Does Zorin support a usb 3G wireless device...( Wireless Broad band)?

I tried connecting it, did appear in Wireless Broad Band but would not connect?

Thanks.

Hi,

please start here:

Normally left click on the network icon and connect is enough if your device is already installed!!.

I does. I have tried too many sticks.

Just one piece of advise. If you are using Zorin 6 which is based in ubuntu 12.04 plug the usb dongle in a USB2 port ! (Not a USB3). There appears to be a bug with broadband dongles and USB3 ports. Trust me...
