O.P. Setting up a wireless network via sprint aircard.
I just recently bought a Sierra Wireless AirCard(595U), but one is just not enough for all the computers in my house. I have two laptops and two desktop PCs. And rather then having to unplug the card from one pc to another each time someone want's to use the internet I was wondering if there was a way to configure it can broadcast to multiple computers with a router.

I have Windows XP on both computers and one laptop. And Vista on  the second laptop. I also have a Linksys Router WRT54GS v.5.


The computer that will have the aircard plugged into it will be one of hte laptops.

Laptop Info:
Dell Inspiron M1330
Windows Vista Home Premium



If anyone can help at all it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :3

You might want to get an EV-DO router like this one.

Damn, I kinda figured it would more then likely be only possible with a special type of router.

there is another couple of ways posibaly,
do you use wifi? you can set up a wifi internet share
or you could daisy chain the computers via ethernet

though your speed will be quicker with a router
