| qnm | hi folks, I want to buy a 4g modem for use on Telstra - anyone have any opinions on whether I seek out a Sierra 320U or get something like a ZTE MF821? I'm on 12.10. | 01:40 |
|---|---|---|
| pippo_ | hello | 10:18 |
| pippo_ | quit | 10:18 |
| jea | qnm: i have a 4g wireless router-like device that 5 other wireless devices can connect to | 10:45 |
| jea | i find that much easier than a usb dongle, as multiple devices can use it at the same time, and you don't have to worry about drivers | 10:46 |
| head_victim | qnm & jea: if you're using it as a primary source I've found it's generally even better to try and get the home network gateways. They're just not portable. | 11:28 |
| mesquka | I have fibre optic, troll, fast, for outdoors a good 3G telstra stick usually does it for me | 12:46 |
| mesquka | (usb) | 12:46 |
| jea | head_victim: yeah, i can imagine that would be better. at least for me it is hardly used due to having cable at home | 12:55 |
| head_victim | jea: we use it on holidays so we can both be on a stable connection. | 13:13 |
| head_victim | It's also plugged in to my second wan point as a failover if the cable goes down. | 13:14 |
| head_victim | (which I can count on one hand in the years I've lived here) | 13:14 |
| jea | we have had a few more cable outages than that, but it was when we first got it | 13:18 |
| jea | the port we were connected to was faulty, so once they swapped it, we were fine | 13:18 |
| head_victim | Ah that would be a pain, at least they sorted it eventually. | 13:23 |
| head_victim | Anyway, I should head off to bed, night mesquka and jea | 13:23 |
| jea | night head_victim | 13:31 |
| mesquka | night | 13:32 |
| blahdeblah | head_victim: Sorry about the big mailing list post - i didn't realise our limit was so low. Hope the new one meets with your approval. :-) | 22:15 |
