Added on May 19, 2010, 8:03 pmu can connect the P1 modem to an internet wifi router. then setup the P1 as the gateway of the Wifi router. choose a router than can configure a certain IP address as priority user. lock using MAC address so you always get same IP address. so you will have higher priority compared to your roommate.

wifi router - around RM200-300

why some people got firmware as below ? and mine is older.

is both for DV-230 or the newer one for DS-300 ?

anyone care to share their DV 230 firmware version ?

Uh, I don't plan on buying any wifi router. is there no other way?
Oh, and even when I tried using the LAN cable and let him use the wifi. I still has low speed connection.

Is it true that for DV230 the LAN connection is slower than the wifi? my other friend said so.
or there's some configuration that need to be made?

dude, i was using P1 back in 2009...whatever you mentioned...i done it all and i am tired playing hide and seek radio frequency

Added on May 19, 2010, 8:33 pmi called P1 and ask them, it is the latest firmware for DV 320.

no other way to control bandwidth. maybe your roommate is torrenting / downloading. so he/she is using up all the bandwidth.

are you using laptop / desktop computer ?

connect the DV 230 to your computer, then use wifi from your computer and share to your roommate. and you have to set up proxy on your computer. but then if your computer off, your friend cannot online as well. troublesome.

impossible like that. try a different network cable. cable is always better than wifi.

cable 100MBps

wifi 54MBps

I'm using the white thin cable provided in the box.

use your own network cable. shorter the better. the cable they gave i just left in the box. does not look like a proper network cable...

also sometimes your network port if have issues for e.g. if long time never use and corroded then will have bad connection and errors.

check this out. it should say 0. even after connected for many hours.

hey guys.. i was thinking to subscribe for W1GGY RM59... worth it? hows the speed in shah alam?? thx~

@jananan: yeah, you're right.. the provided cable is something



I just 'steal' this cable from my neighbor. lol no la.. do i need to set anything on the modem?

change cable does not require any config. its plug and play. it should say "connected 100mbps" when u connect the new cable. means everything is ok.

Yesterday the P1 technician came to my house and I was told that the modem had gone case. The P1 technician will be bringing a new (3rd) modem today and hopefully called around 1pm to confirm the time.

Have the technician called u?



Hi appreciate that you could provide us your Full name and Phone number via private message and we will explain you more about the product. Thanks ya!

We will check with our technician and ensure them to call you okay?

Yes, they did call and promised they will call me back for the visit schedule. Unfortunately, there are no follow up after the first call. i already attach the screen shots here so please do me a favour - This month waive. I am tire of this issue now. From no signal to mild signal, i still cannot use my internet properly and as the matter of fact, it is worst than my time using P1 in PJ, SS2. This month, up till now, i still cannot use my P1 for video streaming, VPN for work, upload picture on facebook, cannot surf youtube.

PLEASE CHECK THE SCREENSHOT i attached in previous page...the signals reading are horrible.




Attached thumbnail(s)

Begining of May, the mild signal from no signal at all!!;








This is the summary of my P1 connection status.

dude, ask them to change to DV 230, last time i tried the W1GGY usb modem also sucks, totally no signal at all. i screw them and change to DV 230 modem. somehow DV 230 stronger signal, much much stronger. maybe DS 300 using older chipset / inferior antenna. no point if 3 tmies change also they bring same type modem. LPPL as penang ppl would say.

afaik the DV 230 has better signal isolation and noise reducing technology, because it can reduce interference from its own wifi dongle. wifi = 2.4Ghz and wimax = 2.39Ghz.

interference from your neighbours wifi can affect your DS 300 as well. if your neighbours all have wifi, and the coverage overlaps it would create terrible noise in the signal.

now look at mine, DV 230. remember, my W1GGY had 0 signal. totally no reception at all.

PS : I am not P1 reseller. I was skeptical at first too, since the USB W1GGY really was terrible beyond comprehension.
