Help
Hey Guys
Hope you can help, am new to the world of mac and was wondering if I got Time Capsule Bas Station, would I be able to use my 3G dongle in the printer usb port to connect to the internet with it. I have noticed that with most Netcomm routers I am able to do this. I am unfortunate in that I am classified as being in a broadband black hole and 3g is the only way I can connect. Having a base station such as Time Capsule would eliminate the need for a separate hard drive and base station and maintain a wireless network, or am I looking the wrong way at things.
Your help would be appreciated.
Thankyou for you time
John

The USB port on the Time Capsule is just for a printer or external hard drive. If you want to share your 3G connection, you'll need to get a 3G Wi-Fi router. There are a few different options that will let you plug in a dongle. Or you can get one that takes a SIM card, and doesn't need the dongle.
