Rolling Your Own Mobile Hotspot
By MaxW on May 12, 2008 in Travel DIY
As you can see from our main travel page, we are constantly updating scripts, Like the GPS capabilities on display on the RV trip travel blog, and being able to upload photos and posts live while on the road. We also have real-time streaming video, but are currently using it sparingly do to limited on-the-road bandwidth.
Since those scripts only run on Windows XP and i use a MacBook Pro for my main computer, I had to come up with a creative solution using a single Sprint EVDO card with multiple computers.
I took a bunch of gear and my older Sony Vaio laptop and made a mobile wifi hotspot powered by EVDO.
So this is how I did it.
