broadband antenna for laptop


My area south of Cabo Pulmo now apparently has reception from a telcel tower for cell phone and internet. I'll be going down this winter, and I try to arrive with supplies needed for my brief visit. I am told I'll need to get a telcel broad band antenna for my laptop, and purchase time...I guess. I am barely functionable on computer.

1) any one know an online site to purchase these?
2) any one know a site that might educate me on how to set up my laptop...i.e. install telcel time on it (have Asus netbook)

I normally drive to a hill top and power off my car, and had been paying for reception from a neighborhood system that no longer exists.

The best way to set up the Banda Ancha is to get a 3g/4g router that you can put the Telcel sim card into and create a wireless network so you can move around your property and use various devices without having the Telcel dongle taking up your USB port. If you are interested, I have a GlobeSurferIII that I purchased to use with my Telcel Banda Ancha, but never used because we ended up switching to a different system that doesn't use the cell tower, that I'd be willing to sell at a substantial discount. If you use your computer much, be sure and get the 10Gb plan or you will constantly run out of saldo.
