Can these work together?

[Dolby]

I'm a bit of starter - so just wanted to ask advice.

I've got 8ta data - and always used both the Tenda 3G150M portable router (http://www.tenda.cn/tendacn/product/show.aspx?productid=374) and plugged my Cell C black speedstick E1820.

Everything was great - wifi distance was perfect, it acted like an AP meaning I could access files, stream etc from PC ... but I had one issue : it was unstable and would constantly disconnect or throughput would just stop.

I borrowed a Vodafone R201 (http://www.business.vodafone.com/si...t/wi_fi_devices/r201/05_summary/p_summary.jsp) for 2 weeks ... and had ZERO drop in connection. I've since got my Cell C back ... and again it's dropping. So it seems the equipment is at fault. Here's my issue.

Can I make both the Tenda and the R201 work in my network - like link them or something?
The both have positives and negatives and the ideal would be something in the middle?
I need a stable 3G connection - but I also need it to act as an AP to stream from my PC.

Any idea?

So it seems the equipment is at fault.

Equipment has no enough power, the most common cause.

Appears to be - another modem works alright.

This E1820 eats power!

I don't believe it'll make a night/day differance but what firmware has your 1820 got on it,perhaps try another & see if it's any better.
I haven't monkeyed with my 1820 or a while but firmware on mine is 11.865.07.00.618
In the "diagnostics" part of the CellC software or other dash it'll display the firmware version your currently running.

Oh - just replied to your post in the other section

I'll check at home.

But I've tried the ZTE 3772 modem and it's reliable, so thinking of getting rid of this Cell C modem (already advertised actually)
