uses Ethernet Adaptor (en3) connection.
Basicaly is there any difference between them?

Typically for these types of devices, the hardware and software is packaged together as a solution. So if your dongle is branded Vodacom but you are trying to connect to someone else's network with it, I'm not surprised it isn't working.
I would try taking the whole kit to a Vodafone or T-Mobile store in Germany and see what they have to say about it. Likely they will want to sell you a new dongle compatible with their network, but it's worth asking.

  • Playbook and internet dongle connectivity

    Can anyone tell me if it is possible to connect an internet dongle to the Blackberry playbook via the micro usb connection?
    any advice would be greatly appreciated

    You will need a router of some kind to share a USB cellular Internet dongle to create a hotspot. There are small ones available if you're a traveller: http://mobileoffice.about.com/od/mobileaccessories/tp/Top-7-Travel-Wireless-Routers.htm
    If you're trying to share a standard USB Wi-Fi dongle via MicroUSB (which doesn't make sense because the PlayBook has a Wi-Fi radio built in) then it can not be done currently because it lacks USB OTG (USB On the Go http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_On-The-Go ) capability at this time. The driver is there apparently embedded within the OS but it does not work. No word on if ever it will gain this capability.

  • Airport Extreme - Win 7 - USB internet dongle...

    Using my Apple Airport Extreme, I would like to connect (possibly through a CAT5 cable) to my Win 7 laptop (of which uses an USB dongle for the internet) and stream an internet connection to my iphone 4s to save on some data costs.  Is this possible?

    Is there a conflict between the Belkin
    adapter and the Extreme?
    We are using two PCs, one laptop running Windows 2000 and one desktop running XP, and both have Belkin "g" equipment installed. We are having no problem with the desktop. Sometimes we need to remove and re-insert the card on the laptop upon startup when it does not connect. Other than that, they both run great with the new AEBS.
    The XP machine is using Windows to manage the wireless connection, but the laptop is using the supplied Belkin control panel.

  • Satellite C660-108 does not boot if USB Bluetooth dongle connected

    Hiya,
    I hope you would help me.
    I am having an issue with my bluetooth dongle and satellite c660-108.
    It works all perfectly. It connects devices via bluetooth and I can do everything I want.
    But then when I am shutting down laptop and turning on again it won't go if the bluetooth dongle is still in the usb socket.
    I see Toshiba screen and then it hangs with black screen and blinking cursor in top left corner.
    I have to turn it off, take out the bluetooth dongle and then turn it on again.
    And then windows starts. After that I have to put in bluetooth dongle again if I want to work with it.
    It is not a huge issue but it is a bit annoying when I have to take out the bluetooth and put it back again to get the windows started.
    I am currently running under win 8.1 but had it already with win 8.
    Anybody any ideas??

    >I see Toshiba screen and then it hangs with black screen and blinking cursor in top left corner.
    Mostly the blinking cursor appears because the notebook cannot find an bootable device.
    It looks like the unit cannot switch to the HDD while the USB dongle is connected.
    I would recommend you checking the booting order in the BIOS.
    Set the HDD at the first place and the USB as last possible booting device.
    Save the changes and check if it helps.

  • Could you please help me connect my Telstra usb internet stick to my new Macbook Air? This is my first Mac and I am really struggling!

    Hi,
    I just brought my first Mac at Christmas and I am trying to connect my Telstra usb internet stick to it.
    The Mac recognises the internet stick and the widget pops up for the stcik but then asks me to register the internet stick with this computer. I am provided with a a description on how to do this (go to Open Network Preferences > a new pop up will say New System/internet found etc), but the "new system/internet pop up never appears, so I can click on the "directIP" showing on the left hand sinde of the Open Network Preferences windon, but then I dont know where to go from there.
    Could anyone help me with a step by step (aka lamens description) of how to fix this?
    Thank you very much!

    Hey there, my experience with the Telstra USB internet dongles is a little different, don't think you need to fuss with settings and all that, it's basically designed to plug and play almost.
    When you plug it in, it should prompt you to install the Telstra utility. Have you done this? You will know because in your 'Applications' you will see a Telstra icon. You need to use this utility to connecto the internet.
    So, if you have this, simply double click it and when the utility opens, click 'Connect' and as long as the dongle can detect the network it will connect. There should not be any other configuration required.
    If that utility is not there, then install it. When you plug in the dongle, you will see it appear as a drive, should be able to just double click it and then go through the installation process.
    Failing all that, head into a telstra store and the guys there will sort it out for you quite quickly.

  • Making an internet dongle work with Snow Leopard

    Can anybody tell me why my Swisscom usb internet 'dongle' (Unlimited Connection Manager) no longer works since I installed Snow Leopard? It still works perfectly on a PC - from where I am forced to send this message.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard has given me nothing but suprise problems in times of stress and was positively the worse move I ever made with Apple. My MacSpeech dictate has also just given up the ghost. I suspect it needs a software upgrade but as I can no longer access the internet ... grrrr

    I wish Apple had advised in advance that this kind of thing would happen - and provided some support - before urging everyone to upgrade.
    Having been a longtime Mac user, I've always taken that responsibility on myself. Given that many Mac sites publish compatibility reports ([like this one|http://snowleopard.wikidot.com>) at every upgrade, I imagine that is the case for many Mac users.
    Apple provides developers with a stable feature set far in advance of the actual release so that they can identify and fix any problems. I expect developers to do their part. If developers aren't up to that task, I find and support other developers that are.
    Hardware like yours has always had problems with updates and they are slow to fix them. They don't seem to put much effort into the software to drive them. If they even make Mac drivers, they usually cause problems.

  • Can i connect my ipod touch to internet, via a laptop that is connected to the net by a USB modem/dongle

    I have an i pod touch, which i use to facetime friends abroad when i am at home in the uk. I work on a ship and we have very limited broadband and we are not permitted to stream through company PC's. When we are in port what i would like to do is buy a USB modem/dongle (locally, as of now i am in indonesia) for my laptop, and connect to the net using that. Is it possible to make the laptop a wfi hot spot and then connect my touch so i can facetime.
    Is it technically doable?
    How much data does facetime use, and would it be an expensive way to do it?

    Yes. Google for
    setup window 7 (or the OS you have) as wofo hotspot
    See:
    http://www.geeksugar.com/How-Much-Data-Does-iPhone-4S-FaceTime-Use-23562212
    for comparison, according to one test of an iPhone 4 FaceTime call, about 3MB of data were used per minute over 3G service. Using this rule, a one-hour FaceTime phone call would use a scant 0.175GB of data.

  • Internet Sharing via USB Wifi Dongle?

    I just acquired a first gen Mini (1.25Ghz, 1GB RAM) with no Airport built in. I was able to add wireless to it via a Ralink 802.11n USB dongle. Here's my question:
    Can I connect the Mini to the internet via ethernet and then use the USB dongle to share the connection with other Macs in my house?
    I currently have an old PowerMac G4 acting as a server/wireless router. (Ethernet in to give it a real IP address for easy access from anywhere. Airport out to give internet access to my MacBook Pro.) It's a great setup, and serves me well (no pun intended), but if I could get the Mini to take its place, it would save me room.
    Anyone know how to get one of these USB Wifi dongles to share out internets?
    Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
    SJ (no, not that SJ)

    Can I connect the Mini to the internet via ethernet and then use the USB dongle to share the connection with other Macs in my house?
    I don't have a USB wireless adapter, but I believe in order for this to work, you would have to be able to select it when attempting to configure Internet Sharing.
    Does this USB adapter show up in the list of network devices under the Network panel in System Preferences? If it does, go to the Sharing panel. From this panel, select Internet Sharing; choose the USB adapter for the "Share your connection from" list, and then, choose "To computers using" = "Ethernet."

  • Internet wireless connection shuts down when iPhone in USB port

    Hi. I bought a new iPhone 3G 2 days ago. Whenever I plug it into my PC USB port to sync, my internet wireless connection shuts down (a dongle is plugged into another USB port). Have you heard of this happening before? Is it likely to be the iPhone, the new version of iTunes or the PC causing the problem? Many thanks for your assistance.

    Your welcome.
    A USB memory pen does not draw any power - as does the iPhone.
    Apple recommends connecting the iPhone direct to a USB 2.0 port on your computer - not to a USB hub if there is one available.
    Do you know if this computer has USB 1.1 or 2.0 ports? If the former, USB 1.1 is not supported.
    My PowerBook is approaching 4 years old and still going strong - running Apple's current operating system, but Snow Leopard will be comptible with Intel Macs only, so I'm reaching the end of the line OS version wise with my 4 year old Mac. I don't know many 4 year old PCs running Vista. My Mac has USB 2.0, and I regularly charge other USB devices while my iPhone is connected and while syncing - no problem.

    Any ideas?

    Hello Jo,
    Typically USB WAN devices will require a software/driver install. I know on my AT&T device I had to download and install a software client that I would need to run to make the device work and be detected by machine. I wouldn't use the default Network System Preferences. In the case of the Verizon WAN device I have now the drivers were on the device itself and the first time I plugged it in I was prompted to install and configure the device.
    I found this article online and hopefully this will be helpful.

  • How to connect my USB internet modem to iPad2?

    hi,
    I am looking for way to connect my USB internet modem stick to iPad2; I understand one way is to get a pocket Internet hub and thru that I can connect via WiFi.
    But is there any way that we can directly connect the USB modem to iPad and use it?

    A 3G wireless router may do the job. I have used that years ago.

  • After installing Lion, sharing my USB internet connection no longer works on my iPhone4.

    I have a USB internet device and have been able to share that connection with my iPhone without problem, until installing Lion.  I searched the web, and someone suggested changing my encryption to 128, which I did.  For a few hours that worked, but now it's not giving me a decent connection.  Anyone know why and what the solution is?  Thanks.

    I am having the same problem.  It worked fine (connecting my iOS devices to my macbook pro using internet sharing) until Lion.  Then it all went to ****.

  • Altell USB Internet Connect Card connection Problem

    Altell USB Internet Connect Card
    My daughter is using and Alltel , UT Star Com, UM 175 wireless connect card on a iMac G5 with OS 10.4.6. She had a good internet connection for two days, then nothing since. She has had many phone tech assistance with Alltel, but still unable to reconnect.
    In System preferences it shows that she is connected via “Pan Tech USB Modem” port 777. She is getting good signal strength with send and receive signal and connect time. However, when using Safari and Mail app she is unable to connect to the internet.
    It seems to me that the problem lies within the set=up between the iMac and Alltel card. The card seems to be making the connection, but for some reason the computer can’t realize that this card is the way to the internet. Safari brings up the usual “you are not connected to the Internet”, then the diagnostics application that guides you through troubleshooting with the usual questions, none of which include a wireless USB connection.
    Is there some other thing she needs to do for her iMac to recognize the Altell card?

    I just gave up on this problem and went in another direction
