QUOTE(wc_how @ Oct 13 2011, 12:16 PM) How much for the router you bought? i brought it at RM 85 ( new ). using it for months now, compare with other brand 3G router, TPLNK have more tweak and detail in setting, and from what i know it support Sonyericsson phone as modem too,. and it is the only router will show you the signal strength on your 3G modem,.. i am using it 24/7 . consider worth for me,. I asked a seller for RM9x,cheap? But my friend told me that, TP-Link products are not that good. Easy drop, slower compare with other brands like Aztech,Dlink... And how about the strainer?How to you get it and how much ? strainer i buy at RM11.50. is a cheaper way to enhance your signal,. if u have higher budget, get yourself a phone. phone can get signal stronger than usb modem in poor coverages area |

QUOTE(WanR @ Oct 13 2011, 01:54 PM) i have 2 of this 3g router... when u use the zte mf 110, do u need to turn off the auto run first so the router can detect the zte modem ? one for my celcom bb (private use with password and mac filtering) and other one for digi bb prepaid (open access with monitoring). happy with both of them, but sometime cant detect zte MF110 modem. use for nearly 2years. celcom - attach with e1550 modem. digi - attach with e153 modem. i have to turn off the auto run on my mf627 first before plug in though |

QUOTE(fruitie @ Oct 13 2011, 02:37 PM) I'm currently using my E1762 with Aztech HW550. Overall it is a good router, nothing to be complained about. yea great thinking,. leave teh aztech back home and use TP LINK, ha ha,.. well so far is good for me, as i love the 100% signal from SE plug in,.. work like a charm,. Recently got "infected" too much by these guys here, I'll be getting a TP Link MR3420 to place it permanently at my PJ house and this Aztech HW550 will be transported back to PD to be placed there. So, that I don't need to bring it around when I go back PD, saves so much of life. Next time just bring back my E1762. |

QUOTE(fruitie @ Oct 13 2011, 02:52 PM) One thing I like about this router is that it accepts almost all types of modems available on the market. so far the list is :Does it require firmware update to accept newer types of modems?

QUOTE(maxcheam @ Oct 14 2011, 04:42 PM) congrats on the new thread, chuah! I'm using this router on Maxis, 2 of them actually. As the signal coverage in my house wasn't great, less than 30%. I linked up these 2 routers via WDS where I put one at the balcony (better signal but not great ~45%) and another one near my computer to connect to the home network. thanks max,. yea i guess i am lucky to know SE can get 100% signal and also can use with our router,. Never failed me so far (touch wood after seeing your results with SE phones, I guess most of us will start to hunt for one now.

QUOTE(iRonTech @ Oct 28 2011, 07:55 AM) u can tweak the MTU, or DNS, or APN, or you can upgrade the firmware of the usb modem u use, or u can add in directional antenna with the usb modem too,. i basically try almost everything,. one more thing is Sonyericsson phone is very good match with this router as very easy to get 100% or very high signal,.. u might want to try out,.. just remember to place both your router + SE phone on top of cooler pad,.. and open up the SE phone cover,. so it wont get over heated,.. |

QUOTE(kizwan @ Oct 30 2011, 01:07 AM) Hi, when u direct plug into laptop, what window u use ? and did u tweak the MTU setting ? or DNS ? or APN ?I just bought this router today. I'm using it with my Sony Ericsson K660i. At first I was skeptical because last time I tried the phone with other router (don't remember the brand), it doesn't work. I was going to buy 3G (HSPA) USB modem today but all shop I go didn't sell them. Thankfully I'm unable to buy one because when I connect my phone to TP-Link router & after simple configuration, it successfully make a connection. However, there is a problem though. Download speed only 54 KB/s max. If I connect the phone directly to laptop, the download speed is around 2XX to 3XX KB/s. Do anyone know why the speed is so low? u can also try to upgrade the firmware too. i have try Sonyericsson phone with W705 and Yari U100. both work like a charm, speed wise no different with direct pc plug in too,.. as i did upgrade my router firmware and my sonyericsson phone firmware too,.. hope that helps,.

QUOTE(kizwan @ Oct 30 2011, 01:23 AM) I'm using windows 7. I did tweak MTU. What value for MTU & APN you use? MTU is very different number for everyone,. for my case i use 1390 , i slowly tweak from 1480 ( default ) one by one number until i get the exact direct plug in speed because i dont know how to calculate the MTU,. I did upgrade the router firmware to latest version but the download speed still low. I did checked firmware for my phone, there is no firmware update for it. u also can restore default setting on router & se phone too, they might work out,. for my case SE phone can get better signal than current usb modem in market as screen shot in first post,.. if u using maxis 3G , then u can select unet or maxisbb or bbnet. all 3 apn is working, and u just need to try out which one is better for you in your case,..
