This was the reasons why i was scared of this MTN Wifi, am in a pain now, this MTN people told me that the MTN MIFI can connect up to 5systems,both laptop and desktop, and i made it clear that i am using it for like 5 desktop and they said its would, and that once i have install the MIFI modern to the 5 systems, then the one that the MIFI is will be the server, now, i have done it, i connect the server and its connects, but i tried to connect the rest, for were, i was wondering what could have happened, i tried and tried so much, and by this time its was already and the MTN office would have been closed by then, So i had to call a technician who revealed that there is no way WIFI can connect to desktop, because desktop doesn't have WIFI enabled, and that its was only Laptops that can connect to that WIFI, and offwhich i connected easily with my laptop, Now my problem is that, this money that i have spent for this MTN MIFI-N21,000 is waiste, Because its cannot connect the desktop and this their worker didn't tell me that its doesn't connect to destop, and right now, some computer technicians are telling me to Buy Wireless card installed to each of those 5systems, before its can be able to receive that MIFI, and this wireless card is N4000, each.... I can't afford to spend another extral 20k+21k to make it 41k,all in the name of making my systems broswe..... I don't know what to do next.... any help.

There is nothing you can do unless you buy the wireless card. But why did you waste a whole 21k for that mifi device just to share your network? when you can easily do it with a free software. Yes! That's what I'm using.

@op i think you fell for MTN's marketing 'sweet-mouth.' I've learnt never to trust any promo from MTN except i confirm what they say is true from those who've really tried it. Solution: get the cards if you must connect those systems.

Well its was so sad, I paid them 21k for MIFI, but when i got back at them to tell them why did they deceive me to buy the MIfi, and that i dont need it because its for laptop and that i need my refund back, they said its wasn't possible say i don buy ham, i don buy ham be dat, they can't do anything and beside i have already activated and started using the first free 3gig browsing....with so much arguement and shouting, I have to move ahead, Re enforce, and come back, to start the war, But at the end of the day, They gave me N13,000 and they took the MIFI back, Now i loose N8000 freely to them, what could i have done?, IF we start to they scatter there now, Before you know, Person go go see himself for Oko. Naim mine maintain jeje collect the N13,000 and inside the 13k, I come still buy beer for men like 2k......Una see wetin MTN use me do?

@Poster, I don't see any wrong done to you by the MTN. For them to have convinced you that it can serve up to 5 systems, be it a Desktop or a Laptop is none of theirs. I'm sure they'll assume you already have the Wireless card installed on the Desktop computers .
So I think the problem was from your inexperience. Before a Desktop can make use of any Wireless function, a wireless card, which includes a USB receiver will have to be installed first. Unlike most Laptops that already have the WLAN features pre-installed.
You'll have to get the Wireless cards installed on those systems before you can make use of that MTN MIfI.

Then tell me, how many destop have you ever bought that has inbuilt Wireless card? abeg go sleep jor, I don already fight the fight finish,

Get the wireless card for the five desktops of buy five laptops so as nt to waste ur 25k...just kiddin. Bt is there no way u can connect it thru LAN? Just a suggestion

buy a usb wireless receiver and plug to you desktop. its as easy as that. cost about 3k

Thanks ya all, Well what i did, was the free 3gig data suscriptions they gave me in return of the 8k they deducted from my 21k, the 13k they refunded back to me, i used it to hire some engineers, even network 8 desktop systems with lans, I bought Switch, and lans cable of like 70yards, sharing the 3gig, so far i have been enjoying the cafe, But i am thinking of using either Glo,visa or starcomms, becos sometimes he go enter mtn head, the network go dey speed and before you know it, Customers will not want to buy more time, so i want to use network that will be moderate, Shey una code?

You really dont have any choice here you should've known that WIFI means wireless network and except yur desktops have wireless cards you can use them, mtn didn't 'guy' cos they could've imagined yu knew what yu were saying...so you just have to get the wireless cards or look for who will buy your mifi
