On the thing that plugs into the side of the comp it says 4G wireless. Shall take it outside later on when the pink chores are doneBruceS wrote:Dot do you have one of those USB 3G modems or the remote wireless 3G one? Model number of the modem?
If you've got the latter one, just sit it up on top of the bus & test it. Does it work better if you're sitting outside?

Re: Nightly Goodnight Everyone
mmm Might pay to grab a cheap 3G one to swap your SIM into.
Like this one. Doesn't need connecting to your laptop. Just put it up on top of the bus.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Brand-New-Un ... 232c80c396 OOOOPS!!! not that one. It's Optus frequency.
I read where sometimes if there's no 4G then you get a feed such as you're describing.
You also have the ability to use a very long USB cable & run it out a window & up top of the bus & THEN plug your modem into the end of it.

The antenna is built into the USB stick so the better position, the better reception. Sometimes even turning your laptop around can give you a better signal.
Naaa ........ just go outside and smell the roses!!!

Re: Nightly Goodnight Everyone
Hey, who turned the lights out and didn't put the night light on? Even the candle had been sniffed till it wouldn't light any more, no idea who would do something like that do you?

Re: Nightly Goodnight Everyone
Reading through this thread I have come to the conclusion that there are a lot of insomniacs on this forum
I occasionally have a sleepless night and spend a bit of time lurking in the dead of night, but with you guys it seems to be the norm.
