790S to replace a 3G21WB

Hi after a nasty electrical storm my old 3G21WB with external antenna died. After a lot of frustrating calls to Telstra they sent me a replacement, a Netgear Aircard 790S.

My old modem was connected to the PC via LAN, I do not have a wi-fi outlet.

Is this modem compatable? Do i need to have a wi-fi outlet installed to use this card?

Also the old antenna is 3G Telstra, will this still connect?

I hope I have placed this in the correct spot.

Thanks for any help.

Reece.

Hello Reecek

If you able to use WIFI instead of LAN it will work just fine but if your looking to have LAN ports you would need to get the Netgear Aircard cradle this gives the card Ethernet slots. You can also tether with usb to the computer if you cant use wifi.

  Ah, the usb will connect to it, that is good, I don't have to get a wi-fi card installed.
  Thanks for the help Darren, any idea about using the old antenna?
