different signal strength than Vodafone Mobile Broadband.

A software update is available for the DNE which fixes this issue:

Please refer to the table in the chapter “Supported Devices” to check if your
device supports NDIS 6.2 on Windows 7. If it does, the software update is
needed.

is a Microsoft bug which will be fixed in Windows 7 Service Pack 1.

relevant section of the Help file is displayed on the Help/Diagnostics window.

troubleshooting topics for all languages.
 [013] Vodafone Mobile Broadband does not support more than one attached
device at the same time.
 [014] For some WLANs, automatic authentication is done as soon as the
connection is established. This authentication needs some data from the SIM
card. If the SIM card is inserted for the first time, there is a possibility that the
data is not ready for successful authentication. Workaround: disconnect and
connect again.

dependent on the server side as well, and can last up to 30 seconds.

No phonebook import possible if contacts contain special Unicode characters.
No phonebook export (add contacts) to SIM / device possible if contacts on SIM /
device contain special Unicode characters.
