mobile broadband and home WIFI

[stevel]

Here in Italy our ADSL is constantly dropping out. I have decided to go for a mobile dongle which should be more reliable and is portable. My question is, can I still set up a Wifi network at home or is this not possible? I know that the dongle plugs directly into the Pc via USB but is there a way of distributing the internet wirelessly,?

Hi Steve,

You can plug the dongle right into a wifi router and distribute.

Thanks for the advice. The 3 italia site is very interesting, and cheaper than the UK! (One of the few things that is, excluding vino and eating out of course).

My wifi router has no USB input, can I buy an adapter to be able to plug the dongle in?

Might be as cheap to get a new router -
