I don't have one of these but I am interested, so I've done some research on the setup, and operation of them.
Below are the Basic Setup instructions (I'm sure you have these, or something similar), as I understand it, "Step 2" is very important (that your EVDO card be "activated" prior to installing it in the router).
I just wanted to post these in case you had skipped a step, or failed to activate the EVDO card.
1. Hook the antenna to the router.
2. Connect your PCMCIA EVDO Card, or phone via USB cable. You need to have already activated your card or phone with your carrier first!
3. Connect the ethernet cable from Port 1 on the router to your computer. This is how you will configure the router on the initial setup.
4. Power the router up.
5. Open your web browser on your computer and go to the address the instructions tell you. You will be prompted to login as “admin”.
6. Run the “Wizard”.
7. Follow all the wizard instructions.
8. Finish, reboot the router, and get ready to start surfing the Internet. Oh, when doing all of this you should be somewhere that is covered by your Wireless network provider. That always helps!
Good Luck
