You need

1. Dish
2. 10 Feet Usb cable
3. Usb self powered Hub
4. A Long Stick
5. Screw driver, Few screws
6. plastic Gum Tape
7. plastic cover

Step 2: How it works

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FO7/ZT9K/GJC3PCGK/FO7ZT9KGJC3PCGK.LARGE.jpg)

If you are siting inside and dont get any 3g signal at all, dont worry i have a fix
for you, im located in a low altitude area (3g blacked out, as per the service
provider my area is under progress !! since 6 months for 3g plan) and 3 km
away from the nearest 3g Tower.
I m using BSNL Huawei 3.6mbps modem and i use to get the regular GSM
signal only which is not worth, but use to get the UMTS/HSDPA with a 1 single
bar when i take the laptop out of my house witht he modem connected.

So i decided its worth to put the modem outside my house and have a usb
extender connected(10 ft).
but if you are using more than a 5 feet usb cable your computer cannot supply
enough power to it so you need to add a useb self powered hub to make the
long usb cable active.

Step 3: Preparing the Dish !!! Yummy!

Take a a foot 2 feet longX1/2 inch width stick and cut one of its edge in a
slanting direction so that there when you attach the dish to this stick the dish is
facing up slightly. make 2 holes on the stick in a 45 degrees angle and put the
dish and tighten the screws.

I Have used a plastic cover to protect my 3g modem from bad weather and
wind as show in the picture make sure the plastic cover you use is transparent
and put the cover after you connect it to the usb cable

Step 5: Wrap it up!!

Fix the preapared dish antenna to the highest spot that you can reach and you
should know which direction is the nearest 3g tower located and face the dish
towards it, even a small misalignment can cost you a 1 bar of signal. I found a
spot by running around my house holding the dish. Finally fixed it next to outside
my bedrooms secondary door.
Connect the the long usb cable to the Hub and hub to your computer. happy
Browsing with good signal strength.

The power issue can be solved

(/member

1) They sale 10 ft heavy duty USB cable, for printers and the like, use one.

2) Run an extra power cable and spliced into the USB cable, or Run two 10
foot USB cable and join them together at your modem.

One thing I would add to this is that some USB power sources can't handle
(/member 10ft of cable. There's just too much draw from the modem. In my experiments,
/marsrover/)
keep it under 1ft to keep the card from crashing every 2 seconds.
