    If you have an old PC you can leave running use that to host the dongle and then use ICS(Internet connection sharing) to bridge that over to a router.

    You'll never get great pings and probably not speeds either, but it'd work.

    i tried that but speed is 1-2mbps and with router i get 4-5mbps as i am in meath.

    When you say router do you mean the mifi unit?

    Yeah, dongles are junk.

    You could do:

    Mifi - laptop --(ICS via cable)--proper router--Other device 1
    ............................................................|-Other device 2
    ............................................................|-Other device 3
    ............................................................|-Other device 4
