• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

What is the new Cradlepoint? Is it still Cradlepoint?

Just thinking about this thread -

I use an older Dell D630 laptop, and had a bunch of parts husks sitting around. I noticed that it had internal room for two WiFi radios, and installed a second board. Well, there it is. Pops up another radio/connection in the connections manager. So there's another way to ride on more than one connection at a time. If I put my Sprint 3G card in the computer, that is available, too, making 3.
 
Is your Sprint a SIM card? I've upgraded the WiFi card in a notebook before and the form factors are quite different. Maybe your Dell had a slot for SIM cards...
 
No. My Sprint card is a Sprint Sierra Wireless Aircard-402. It's an EVDO Rev. A device, so 3G, and the form factor is PCMCIA. Sprint's the last US major carrier still running their CDMA-based 3G network.

I mean, though, the Dell laptops of that era have two internal spots for a standard WiFi radio, but only one of them is filled, so you have a place to put a second WiFi radio, and can maintain more than one connection at a time.
