i have a Banda ancha Claro stick that works stuck into my usb port. Wanted a fixed line but apparently is not possible say Claro. So more people in the house want internet and at the minute we have to share stick - not ideal. I know I can have a Banda Ancha wireless modem but that means signing an 18 month contract which I would rather not do. So I have a Cisco wireless modem which i thought i could use to deliver internet to everyone wirelessly by either plugging claro stick into it - it has a usb port - or by plugging it into my computer to pick up signal from the stick when it is plugged into my laptop.
With stick plugged into wifi box everything works, stick picks up signal but usually when it is plugged into my machine a programme comes up and you click connect. When plugged into wifi there is no programme. If I open programme it says no signal but I can see that there is a signal as the light is blue.
If stick plugged into computer all fine, can pick up wifi but no internet - just on my machine. Have tried connecting my machine to router with lan cable, telephone cable - nothing works.
All I need is someway for the modem to see the internet on my machine instead of the usual phone cable, or a way to be able to press connect when the stick is in the modem.
Any one any ideas please? Am sure it just means pushing a button somewhere just dont know which button and where lol.
