Hi, I recently bought a Linksys WRT160N Access Point but I want other devices to connect to the internet through it. I don't have DSL internet but I access the internet through a 3G data card which connects the computer to the internet through the USB port. So I wanted to know if someone could help me by telling me how do I setup a wireless internet connection, in other words when I connect the 3G data card to the internet then I want the access point to provide access to the internet to wireless devices such as PSP, cellphone, etc....

What 3G service are you using? The utility you use to manage to connection on your computer probably has a share-connection feature. The setup I see is your WRT160N hooked up to your PC's ethernet, and like you said, the 3G card hooked up to your USB.

I'm using a Hauwei E220 which is a 3G data card, but apparently I cannot find the share-connection feature as yet. I only use the interface of the access point to change setting, so how do I possible link up the two together?
