Ubuntu Networking :: Connecting A Modem Router With A Mobile Broad Band Umts Connection?
Feb 17, 2011
sometimes our ADSL connection gives up and we are left without internet connection for days until the problem gets fixed. I mean by this problem along the phone line. It affects all machines that connect to the internet through a Netgear WIFI Modem Router. I recently tried an alternative when this happens is to use a USB Huawei Mobile Broadband UMTS connection which works when you insert it in 1 laptop. Is there a way i could get the Netgear WIFI modem router to connect on that usb stick or PC that is online on that usb stick and give access to other machines that will want to connect to the web ?
is there a command (set of) which i could use to connect my USB modem while in recovery mode?
what happened?
well, i tried installing Drivers for my ATI VGA and then uninstaled them (in order to install the edgers drivers). soon after the reboot i found out my key board n mouse is not recognized in GUI.
i found a little work around here

That means that you do have keyboard in that mode & there are no seriously misconfigured packages. It's the 'netroot' menu selection & don't use 'sudo' in that mode as you are in a root shell. And while there, ensure that you have established a connection (ping [URL]), and then:
# ping ubuntu.com [if this works, then proceed with the rest] # apt-get update # apt-get upgrade # apt-get install -f
i am using samsung S3310 with aircel when i am connecting new mobile broadband connection my device is not identifying ,so that i cant connect Internet.but everything okay i mean settings in mobile and pc. for same connection i used Nokia mobile its identified and Internet was connected but samsung mobile is not identifying in terminal i typed LSUSB my device is shown in that.
i'm having problems connecting to the internet unless i manually enter the IP info.
automatic DHCP does not work. I'm on a dual boot machine vista/ubuntu 10.04 LTS connecting to the internet through a lynksys wireless g router and a cable modem.
I've been trying to get a USB modem stick to work with Karmic.The modem is the ZTE MF626 HSDPA on a Telstra Next G plan.I've followed all the guides and links on the forums:Have deactivated the CD autorun on the USB stick in XP lsusb is showing "Bus 002 Device 003:ID 19d2:0031 ONDA Communication S.p.A." demsg is showing "usb 2-2: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB1"This seems stable as well, ie checking periodically it doesn't seem to be disconnecting By the way,the blue light indicating network communication/modem active lights up after the device has been plugged in for a second or so.
When I go through Network Connections and add a new mobile broadband connection, there is nothing listed in the "Create a connection for this mobile broadband device" drop-down on the first configuration screen - all the guides I've read say that it should be listed here, but none say any debug steps if it doesn't.Some other guides for older versions of Ubuntu and earlier versions of the modem reference a "/usr/share/hal/fdi/information/20thirdparty/20-zte-mf626.fdi"file which I don't have.
I'm running Lucid xubuntu. i have a netgear WG111v3 usb wireless card. The router and the modem recognize each other,. but the connection drops constantly.Other times it takes many tries to connect. There are 3 windows and one Xbox users in my house, all on the same router. When I spoke with 2 different people at Radio Shack, I was told that the software on the router is Windows based, so the Windows modems get top priority over Linux, hence the dropped signals. I was advised I could do One of three things:
1. Buy another router, one that specifically recognizes every operating system. That way, we all get equal bandwith. 2. Buy an antennae that boosts the signal. 3. Buy a booster for the signal that one cable end plugs into the router,then the device into a power outlet; the other in any power outlet, and then hardwire that to my ethernet card in my computer, so the signal stays constant. This is the output from the terminal:
[Code]....
Based on this information, what would be my best option. I can't run line all the way across the house to my computer; that would take 50-75 feet after winding it's way through the house. I don't use the ethernet card although it's still in the machine. Could it interfere with the signal?
I have a Netgear DG834 ADSL router (v3) which I have used for a couple of years. Prior to that I had a v2 of the same router, but upgraded for the one that supports ADSL 2+ (here in the UK).
Recently I have been having problems with the connection often being dropped, and when I access 192.168.0.1 for the router admin page, when it is not working I get no IP address listed for that of the ISP's server, and sometimes as well the upstream and downstream speeds are listed as 0 kbps.
Usually this was resolved by rebooting the router.
However, for the last couple of days, when using Ubuntu 9.04, the page of the router at 192.168.0.1 will not load. I have tried numerous different browsers, and none of them will give the router admin page.
When I tried booting from a live CD of Fedora 13, the router admin page came up just fine, no problems (although still not getting a proper connection to the Internet).
I was going to try to use the older router I had, but so far, as I cannot access the router admin page in Ubuntu, I have not done so (not had the time, and now I am at work posting this).
So there must be a problem in Ubuntu that is preventing it showing the router's admin page. The Network connection details show that the router has given the PC an IP address of 192.168.0.6 and the DNS servers are listed, so I know that Ubuntu is talking to the router, but it is not allowing me to access its settings in any way.

I just want to tell everyone how good the Garmin/Asus A10 mobile phone is as an internet modem.I am in Australia and Mobile internet is an expensive thing to have. cheapest is dodo but i had a few problems trying out a friends usb modem.Anyway i was in the market for a Gps phone and discover this one. it is Android phone and pretty cheap so far it is very good gps, camera, mp3, and phone is excellent.BUT here is the clincher. when you plug it into the computer, the phone screen lights up and gives you 3 options.
I am using the vizio dual band and it is working quite well with one exception. i can not get it to access the usb network media.( hard drive plugged into usb port on router) it does recognize the the drive being there, it just will not allow me to access it. when i click on it nothing happens.
I recently purchased a Spice 3G phone, which can also be used as a Modem. When I plug it into the USB, the phone starts charging.But when I go to Edit Connections--> Mobile Broadband, I cannot see the MODEM there. The Select the device is not highlighted.
LSUSB command shows: Bus 002 Device 007; ID d324;9003 How do I make it detect so that I can use the phone as Modem.
At Saturday, 23rd October 2010 I bought a USB CDMA Modem named AX manufactured by Alltronix and has series labeled ACM-001. The chipset is Qualcom. It didn't work on My Karmic Koala nor Lucid Lynx. I try to check some condition by writing some command in shell prompt like: tail -f /var/log/messages, lsusb, and modprobe. Here is the results.

I am currently running slackware 13.37 in virtualbox on my Dell 1558. I would really like to install it for real to my HDD to get the speed benefit. My only way to connect to the internet is via my internal Dell UMTS modem. Will this work after the install or do I need to take some precautions before the time and download the right apps files now while I have access?
I have an adsl modem acting as a bridge to my router my setup was working well for more than year now , but then the internet went slow . I set the modem back to PPPoE the problem was with the DNS server of the ISP so using ifup i set the dns t 8.8.8.8 (google) the connection is back , but when i set the modem back as a bridge slow internet does the router know that my dns is 8.8.8.8 or i should set the dns on the router ? I can't see an option to set the dns on the router ( i just enter my username and password from the isp to use PPPoE mode ) by the way i called the isp support they kept telling me to restart , i told them i did but i never restarted my pc . I'm sure if i tell them i'm running linux they will blame the os !
Ist column shows different customers( like N customers are there) , they require different bandwidht links based on some resolution time will be generated and we have to fix this line with in this resolution time , if not before 1 hr for each customer , this has to genetate some alarm and send the SMS to the particular mobile numbers.everythig is there in the GUI like customer , how much BW they want and what is the time duration , only thing we have to do is ,, linking with the GUi and writing some code to send the generated alarms to the mobile numbers specified.

I am making the switch to Ubuntu and, not being home for almost a month, I am on mobile internet and, I would love to get the ability to send and receive text messages back has I had with the Bell Mobile Connect software. I am at our Lake house and it is my only way to stay in contact with my wife while she is at work as we dont have phone here and, well, cell phone is with the wife
I have an old tower that I've installed Ubuntu onto. It connects fine online with a mobile broadband stick. I also have an old wireless router knocking about, and I've been trying to network up my house wirelessly using the tower as a router, if that makes any sense. Long story short, this is my setup
Internet ==> Mobile Broadband ==> Tower ==> Wireless Router ==> Wireless Devices.
I know that it's complicated, but I'm sure that it can be done. I've tried playing around with bind9, and playing with dhcp and the like. I feel that I am close.... but no cigar. how to route all traffic from the router
How do I installed a sprint novatel 3g modem? I see sprint under the mobile broadband tab when I create a new connection, and it shows all the right information, but I never can connect.
I am using ububntu 9.10,and have a cable modem internet connection. All I have is an ethernet cable given to me,and when plugged in a windows machine and fire a browser am redirected to default login page where i can login, but when i plug it into my linux machine,i cant get the same done. In network connections it doesnt shows my autoeth0, i have deleted my existing dsl settings(not autoeth0),made a new wired network,i doubt what should i put into MAC addrs field(i have put my machines mac given by lshw -c network.) What should I put in DHCP client id? Anyways when i click on network connections it says under my wired connections-device not configured properly.
In my attempt to get my USB 3G modem to work on Ubuntu 10.04 netbook edition I have made some progress to the point of getting the driver for it up and running, though connecting to the Internet after defining a profile is an issue. I have followed this ubuntuforums thread simply to get started with the usb modeswitch to get the usb modem identified by the system.
I've recently installed Natty and the only problem I have with it so far is attempting to connect my Huawei E5830 Three Wireless modem via USB and successfully connecting to the Internet from it. I've fiddled around with the network settings and nothing, I've also done some work in the Terminal to try and correct the problem.
I am trying to switch to mobile broadband, Ubuntu 9.10, Huawei E1750 modem, provider Telia Sweden. So far I tried this:
(previous: tried to get started with an Option Icon 550 modem, but could not do it. Ubuntu froze completely, networkmanager refused to see the modem after this. Read somewhere that it is (next to) impossible with Ubuntu, but Huawei is a better chance. Maybe I changed some settings on the way, went and got a Huawei)
-connected modem, nothing happened
-rebooted to Windows Vista, installed modem
-rebooted to Ubuntu networkmanager sees the modem, when I select it, it gives a message 'GSM network, disconnected'
