I’m not 100% possitive about this since i have never used it. But i would think if you have a broadband connection, you can connect to any hotspot or area with unsecured wifi. But if its like a verizon broadband hookup or AT&T, then you should be able to connect to the net anywhere thats within range of a cellular tower, which is most places now. If your in a city you should be able to hook up, but if your out in the country or in the stix you might have more trouble. AGAIN, this is just how i think it works, not 100% since ive never used. Good luck!

No, that router only allows you to get internet within its range…probably only inside your home. If you go outside, you’ll need a connection to a cellular service provider or find a wifi hotspot to connect the laptop.

No, not anywhere. Only places that have a public wifi network. Most libraries and larger urban areas have wide-area wifi. Restaurants such as Starbucks, McDonalds, Panera Bread, Hooters, Rafferty’s… all offer wifi to their customers, just to name a few. Interstate service plazas and hotels almost always have wifi for their guests.

Mobile broadband is becoming more widespread and less expensive these days – you might want to avoid the guessing game and get one.

Yes, that should be perfectly fine, BUT you should check that you will get an adequate signal at the location where you will have your desktop.

Also remember this will be a lot more expensive to run than a wired or cable connection. You will also find that most mobile providers have a fairly restrictive “fair usage policy” which will limit the amount you can download per month.

A computer doesn’t know whether it is moving or not, it just knows what plugs are connected. So if you can get internet to your laptop, it’s not a problem with desktop PC, they’re running the exact same operating system, which for most people is Windows XP. If this place has no landline, you should make sure you get cellular signal also; it’s hard to imagine a place that has wireless access and no landline access…
