Can I setup wifi through an aircard?

Hi,

You would need a mobile router with wireless (Wi-Fi) capabilities (similar to this one), with support for the USB mobile broadband modem in question. Alternatively, a special adapter (like this) combined with a "normal" Wi-Fi router (such as the AirPort Extreme base station).

Hi spncity,

After our chat in the Bluetooth forum, I've had a further thought...

Your Macbook has wi-fi built-in, so you may be able to share the internet connection from the Aircard to other computers via the wi-fi in your MacBook.

Open the Sharing system preferences pane, and check the box alongside *Internet Sharing*.

Then in the *Share your connection from:* pop-up, choose the connection for your Aircard.

Then under *To computers using:* check Airport.

This should allow your MacBook to act as a Wi-fi router for other wi-fi enabled devices.

(If your other computers don't have wi-fi, you might be able to do the same thing, but for computers using Ethernet or Firewire with the appropriate cable between the two computers.)
