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...

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.
