| 1364649 | 2014-01-08 01:17:00 | A purchase of a Samsung tablet has led to frustration getting Wi-Fi into the home in a rural area. The computer is XP, getting the internet via Telecom's mobile network (the T-stick). The device chosen by an "adviser" for the Wi-Fi is a small 'flash' drive, programmed from a disc, and inserted into a USB port. Its commercial name is EDUP, made in China. The tablet is receiving Wi-Fi current intermittently - and allowance has been made for Telecom's recent problems with its mobile network. The "adviser"s view is that the device has some problem of compatibility with the internet software. I would be interested in hearing from anyone else who has used EDUP. Oliver | Oliver (3618) | ||

| 1364651 | 2014-01-08 07:45:00 | Hi - the terminology you are using is not quite correct and potentially confusing. WiFi is a term that covers local wireless (i.e. WLAN = wireless local area network). What you are talking about is broadband wireless. What you are describing sounds to me like the supplied drivers on the disc are not working correctly - which is the "advisers" problem to sort out! |

| 1364652 | 2014-01-08 07:58:00 | Most if not all current Samsung tablets have built-in wifi, so you shouldn't need any sort of wifi adapter. Also, Edup is simply a brand name, not a specific product. They're just a $2 shop-quality variant of the already-cheap-anyway products the likes of Linksys, TPLink etc make. Not really clear what you're trying to achieve sorry. | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1364653 | 2014-01-08 08:00:00 | I would get a 3G router with Wifi, They are about $65-$250 depending on how powerful you want the Wifi www.ascent.co.nz |

| 1364654 | 2014-01-08 09:02:00 | Looking at the "Question" You have a XP Computer connecting to the internet Via a T-Stick = connection to the WAN - then the other usb Device is acting like a relay from the T-Stick, or like the older style of Internet connection sharing ( before wireless routers were about) The T-Stick, its not designed to work like that. As SolMiesterr said, a 3G Modem would be a better option than a USB Acess point, ( Which is basically what you are describing) -- See Telecoms Suggestions for your Version of T-Stick help.telecom.co.nz |
