i want to buy a wifi card or usb card [preferred]

the idea is to use my desktop internet connection [EVDO] with wifi and then use wifi to connect my phone/phones

i want a cheap and portable solution so that i can access internet on my phone/other devices

EVDO--->WIFI---->phone wifi [Dell XCD35]

i am totally new to wifi so a little elaborated suggestion will be preferred
willing to buy online so any link will be appreciated with possible discount coupon
 
Hi kartikoli,

We can answer to your query properly if you can describe your current condition of broadband connection at your home a bit. Is it wifi one or just ethernet one?

Also, what is your phone model? Does it have Wifi?

Most of the Wifi enabled devices can connect to a Wifi Access-point and directly access internet without use of your computer :)

So you might consider this option too.

Also a card you should be looking for is something like this: belkin wifi | eBay
 
my phone : Dell XCD 35 [wifi enabled] Dell XCD35 | Dell India

my NET connection : BSNL EVDO [dialup wireless device ... work on CDMA technology ] connects through usb using dialup network

so i want a wifi solution which can receive internet from evdo and then pass on to other wifi enabled devices [i have read that reverse tatering is possible for android phones]

EDIT: i get good speed on my evdo 1mbps~2mbps and i am planning other android phone as well
 
What you require is using your computer as an access point for other Wifi devices. That is possible when can setup an ad-hoc network with share mode enabled.

(ad-hoc -> computer to computer network connection)

I tried the same with a Reliance Netconnect+ and my laptop. By laptop have in built Wifi cards and with very easy settings you can create a ad-hoc network.

Sometimes they don't work, but in my case it actually worked due to unknown reason :D

Here is what I did:

- Connected my Netconnect+ to internet.

- In control panel -> network and sharing center -> adapter settings(on left panel)

selected the netconnect+ adapter and the ad-hoc (that I created for sharing)

- right-click and select 'bridge connections'

- wait for sometime and your internet will be relayed over wifi :)

I could find this closest to your situation: i want standard way to create an adhoc connection - Microsoft Answers

Now you need to have a wifi card first for the computer you want to use an access point in order to be able to create an ad-hoc network.
 
thanks appreciated a detailed info

could you link some wifi cards please

i would prefer usb card as i dont have much space in my cabby

Yeah, now you have to finalize on a wifi card, best of luck
 
just had a doubt with connectify,
