I'm using this modem too. I have been using for nearly a year now after I got my iPad last year. I wanted to share out my connection.

Anyway, my setup will be as below:

fruitie's modem: ZTE MF622 ISP: Maxis 3G Unlimited Internet

So far, I have no complaint for it. It is good and stable. The only bad thing is it is bulky but thank God it is light enough for me to transport back to hometown when I go back. biggrin.gif

Another reason why I bought it is because I didn't want to waste my current USB modem. I could have bought a HSPA MiFi but that basically makes my modem go wasted.

I prefer LAN connection to my laptop and WiFi on my iPad.

I bought it at RM 103 and that was last year, nowadays it is getting cheaper. Really worth every penny spent.

In KK, I believe that should be considered reasonable. Considering the transportation fees. smile.gif

By the way, TS, if you want to you can add me into the list. I have no problem with it. smile.gif

Huawei E1762, you will need to update the firmware most likely if you bought it last year.

However for ZTE MF190, I'm not so sure. smile.gif

i plan to "re-use" my  HW550 so tat i dun need to "waste" the battery and can "save" the battery when i go outdoors wif my WiFi-ed devices.......

When you are using MiFi, either you let it charged using USB power or get a plug that works with USB cable. smile.gif

Else, be prepared for endless battery draining incident. tongue.gif

p/s: If your modem is compatible for recharge using USB, else you have no choice. smile.gif

i hav 2 MiFi actually, the older E-5830 cannot use WiFi while charging, meaning ONLY charging or WiFi-ing at any one time, whereas the newer one E-5830S can charge while being WiFi-ed out....BUT I wont use it tat way as it will "kill" the MiFi  + battery faster. just imagine if you use your lappie with the battery + charging at the same time, wat will happen to your lappie's MoBo and Battery Life and Adaptor life ?  icon_idea.gif  icon_idea.gif  biggrin.gif

and btw, dun use the USB Adaptor shown cause they may not be rated for your device wattage, i always my Ipad USB Adaptor to charge my USB devices thumbup.gif the battery last longer cause u knoe Apple stuff la brows.gif

Well, I believe by the time the battery gets drained out, you have already well-spent the money. biggrin.gif

You are fine with 64kbps? That is something which I can't accept at all. sweat.gif

Yeah, disconnections can be annoying at times.

i discovered tat we  actually dun need the HW550 if we are connected to the net via Win7 cause Win7 itself can be a WiFi router itself, just tried it today and its fast too

and the HW550 can be a WiFi router if we dun on the PC itself
*
Today only you know? tongue.gif

Actually I got to know this for quite sometimes but only tried it two days ago.
However, it wasn't that impressive compared to connecting it via HW550.

Not sure which factor causes it. hmm.gif

to me it was faster than connected to the HW550 and one more thing my PC only utilise a Buffalo WiFi dongle and it was very fast cause i use it to tether to my Xoom to do apps download and Honeycomb HD apps files are very large.....

If it is impressive, I would have the E1762 hooked to my laptop and share out my 3G connection.
But too bad, it wasn't working well for me. Additionally, my iPad can't seem to connect to it.
Kept appearing the authentication page whereby I was required to enter the username and password which I have no idea what are they.

yea now i plu gmy E1762 direct to my WIN 7 pc and share out the connection as wifi router through the USB wifi adapter, it faster speed this way, pure and uncapped, upload speed is amazing compare to plug in the tp link tl-mr3420 router,. direct is a lot better,...  weird!
*
Yes, reason being the router causes the limitation. smile.gif

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. blush.gif
