Here's what we got. An antenna! Doug spent quite a while getting it anchored firmly on the roof and then ran the cable down through the window. We need to find an extension cable so he can bring it through the roof properly and connect it inside. But this works for now.
We also got this. An amplifier! The antenna cable comes through this lovely box to amplify the wireless signal to our router.
What router you ask? Our new cradlepoint MBR1000 router. Isn't it a work of art? And finally.........the new Verizon USB760 modem, that plugs into the router and gives us blazing fast internet access.
This all came with mountain of paperwork and manuals and tiny parts. It wasn't long before I was on the phone with the 3G Store (from whom we purchased our treasures) for technical support. The modem wouldn't install on the computer and the software didn't work. But thanks to the wonders modern technology and a patient support technician, we were able to get everything up and working. I am posting on a stable, quick signal now.
Life is good! (with a little bit of patience)
