i have a few noob questions.

just got my m3420.. now connecting with Maxis @ Huawei E1762..

So far the internet is connected. I didnt change anything much on the setting, just edit the SSID and password. Is that all important?

Do i need to change the 192.168.xxx? or just change the login and password is enough?

I set the modem to connect automatically... does this mean if the connection got disconnected, it will connect automatically? OR this option is for OFF/ON the modem only?

3G signal strength is 67%.. this means maxis coverage here is 67% right? not the wifi signal?

im not sure about the firmware. now it say 3.12.8 Build 110418 Rel.43954n. Is this the latest one?

-Just set the wifi password and type.
-Automatically will make the modem connect automatically to the internet.
-67% is the maxis coverage achieve from your E176
-Latest firmware click here

Thank you for the answer thumbup.gif

as for the huawei e1762 modem via maxis.. i always found out the LED indicator staying & show dark blue LED (instead of bright blue = The WCDMA connection is set up.) , as if it is idle... i have to reboot the MR3420 manually. Is there anything i can do about this, so it will reconnect by itself? Because in the setting i already put automatically connect and max idle time is 0.

Hi, I have ZTE modem from Umobile. I can see that we can use this modem with the router in question. My questions are how is your experience with it so far and how much is the price for the router in question? Thank you in advance.

A guy back in 2011 said (iirc) that he bought it for rm85 then. Now its already rm89. I thought the price for the exact same product should go down instead? Any comment? I it because of its new found fame?

Challenger IT Mega Store selling RM85 for member price only. Im non member, so i get it RM89. not much different.

i was wondering if i change the default 3dBi to higher dBi will give better wifi signal? because im using ipad mirroring to apple tv, freeze most of the time. so thinking if i change the antenna will improve this?

Increase the transmit power
Max I recommend 5dbi higher than that signal spread spectrum is too narrow

when mr3420 has 2 x 3dBi.. means i have 6dBi or it is still consider 3dBi ?
