|  [Equipment] Switching from wildblue to alltel
We are wanting to make the switch from wildblue to alltel. Here is my question.
We are currently running two computer. My DH computer is Hard wired to everything. My computer is wireless in our dinning room. Right now we have a linksys Wireless G 2.4 router. What router will we need to keep me ( My computer in the dinning room )connected to the internet? Or can we
work with what we have some how?
Thanks in advance

| I just switched from hughesnet a couple of months ago to alltel and realy like it! I am using the UM150 air card and a MBR1000 CradlePoint Router and I have my desktop and laptop wireless.You can use what you have now but one of your computers has to stay on all the time because you will have to use the one with what ever card you get to go through your router using that computer like a server. Because there is no where to stick the air card in your linksys. |

I would recommend the Cradlepoint Router. The MBR1000 is great (it is what I use), but the CTR350 should also be a good product and is a little cheaper (about $140??) |

MBR1000 here at it works great. No regrets.

| I wanted to mention that yesterday I had a good signal and then it dropped to 1x again. I called tec support and finally they said my PRL needed updated and they fixed it. When I was looking at the Quick Link Mobile to see when it would get fixed I saw Rev A pop up where DO is. It went to DO and back to Rev A and then back to DO where it stayed. Even though speed tests show only 600 down and 100 up my connection has never been more stable. I have restored faith in Alltel and I'm sorry I said they were like HughesNet. |

I dumped Wildblue for the KPC680, and the KR2 router, and couldn't be happier...it feels faster, and is more reliable particularly during the rainy season. Do it, and don't look back...
oh, and be careful when you cancel wildblue, it took me three exrtra months to get them to stop billing me, and another 6 weeks to get my money back... |

| My speeds are very good today. They must be doing something to make it better. I am only using the UM150. So far I think I might make it thru the summer without needing a booster or antenna.

I used to have Hughes (*grumbles*).
I use an old beater laptop set up with internet connection sharing that is connected to my wireless router, then my desktop and laptop are also connected to that router. I get home from work, plug in the cell phone to charge it and get online (it automatically dials out if a computer on the network needs to get to the internet). The cell-phone is a ROKR Z6M and I get great speeds with it (1 - 1.4mbit in the morning). Cheap router, no air-card, and I needed the cell phone anyways.
I live out in the sticks and was only getting 0 - 1 bars of signal, so I added a JDTeck JD55-PR repeater.
For an extra $25 a month, I've been extremely happy with the performance. It felt great to call up Hughes and tell them where they could put their "new" 24-hour lockdown FAP policy.  |
