mobile broadband

Hello,

Generally speaking, a USB mobile broadband dongle needs software installed on the computer. This could lead to difficulties, unless the manufacturer/supplier has a compatible driver.

There may be another way. A mobile broadband (pocket) hotspot is a separate device The device uses a SIM card. No wired connection to a computer is required. Normally, no special software or drivers. USB would (typically) be used for charging only. The (pocket) hotspot has a built-in Wi-Fi base station, and one would connect to it as one would to a home router, using standard Wi-Fi and a web browser.

If necessary, you may want to check whether your mobile broadband provider could offer a mobile broadband hotspot for a pay-as-you-go SIM card. If not, it could perhaps be worth investigating whether the existing SIM card can be used with a mobile broadband hotspot purchased elsewhere, or whether other providers have combination offers.

Whatever Software and or extensions or Driver are installed Must Be 64 Bit or they will not work. It has ben the same for Catalina. Thee re is no workaround except to contact the Developer of the Software, Driver and get a compatible 64 bit driver.
