3 mobile broadband not working (“No Network”) on Windows 7…

October 26th, 2009 Posted in Windows 7

Well, we moved into our new house this weekend….so I am pretty tired.  I cannot believe how much stuff we have managed to accumulate over a relatively short period of time!  So, now we are living in our very own building site. :)   The front room is currently made up of some scaffolding, two garden chairs and a TV (with Sky HD which got installed this morning…..got to get the priorities right people).

Because of the move, I currently dont have a landline and consequently, there is no broadband! I didn’t this that this would be a problem because I have borrowed a mobile broadband USB dongle from 3……not a problem that is until I plugged it in! 

Once I had plugged in the USB modem and installed the software, I simply got the message “No Network”, but the light on the device was green??  After several more tries of re-installing the device drivers and a few more ideas I decided to visit a friend a use their wi-fi to look for a solution. 

Turns out that if you want to use your 3mobile broadband device on windows 7, you need to download drivers BEFORE you upgrade!  Alternativly, if you are like me and are on Windows 7 already, you too can find a friend with an internet connection and download the updated Windows 7 Only drivers from Three here.

    I had this problem.
    I downloaded the driver and installed it as per the 3 mobile intructions without luck.
    I then clicked on the properties of the 3 mobile icon and changed the comtablity mode
    of the .exe from XP to Vista service pack2 and it sprang back to life immediatley
    The exe is
    “Program Files\3 Mobile Broadband\3Connect\Wilog.exe”
