Usb Wireless Modem

[Axaj]

Can you use a USB wireless modem with the Pandora?

 

[gruso]

Yes. Huawei E160 and E220 are confirmed. No doubt others will be as people get a chance to test them.


[edit] We've got a USB compatibility list here: http://pandorawiki.org/USB_compatibility_list

It's pretty thin at the moment, we can really start to populate it once we have our Pandoras. I'm just going to put in another huzzah for the Griffin SmartShare USB hub linked on that page. You'll need a hub if you're going to plug in a USB 1.1 3G modem like the E220, and this one was totally made for Pandora.

What about keyboards and mice? I don't see any on the list, but I suspect at least some are compatible.

EDIT: Whoops, just looked a bit more and found that they were compatible. Never mind.

Would that be a usb to wireless ethernet adapter? I never heard of a usb wireless modem before.

Yes, I do.

What's so special about that hub? it's a 2-port hub. Better to get a 7-port USB Squid, shown here: http://usb.brando.com.hk/usb-7-port-hub-ca...70c039d015.html

EDIT: Note that this is 5 more USB ports for $3 more and $3 shipping cost. Not to mention, this will allow you to use powered USB devices.

I'd use the squid at home and the girffin for when out and about. The squid is a little chunky for daily use when outside of the house.
