apologies if this has already been answered a gazillion times but I just joined the site..:
I have a 32gig Playbook and can get onto the net via wi-fi no problem, however how about when I'm not in a hotspot?
I have a 3 contract with a dongle.
I know I can't just plug this dongle into the Playbook, but if I plug the dongle into a portable router would the Playbook pick up this as a wi-fi signal?
Thanks muchly

Should, there's not any technical reason as to why it shouldn't as long as that dongle is giving off a WiFi signal.

have you thought about getting a mifi device?

Why not if the router is putting out a wifi signal?

You can also plug the dongle into a laptop and use Connectify, a software wifi generator, which works to generate a signal using your laptops wifi card. There are small routers which will accept 3g dongles. For example:

Graham... it will work just fine. I used a USB wireless dongle with a portable router for a couple of years with my laptop and then my PB after I got it.
Then with my last contract I switched to a MiFi and it works fine too.

Do you have a BB phone? Use Bridge and your phone to get out.

Another option.

I'm using my old nokia 6700 classic to tether via bluetooth without a glitch, class 10 device if I remember correctly and cheaper than any mifi solution, I believe.
