Hi, My boss wants to connect his laptop AND PC to the internet at the same time. He doesn't have a landline, only the dongle type setup. he does not want to swithc the dongle between the machines, he only wants to use 1 device. i have no knowledge about this. any suggestions will be appreciated. Model numbers and names will be a plus

Share the connection, over LAN interface. Connect the two with a cross over cable.

Thanks guys... Is there no there way to get a signal to laptop/ or PC with the dongle ? As he doesnt want to connect wires, and also wants a wi-fi zone in the house for phones / tablets etc ?????

I assume that you have a Huawei B683 already?

If this is the case, the laptop can connect via Wi-Fi and you need to purchase a Wi-Fi dongle for the PC (around R200) and you'll be up and running with no wires...

ahh, now this sounds like a good idea. he only has the USB dongle with sim. So can the B683 take a sim card ?

Yes, the Huawei B683 will give up to 21Mbps using a MTN/Vodacon/Cell C or Telkom Mobile SIM card.
