thanks for the info.

haha, introducing lucca our korean friend to all lym malaysian ....

this is the first time i met foreigner through selling in lowyat.net...

there are lots reasons some malaysian merchants becoming so conservative/cautious about using international payment gateway because last time when the ebay.my launched back to years ago, many malaysian become victims of international buyers scam. long story too tired to tell further. so just let ly seller know if lucca ask for international payment gateway method such as paypal although he in malaysia, u are free of worry, he's not those well-known african online scammers.

malaysia 3G is using 2100MHz now, and in rural area just started in 900MHz range. That's y your cantenna 2450MHz not work out for 3G here. Browse Wilson's Mobilepro , this signal booster support 824-894 MHz / 1850-1990 MHz, not suitable for malaysia 3G as well, ideal for US AT&T. Yup, malaysian really rarely use signal booster for cellular, maybe for health concern, haha.

### korean broadband achieving minimum 100Mbps, when malaysia can catch up? ###

sorry to tell for usb modem w/o external connector , like e1550/1552/173, the cable solution still not mature yet for now.

if urgent i suggest change your 3g modem to e1762 or other modem with ready external connector. you can sell off e173 to subsidies getting e1762.

this yagi antenna use rp-sma connector cable as usually seen.

then look at which brand/models 3g modem in use by users, plug in connector converter or pigtail cable to the 3g modem to connect to yagi antenna's rp-sma cable.

E220 don't have any external connector right? then cann't use external 3g antenna yet as the cable solution for 3g modem w/o external connector not mature yet.

pls check your pm ya

urm, were u just sign up with latest maxis plan which offer E1762 to users..

from march onwards, maxis change the bundled modem favour to E1762 (4 plan giving out E1762), only the only 1 cheapest plan still giving E1552 only.

So E1762 may back to hot pick modem in the market again. Also a good news to bb users.

i don't have zte mf600, you can ask advancepc if he get restock for this model.

maybe need to open a wimax thread instead...

i no familiar with bluecube modem ... can show picture to me? or the printed model number /oem brand underneath the modem (bcoz these 3g modem are made by zte/huawei other manufacturers with celcom printed logo)

ok, 16dbi 3G 2.1GHz yagi + the connector for E1762 or other huawei modem still available now.

replied............

wimax is using 2.3GHz in malaysia.

there is panel type antenna support 2.3GHz. Already 1 lowyat member ordered and tested that 14dbi panel 2.3GHz with his P1 DX-230 modem earilier this month, it works well to improve signal and stability (then no need potong again lah).

But user need to open the modem case and put in a cable first (very easy to plug in) to attach to the external panel antenna, so this would void the warranty of modem (if any).

havn't come across yagi type for 2.3GHz. 2.3GHz is not common frequency, so very few type antenna do cover this frequency. majority are for wifi 2.4GHz.

for wimax discussion, i may open another thread for it as here focused on 3G.

it is not always neccessary think about putting on top, if current position already get you good result then that mission already achieved. (need not always think about tv antenna position).

it already come in 2.5 meter. I chose 2.5m becoz i tested before to confirm its performance vs signal loss tolerance to 3G cell tower broadcasting capabilites. So extending over 2.5 meter sure will deteriote the signal level, putting on roof seems get you better position but with longer cable cause more signal loss too, may then seeing no improvement gain or unluckily signal drop ...

most feedback i got from previous buyers were that they just put at window area only already very good result. Their key success usage is point the 3G yagi closer to the cell tower direction will see improved signal (left/right/up adjust test a bit lah), so facing direction of antenna is more important then position of antenna.

there is one simple way "putting 3G antenna on roof" + "without extending the cable any longer" = use 3G router.

put 3G router within the cable length, you can wall hanging the 3G router easily as those router already provide hanging hole beneath the case.

so when you going out, just take out the 3G modem.
when you back to home, put the 3G modem to the router and attach in the antenna cable, simply like that. there are already a few members doing this way now.

that kind "universal adapter" is NO DIRECT CONNECT TO the 3g modem, it use some kind of signal relaying method, no better / efficient than any direct connector connecting setup, otherwise no value for 3G modem manufacturers come in nature design of an external connector for some of their 3g modem. You can perceive that kind Universal is a compromising alternative setup usage, but only direct connecting via hardware connector is the best for signal gain. When you got chance to connect via physical connector, definitely no need bother about that kind "universal" relaying.

=========
Extra Updates:
=========
a few sets remain available only, interested member pls act quick, these batch are customised version with 2.5m cable + rp-sma converter to suit most modem/converter. There is another N converter variants version which causing some problem with 3g set up so i don't get those stock, would post some VS pictures illustrating the usage problem as I have both rp-sma and N connector version in hand.
