E372 wins hands down, cause its an "open" modem compared to MF680 which is simlock, and E372 cost is much higher compared to MF680, and this explains why Umobile also ceased to bundle E372 with their signs up

you guys just need to pay rm350 and signup a MB68 package, and if u stay for 5 mths , you get rebates of rm20X5=rm100, meaning the modem cost is rm350-rm100=rm250, whereas E372 cost rm450 from a authorised distro from TenTen Malaysia , see the difference

and FYI, whoever wan to signup this rm350 modem bundled package from UM, can PM me as i have stocks of MF680 (simlocked to UM)

Sim locked is not that interesting as ZTE newer modem facing some unlock difficulty though

I thought this router has a LAN port speed of 100Mbps and Wireless N speed of 300Mbps or worse 150Mbps?

I believe it is my network card's issue.

Hmm.. I had tried cat5, cat5e and cat6 lan cable on this router to my mac.
In term of internet connection, it doesn't seem any different
In term of sharing file from pc to pc, yes.. cat5e and cat6 has significant faster and max out the transferring rate which is 95mbps out of 100mbps which support on my pc..

I believe so. Else, the settings are very easy. People like me who have no networking knowledge also can get it done.

Hi guys, my current set up is u mobile zte 190 with this router but having problem of delaying send in & out email and file such as .pdf and .doc download with remark " file corrupted". I have no problem when using unifi but u mobile always give such problem. Anyone know what is the root cause ? Can YES DoGgle support this router ? Thanks for reply in advance.

Tomorrow going to receive my MR3420 router. Do i need to do any setting on my E1762 Modem before using it to MR3420? This modem is a gift from Maxis. Whenever i plug in my laptop it will autorun and pop up.
Thanks for the help
