Telstra Mobile Wi-Fi 4G

[srackley]

Hi, does the Telstra Mobile Wi-Fi 4G device have an LAN port? Would i be able to connect my Foxtel HD box to it? I would like to have all my services with Telstra but unfortunately because of the FTTH connection in my building, Telstra ADSL/Cable services are not available at this stage (My Foxtel is via satellite) My current FTTH service provider is REALY bad!! What can I do?

If you have the SACW760S model, then you would need to purchase the docking cradle (retails between $240 and $300, depending on the store you go to). Check it out here.

I would strongly suggest contacting somebody from Foxtel to see whether or not you can use Mobile Broadband with your Foxtel HD Box, because there may be certain limitations or restrictions (ie: you may only be able to do it if the modem is associated to a BigPond Mobile Broadband Plan, not a Telstra Mobile Broadband Plan)

I hope this points you in the right direction

The Aircard cradle linked above can be purchased directly from Telstra (over the phone or Live Chat) for only $199.

I personally have one and it works great.

With regards to using it with Foxtel, there is no reason it won't work, but be aware that you may find that not all the content you want to access is unmetered, and that Wireless Broadband is variable in performance from one moment to the next.
