Hi,

I got confused when I ordered my kindle dx (graphite colored) and thought it had wifi support. Whispernet does not reach where I live, so I have no network access, unless I drive into town.

I know next to nothing about 3g. Is there something that can plugin to my LAN that broadcasts and receives the 3g signal so that I can have network access?

Someone pointed out AT&T's microcell:

But I can't tell if they are saying that you need AT&T service, because you need it, or if it's like someone saying "use 2 cups of lady brannaghans slug paste", when any ordinary slug paste would do.

Do you know?
