PC Card Slot? Does the 901 have (or need) a traditional PC card slot, for example, to connect to the internet like a cell phone in remote areas, where there is no hotspot close by?

The 901 does not have a PCMCIA or ExpressCard slot. It does have several USB ports, which can be used to connect to cellular broadband devices (such as the "USB727" from Verizon, for example).

it has wireless card inside the PC tower, but not reliable. When I used it, the PC lost wireless connection every hours and I had to remove and connect it again. My laptop on the same room didn't have such problem.it is most possible to be the hardware issue

If the "air card" is a normal USB type that connects to a cell tower for the internet, then it should operate like my Sprint card and AT&T; card did/does. The MBR95 does not need a computer to work. It just takes a power connection (supplied) and any USB wireless modem. The router energizes the card/modem then sends the wifi signal out to your wireless or ethernet receiving device. If you are thoroughly confused, then call Cradlepoint. Hope this helps.

This isn't what is known as an "air card" that taps into a cellular network. It is used to connect to a local router that provides a wireless connection.

Yes I put the sim card out of my broken sierra 885 usb modem and plugged it into my laptop. It installed the connection agent and I was up and surfing. I also plugged in into my cradlepoint 3g/4g wireless router and it connected with no problems.

I have an AT & T air card (at least that is what the guy at AT & T store calls it) It is a USB plug in device. Plug it into the the zoom unit just the same as I would a computer and it gives me wireless access throughout the house for computers, printers, and kindles. Very easy and works well for me

I'm no computer tech, but I clicked on the "Start" button on my computer, and then clicked on "about your computer" link. I was able to access a diagram of the insides of my computer, showing where the extra PCI slots are. I was using windows XP at the time, and I already had the Service Packs 1 and 2 installed in my computer, so I had no trouble installing and using the 5-port USB card. Now I have an HP Notebook and Windows 7, so I don't use the old desktop much. But my husband continues to use it and has no problem. Hope that helps.

No, there is no SIM card. If you have the older model HotSpot @ Home router as I did, the SIM is cleverly hidden under an access plate on the underside. Simply pull the access plate to reveal the SIM. T-Mobile tech support said that you can also go to any store and get a SIM.

There is only one slot, but you can purchase a 2G really cheap in Amazon. Also, after you install the 2g, it won't detect it at first, you need to enter the BIOS and out, so it will kick in.

Nothing I can think of. I usually tether my phone with this card or vice versa without any problems. I am able to connect other devices to do other things besides internet connection without any problems.

Is this a cryptic way of saying no? It seems like the P990 is the only one that has WiFi right now, is that right?

Does not take the place of a wireless card, this device only extends the range that allows you to pick up internet.

There is a printer USB slot to hook up directly to your computer (the printer cable is not included). There is not a regular USB, or any other, slot to connect directly to the internet however.

I couldn't say. Might depend on the modem. A word of warning with PCI-E to Mini PCI-E conversion devices like this : Normal MINI-PCI-E spec has both a 1x PCI lane and USB2.0 lines integrated. This devices is PCI signaling only. Your modem will not work if it needs the USB as well, nor will it work if your WWAN/cell device assumes the SIM is handled by the motherboard / adapter etc. You will have to check the specs.

That is correct. This is an antennae as well as a usb wireless Internet card. As long as your computer has a usb drive you are all set.

No wifi on borad AFAIK. And you don't have to put one on its pci express. Why not get a USB wireless adapter instead?

No built-in wifi, you'll need either a PCI card or USB dongle if you want WiFi.
