what is a hsdpa wlan router?

coz i wanna change screamyx..dun want to use it anymore

Hi
You can check DLINK DIR 451, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=of...DIR+451&spell=1
You need to slot the HSDPA or 3G card inside the router and you can share your 3G connection.

The WLAN HSDPA router will set you back to around RM800-900.This excludes the HSDPA PC CARD which is about the same price.

Both add up?You're going to spend about RM2000 just for a wireless internet connection.
Serious a not?

mmm, router RM 599 + PCMCIA HDSPA CARD = RM 200,
price might be cheaper now..

thnx for the link


y do i need a hsdpa pc card?



the hsdpa router only cannot r?y need a pc card?

hey.... i also have some questions to ask... what is the different between 3G and HSDPA... a phone with HSDPA.. what does it means ?

im using maxis 138 pack rite now which can detect hsdpa signal...it's the fastest signal for wireless connection rite now in malaysia

If i'm not mistaken, HSDPA is High Speed 3G. If you're subscribe to Maxis broadband within Klang Valley, Penang (and several other area - check the website), you get the HSDPA speed. Whereas places like my hometown in Kuantan, we get 3G speed. Well, from my experience, not much difference. In fact, I surf faster in Ktn compared to when im in KL! Heh~

But seriously ppl, start abandoning Streamyx today.

just a reminder to anyone who's interested with maxis broadband (or celcom), check your setting before you start blaming maxis (again, or celcom). hehe. sometimes, the default setting is only set to detect edge and gprs. so, when u'r connected, it's slow to death. so, u need to select the setting to only detect 3G and higher.

Dlink Dir-451 can get for RM460 at sri com ...

plus normal huawei E220 usually RM700...

so around RM1200 for the accessories ..

Over a thousand just to get a connection which is good for only a few hundred kbps and dreadful response rates?No thanks.

Get Streamyx and buy yourself a enterprise grade wireless router with gigabit ethernet

1st thing u must remember, ISP is stand for Internet Service Provider...

No ISP , you can't get any internet...

So , even you have the hsdpa wlan router or hsdpa usb modem or whatever is calls... you cant online with subscribe to any ISP in malaysia...

There is many HSDPA wireless broadband package out there, like maxis, celcom, izzit, surf with you...

You will get a free HSDPA modem from your ISP, if you use their service...no need to buy a costly hsdpa modem...

Jeremy, what modem are you using. That's sure fast for 384 package. I'm using 640 package. The most I can get is 600kbps.

no need to buy WLAN router, I subcribed Maxis Broadband , they will provide with the HSDPA's modem, then u can connect it to the normal wifi router to use it within your network.

HI, how you link between your HSDPA modem and your WIFI router? As I know normally HSDPA modem is USB or PCMCIA interface, and the WIFI router is taking RJ-45 (LAN) input, unless your WIFI router taking USB input as well??

hmmm..., big like a cake type modem...the faster speed become history liao... at kepong , faster can get 1MB above, but only at morning...night speed very poor...normaly i online at night, morning got fast speed also no use...

Got 1 type hsdpa modem is big like a cake....that is using RJ45 port de...im using now...

hmm.. HSDPA vs 3G..
HSDPA also called 3.5G, as for the number shown.. 3.5 is faster than 3G.
the speed wise download with 3.5G (HSDPA) can go up to 1MB++ while 3G will go lesser than 1MB for sure. bear in mind the download is fast but the upload speed is killing you.

regarding the HSDPA router vs HSDPA USB modem..
HSDPA router, is just a router comes with SIM CARD slot to connect the router to 3G/HSDPA as your WAN connection and have routing function e.g. NAT, filtering for many PC to connect, and you don't need a HSDPA USB modem when you have the HSDPA router.

while HSDPA USB modem is normally for the need of portable use e.g. connecting to laptop while you need internet connection regardless where ever you are...

so if you are looking for a HSDPA connection for internet and share along with your housemate.. please choose HSDPA router.

hi all.

1. hsdpa is also known as 3.5g, which max speed in malaysia so far is 3.6mbps, while 3g is also known as umts, max speed is 384kbps.

2. hsdpa router is just a router. no modem. thats why u need hsdpa datacard (pcmcia card) as a modem. insert simcard in the hsdpa pcmcia then insert that pcmcia into the router. (if you using 3g pcmcia card then the max speed is only 384kbps, thats why you need hsdpa pcmcia card).

3. hsdpa modem is NOT only pcmcia or usb but also got normal LAN modem. only maxis provided LAN modem for basic, advaced and power package. so you can connect this LAN modem to the normal wifi router.

4. isp = you can use digi and celcom with the hsdpa router. but not maxis. maxis broadband simcard is locked with the modem supplied by maxis only. cant use on other device. but maxis postpaid or hotlink prepaid simcard can, bear in mind the charges are so huge!

maxis broadband = rm68 monthly, unlimited
maxis postpaid = 10sen per 10kb or rm99 monthly, unlimited
hotlink prepaid = 10sen per 10kb

digi broadband = rm66 monthly, unlimited
celcom broadband = rm68 monthly, unlimited

5. let see the estimated starter cost for the device:
hsdpa pcmcia card rm400 + hsdpa router rm600 = rm1000
hsdpa modem provided by maxis (free) + normal wifi router rm120 = rm120

6. and now, maxis also provide hsdpa modem + router in 1 device (4 port lan + wifi), rm158 per month, unlimited.
the good thing about this device is only need 1 power point for plug (like hsdpa router), while LAN modem + normal wifi router need 2 power point.

good comparison

thanks ~

but the most important thing before using wifi broadband is, check the coverage in your place 1st ~!!!

hey bro.. i have sumthing to share..

how abot the xsbox r4v.. i thinks it more powerful than DIR 451

i'm not sure if xsbox r4v powerful than dir 451.

but, 1 for sure is xsbox r4v no need other device (dir 451 need pcmcia card).

or, you can try huawei e960 (which is also offered by maxis).

info @ maxis website
info @ huawei website

for u guys who want to know more about xsbox r4v, can go here

er..juz wondering..
can i somehow sambung/connect the usb modem (as in mxs 3g usb) to my wifi router (as in aztech wifi router,which use rj45..)?

or shd i buy a wifi router w/ usb?if so,how to config?
thnx in advnce!

You can but its gonna be a tedious job. First you'll have to buy a router which supports openWRT and has a usb port (hint hint that asus router , i can't remember its model). Then you'll have to fetch the right packages , run through some scripts and configure it. once you have done it would work.

http://www.mynetsavvy.info/huawei-e220-on-...l-500g-premium/

http://www.umtslink.at/3g-forum/showpost.p...907&postcount=8

so its possible !

I got the hardware ie Asus WL-500gP and Huawei E220. Plan to try out the firmware this weekend and see how the result go...Let report back here..

i connect my maxis zte modem to aztech wifi router directly, no need to configure anything ~ can online wifi already

@ first i can faham crystal clear on 1st website..but on the 2nd,err...maybe sum1 cud transl8 it?
i no speak deutsch!!!
btw mikelanding,hows ur lab experiment?gud or not?

since you want to share your broadband, connect it to your wifi router, so it should be located at 1 place, usually inside a house, not in a move (mobile), right?

so, downgrade your usb package to zte lan modem package and just connect the zte lan modem to your wifi router. done ~

Added on May 13, 2008, 9:12 pmyou already have your wifi router. dont buy anything else.

usb package rm138, downgrade to zte lan modem package rm98, so you save rm40

Hi there, i am using the Huawei e220 usb frm maxis.... connected it to D-link 451 HSDPA router and it works great, now i can connect my PSP,my PDA and my desktop at one go...

this is the one which Maxis give for free..

http://www.huawei.com/policy/simpleres.do?...63&type=abouthw

HSDPA WLAN Router...

woah? never know that d-link 451 can support usb device as a 3G modem, thought only pcmcia card, while the usb port at the back is to connect via usb cable to computer/laptop which dont have lan port but have usb ports

anyway, thanks for the info & congrats!

Added on May 17, 2008, 7:06 pmmention already before, cost u rm158 per month and, when terminated, return it back to maxis

I am looking for wireless broadband router for my business... I consider to buy VigSys VR20 HSDPA wireless router...

Anyone try it before? Need your advice... Thanks a lot!!

wow..so u mean the usb port can put usb modem..is dat rite?& i mean, any usb modem?
(n i thought dat the usb port is juz for a printer or external hdd..shared by anyone who connects there..)

Anyone knows what's the difference between VigSys VR20 wireless router & huawei E960 wireless gateway? Which one should I buy for business use?

ya you can, but then the router is default for celcom. if you are going to get this router to connect maxis bb it's advice to email d-link to get the router setting. by stock it support huawei E220 usb modem but not maxis network, so you have to change the setting. 3 minutes job oni.

maxisbb (maxis broadband) simcard is sim locked, cant be use on other modem than supplied by maxis.

if using maxis normal postpaid simcard (rm99 monthly) then sure can use on that d-link. the setting can get from maxis 3g website.

I have been using VigSys VR20...so far it works perfectly. I also use it in car with cigarette lighter cable when I travel in group of my colleagues on field trip. Price wise, it is cheaper than E960. I give thumbs up for VigSys VR20

can u tell me how u setting the DIR 451 and e220? right now i'm stuck about it. Thanx

can u tell me the setting of DIR 451 and e220 using maxis bb? I've already emailing the Dlink support but no reply (a week already). Thanx

where to buy the VigSys VR20? price?

huawei wireless router is ~1k

huawei e960 and vigsys vr20 - both around 1.3k

if any1 interested, i can help to get it from my fren ~

Ermm cheaper option is to buy ( or use your existing ) windows mobile PDA with HSDPA and install software to turn it into wifi HSDPA router


have a look here

http://www.jongma.org/WMWifiRouter/

If you have not purchase the WIFI router, you may want to consider VigSys VD30 Wireless Docking Gateway.
I have checked it out...it was designed to convert USB modem into HSDPA WIFI Router...the price is RM450 which is way lower than the VR20 I had purchased. The WIFI router functions are the same as VR20 except the HSDPA function is by the USB Modem.

As stated on their website, supported USB Modems:
- Huawei E220 HSDPA USB Modem
- Huawei E270 HSxPA USB Modem
- VigSys VM10 HSDPA USB Modem

Furthermore, they come in 5 colors.

Do check out their website for further information if you need.

BT here should be bluetooth. PPC is pocket PC.

i say dun change ler

have tou read the terms and conditions of the "fair wireless internet service for all" crap?

limiting your total bandwidth used to 2/4gb?

that is total BS man

Wat I heard is 3gb limit.....where they say unlimited.

Somehow I notice after a long time use of my d68 celcom it will slow down or dc......xunlei file downloading
will slow or wont download at all after reaching +/- 3GB data downloaded..

Anyone have the same experience?

i strong agree what u mention it. I think so far there are no have provider able to provider the so big bandwidth to end user lor..i mean is home user..
so what for using the hsdpa modem but with out the service.. is it?

The most immediate benefits of HSDPA modem is that it provide total mobility to its users. We are no longer tied to home phone line.
I have been subscribing to these services..and so far so good.
