Do you plug the modem into your box directly or through a cable? If it's the cable method try different cables. If it's not a cable try a cable - the plane of the built in antennae may not be optimally orientated. Also, if possible, borrow someone's Vodaphone modem that is known to have a good signal in a given coffee shop - try that with your SIM in it. You may need to change your connection settings slightly if it uses a different device file - but everything else should stay the same, and most modems will be detected and auto-flipped by your version of usb-modeswitch. I'd suggest you use the described rig to test at home so that you can rule out (prove) it's not other factors causing problems (there are many). > > The AT commands I used are from this page: > > http://forum.huawei.com/jive4/thread.jspa?threadID=320231&tstart=50&orderStr=26 Thanks I've added that to my reference files. > > The response is "OK", but still I get the green light. Then you are locked to 3G, thus non-availability of 3G *will* causes connection drops. Have you considered just tethering to your mobile phone? You can probably use your modems SIM in it if it's not locked to a different carrier. > > Just two quick questions: > a) Is the 3G-locking a one-off process, or do I have to repeat it every > time I connect?
