I am considering getting Sprint Mobile Broadband for my PC LapTop as the speed seems reasonable.
What I don’t know is this:
1. When I log on to the network from my PC Laptop am I assigned a new IP address each time? I don’t mean internally (like a router ip being assigned with DHCP) I mean from Sprint like you would if you had a dial up modem? Like if you were to go to whatsmyip.org and check. I’m asking because I want to do what I am asking next below and wonder if I need to buy a “static” IP?
As an example what I am asking is if I log in from my house would I get the same IP each time but a different IP from say the local coffee shop that is say 3 miles away?
2. I have been reading about the Kyrocera router option that allows you to use the Broadband card with a home network. Can I use this router to set up a local network that runs on wires and is not wireless? (I don’t want to buy wireless cards for the desktops) I mean could I replace my old netgear router/switch and hook my desktop PC’s to the network? I know this would be slower than cable but supposedly faster than DSL and it would offer a single solution to all my Internet Needs. I have heard that Sprint is okay with “unlimited” use. I would only use it a couple hours a day and not for gaming or for music, just business surfing and maitaining a couple websites. Does anyone know if this router is upgradable via software as faster versions of the EVO become available? I’m not sure what is meant by it being only 1x.
Any help would be appreciated.
