If I bring the modem down to PC level I get no signal where as get a good signal from attic. I hope to try the same with the UMR router.

I reckon all the operators are at this carry-on to deal with contention. i.e. They drop your connection (on a particular APN) and freeze you out (or reduce you to 2G) for a time period. Pretty shoddy, but 3G just doesn't scale very well. Thanks for that t0mm13b.

I find myself switching between the different APN's from time to time...in order to reset the connection (if I use 3internet, it works, then sporadically, it disconnects, then I try to reconnect - it fails, so then switch to the private apns, then disconnect for a while, then reconnect back on to 3internet then it works...weird!)

Seems to work fine. And I need it really cos the 3g signal in the house ain't great so I have the usb dongle up in the top corner of a window facing the direction of the mast - connected back down to the router which is near ground level in a corner.

In theory the USB specification allows lengths up to 5m, but when connecting USB modems to a router or computer it is vital it is operating with optimum power. I'd recommend not using a USB cable with your modem if it can be avoided - obviously some modems require a cable either because they have a mini-USB port rather than USB connector or require extra current using a double-headed or 'Y' USB cable. In those circumstances a short cable (<1m) is recommended. Hi MacDara, the fella in Maplins is spot on.

I only tried them out recently and have to admit I was slightly skeptical about the appeal of home automation, but I am now more convinced. For example even if you're using the UMR in WAN mode, you can use your USB modem to control sockets via SMS; i.e. although the USB port is not being used for the internet connection it can still be active for SMS functionality such as home automation.

also i have an 02 sierra 888 – has anyone tried an antenna with this and what was result/type of antenna?

thanks
