Mobile internet and email

Good one Phil,

We have a program called "Conectify-me" running on my computer. This serves as a mobile hotspot and we can run a number of out devices from it.wirelessly ie a second computer and a tablet.

There is a limited 'free version' but the main module is about $25 per year or $40 for lifetime connectivity.

My daughter found the program (she works in the industry) and Jean has loaded it up on my computer. So this is second hand info - but it works. Try Mr Google

Regards John

We use a Dlink Pocket router this creates our hotspot, we plug in the usb modem dongle and run 2 tablets, 2 mobile phones and a laptop with out any problems.

It has its own inbuilt rechargeable battery so if the signal is week I take the router and dongle outside and jam up an extendable pole about 5m and the signal increased about 2 bars.

It works a treat.

We also have an antenna with a five metre lead and magnetic base - works for both internet and phone signals with an increase of about 2 bars. You just need to buy a small aptch lead to suit each appliance available in Telsta and similia type mobile phone shops.

John

Further to this, have now added an additional document "Managing Files and Photos" which essentially provides tips on setting up Dropbox cloud storage so that you can easily access any of your PC documents and files remotely.

If you are running multiple PC's (eg a desktop PC at home, and a laptop for travel) these will remain automatically in synch.

AND finally how to sort, manage and backup your photos to cloud storage - when you finally get home and turn on your PC, they will 'magically' download automatically to your local hard drive in pre-named folders.
