Hi,

I have just got a Draytek 2820 router for my home. I have an 02 dongle but i was wondering if i could use the Router as a wireless device so i could use my pc (either through wireless or Lan) and use the wireless for my smart phone. How can i configure the Router to allow me to do this.

I have upgraded the fireware and googled how to configure but USB light just flashed on router.

Any Ideas

First time Poster.

Cheers
