| Sharing Verizon Broadbandaccess connection? I have a USB720 USB Modem and although my RSSI (Received Signal Strength) is fairly low - One bar I have up/down speeds equivalent to my problematic Hughesnet Satellite Internet without its latency!
I am currently using the optional (magnetic mount) external antenna that Verizon sells for it to position in exactly best spot of my two story home.
I have previously shared my Internet connection on a small household wireless network via a Linksys wireless router. I typically share it between my laptop, my desktop and my wife's laptop and desktop. Never are there more than 1 or 2 up and running at a time.
I have so far I have ONLY been successful sharing my internet connection by running modem on a Desktop upstairs, using Windows Internet Connection Sharing (ICS).
Do I have any better options?
Anyone using any software other than the VZAccess Manager?
I thought I read where someone ditched it and was using another workaround?
What are the best info sources for this modem/internet access.
I am REALLY limited in HS Internet access solutions available to me. Until now Satellite was IT! I hate Hughesnet!
Thanks in advance! |

i have the usb720 with a linksys wireless modem and i can share the connection when not using the vzaccess software. you have to set up a standard dial up connection through the normal dialing. |

I use a kyocera KR1 wireless router with the usb720 and it works great! I used a verizon 620 pcmcia card befor the 720. Had to go to the 720 to get rev a speeds. The KR1 has been replaced with the KR2 now I believe. |

I am new at this however I also am seeking a solution to share my Verizon USB 720 connection with one other computer in our home.
As to signal strength I found that when both USB 720 connectors are plugged into "powered" USB ports the signal strength usually is at least one bar when camping along a lake and always at five bars when at home or on the road. An USB router will work just as well if it is separately powered from a power adaptor and both USB 720 connectors are plugged into the router.
Hope this is some help. |
