If the dongle has a socket for an external antenna, try this:

Bought it from 3 when I bought the USB 3G dongle. Cost ~£50 for the router - Huawei D100

Won't work for me The Voda data card seems to be an Option GE0301. I haven;t been able to track down any sort of router that will support it. Still one lives in hope.

What make is it? I have an unlimited Vodfone mobile express - PCMCIA card though not dongle. Know any devices that can this this since at the moment my only option seems to be to plug it into one of my notebooks, whichever one I happen to need access on. Would be much more convenient if I could share the connection - but I don't want to go the ICS route for a number of reasons.

If you're going to those lengths to get mobile broadband at home, why not just get regular broadband with a wireless router?

Or, get one of those routers that can have a mobile broadand dongle attached?

That would work well in a hotel room

WHS, mine also does WiFi!

The cost of a BT landline perhaps?

Don't think OP means that - just put the dongle on a long extension so it can be placed in a better location (high up, out of the window, wherever) - better than sticking out the side of the laptop.

Do you mean an aerial?

[scooterscot]

Just take back whatever you have and spend the money on a vodafone dongle, I'm guessing you've not got one otherwise this post would not have existed

I got a 5m usb extension for my ps2 buzz controllers - about a fiver from ebuyer. Try it and see HTH.

I got an extension cable with my 3 dongle package - and yes it does make a difference.

I generally try to hook it up to the window frame or the lamp next to the bed and it works better than plugging it straight into the notebook. I also plug the notebook into the mains rather than just use the battery as I think it helps receiving the signal.

It might all be tosh but it's rare never to get a signal...

[Shimano105]

Even better!

You're planning on running a cable to the nearest city centre?
