Yes, reason being the router causes the limitation.

Nevertheless, if my housemate decides to ditch her E1762 away and gives it to me, I don't mind giving this method a second try.
After all, lugging around the heavy router when I go back hometown is not fun.

Oh well, I'll see how it goes. I guess only with E1762, it worth my time to try.
Else, forget about it la.

over run heated fried ?

i am using my E1762 with the steel strainer,, upload speed is stable around 1Mbps,.. 

DO NOT BUY AZTECH HW550-3G!!!!

Their support team sux!!!

It's been more than one month now and they still can't provide me the firmware for my new Maxis e173 modem.

I sent in my e1762 to maxis for warranty and they gave me a new e173 and it's not working with my HW550, so i wrote to them and no reply after one week, then I forward it to their marketing, only then i get some reply.

After one month of ding ding and dong dong (they require my modem serial number la, FCC, FID, VID bla bla bla...) and came out with a 201.106.3-045 firmware.... and it didn't work... so I have to write in again to them and guess what, they ask me to bring my modem to their office so that they can test it out remotely from Singapore so that their software engineer can remote login to use my modem to write the firmware... WTF!!! I don't work for them ok... my time are more precious than to drive all the way to their office and let them test my modem.

I have other modem that works with the router, but as a customer, I just want to excercise my rights to have them write the firmware.

From the beginning itself, i already told them, Maxis is giving out this new modem for months already, just go and get one from Maxis... for godsake, it's Huawei modem... not any cap palang modem... I even cc the email to their Sales Manager, Marketing and their Group Director... all of them got no balls to reply me.

Anyway, who wants to buy my HW550-3G... I will throw in a Huawei e169 (white or pink - i have 2) that works with the router

is both modem available now ?

Great news, I got 1-1 replacement in 10 minutes. I asked the person who changed it for me, " dah test ke? nanti jadi lagi susah pulak. Baru on dah rosak", she said "dah".

Worse thing.... It failed and the burning smell in the air again. When I check with my multimeter, the adapter output was 40V instead of 12V. No wonder! And I have to go back to get another replacement. Crap! Double crap!

Cost of going to their service center is almost RM30 of gas+toll. Going there again tomorrow?? Ended up like paying almost for 2 units already. c'mon!!!!! If they replaced the whole set or even properly check like what I have asked, this thing wont happen!

Great customer service (quick replacement) but very2 bad in terms of proper checking. Lack of testing procedure i guess. They only test to verify the returned items but not the ones their replacing. Do I qualify for any compensation?
