You're correct, this is an external antenna jack. >There is a registry hack to make the device support WiFi tethering. Note that this needs WM6.0, WM6.1 apparently allows the carrier to detect tethering and bill you extra (not that Rogers does this, to my knowledge, but they could start) >I know a TyTn isn't exactly cheap but if you don't have one already, >you might be able to get one cheap with a screen defect or something. >It's also quite possible that other, older/cheaper models would serve >as well but I can only speak for what I've got. They're surprisingly cheap on eBay/Craigslist now (vs the $600 I paid for an unlocked unit when they first came out) I could probably be talked into selling mine with some minor cosmetic damage for $250 or so (I haven't looked at the new/replacement costs yet, I just know what I want to buy instead, I need a replacement as part of $DAYJOB involves testing WM software) Contact me off-list if this looks useful. Note that you'll probably have to reflash the firmware, I'm on a modified one, although I could probably flash a stock AT&T image back on the device before sending it out. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
