    Hi All,

    This is my first thread here.I've searched all over but couldn't find any problem like i'm facing.

    First of all, i've ACER 5740G model NON 3G model.

    This has a free pci-e slot available and it works.

    So i ordered NOVATEL E850D model which has inbuilt sim card reader.

    When i connected it to pci-express and check with everest its being reported as its on USB 1.1

    But the real problem is with the signal. most of the time i'm stuck with 40% signal.

    This is because i found that the AUX port is not getting any signal.


    I tested with same antenna connected to MAIN gets 40% but connected to AUX with 0 signal..

    Did any one else tried this 3g card. if so can u check if it picks any signal if only AUX is connected.

    Regards

    Are you sure you connected antenna on proper ports?

    I am using 3G USB modem and it works like a charm... I was considering to buy such card since I have one free pci express slot so any feedback is welcome ;)
