Finally gave up on waiting for UniFi to roll out in my area, and was extremely excited when I saw that Maxis Unlimited Mobile Broadband at RM68/RM99. Did all the research I could in a night, and today went out to get all the equipment needed.

I've just bought a Maxis Prepaid Broadband (Hotlink) SIM pack, a '3' branded ZTE MF680, and of course, an MR3420. The Hotlink SIM is merely just to test the connection speed attainable in my house, of course I do intend to switch to the unlimited plan once I have tested the connection's reliability and robustness.

When I use the Hotlink SIM in my modem which is directly connected to my PC, the connection is established but when you try to go to any website the 'Maxis Prepaid Broadband' portal page always pops up at the start of every connection session. You then have to click on the 'Click here to continue' link before you can do any further internet access. I am sure that this is same for everyone using Hotlink BB?

Here's the problem: When the modem is connected to the MR3420, the MR3420 can't 'click' on that link. Somehow it is stuck at a stage where the connection is established, but no internet access allowed. Surely some people are facing the same problem out there?

I tried using the SIM from my iPhone which has a data plan, in place of the Hotlink SIM, and everything works fine. Didn't even need to change the connection profile, it simply connected and worked whether it was directly connected to the PC, or even to the MR3420.

Quite exhausted with searching, because I really have been trying. Hopefully someone here has solved this issue? A point in the direction of where to search would be helpful just as well. Many thanks in advance guys!
