i found out about the TP LINK 3G router:

when i connect using Lan cable to my win 7 ultimate pc,. i will get high ping, request time out happen a lot in CMD too when i ping google..

but when i use wireless N adapter connect to the router, i get lowest ping in my area and request time out is not happen at all,..


wireless N connection speedtest




when i use cable, my speedtest ping is always around 60~ 110Ms ( never get anything below 60ms )




can wireless N be better than Lan cable ???

in my case it seems like my wireless N adapter working better than my lan cable,...

speedtest using nokia x3-02:

( just though sharing on how i set up my nokia to run 24/7 beside my Tp Link 3G router )

i set up this way because my nokia doesnt support by Tp Link 3G router as modem like SE phone and install " Connectify" for my win7 PC to act as 3G router/Mifi so my lappy and andriod pad and phone all can connect to my pc,.. let my Tp Link rest tonight,... LOL...

as what Digilife advise i try to use MDMA to see my nokia x3-02 signal in dBm but it wont work,.

although average users not really like hassle matter, but some times it is also fun to DIY when one got leisure time instead of lepak kepak at shopping mall right?

do this DIY is better than get conned with fake 3G signal booster (as i bought 1 to test out, although initially think 90% it was fake, but still can resist myself buying 1, end up confirm fake 3G signal booster, a true signal booster would cost hundreds ...)

hi, i did know you having some difficulties in the usage way that accidentally rip off your huawei modem antenna jack, accident do happens, member 'mxsteven' seems also experienced that before, just solder back as he did as this crc9 are smaller connector, more vulnerable than big brother sma connector. (as you said your friend's E1762 connector also ripped off itself even no applying antenna at it before right?)

btw, apart from that accident, i never heard from you the signal is wosen than before while starting using it?

so far already sold about 10 units++, none of one said negative, all improved results.

3G antenna are proven industrial product, not DIY. telco also using them, no play-play. like chuach79 own disclaimer, every person situation / environment is different, so wanna know how your situation getting you that kind of end result?

longer cable did giving more signal loss, but with original 18dbi gain, minus the signal loss by 2.5m RG58/u cable, still got at least 16dbi ++, far multple times powerful than built-in antenna.

member 'dexeric' did the spot test at the same lrt i cod with you that time, he used ZTE MF60 mifi device. In open no blocking good condition like that, we don't expect much improved 3G results, but right put on testing, he already noticed improvment to -6xdbm and speed go up to 8.x Mbps after targetting a base station around 2-3km away.

member 'miezaidin' is the buyer so far i noticing the user (among 10+ buyers) who gain the most from his maxis line is his kampung in perak. lym who interested to know how much speed he got from the (under-utilised) maxis tower, can pm him, no good to disclose this openly as might trigger maxis 'alarm'. hehe.

latest member 'mynor' buyer feedback show the same way:
so wonder how your situation give you 'negative' results? this will be a worth for in-depth analysis case if 3G high gain antenna also cannot solve. more situation details / illustration needed indeed.

@coolstore

i bought 2 antenna from u b4, the patch( dual band) is good or rather better as the cable was short and easy to handle and i got dBm gain of abt -14dBm from -98 to -84/83 while using the e 1762 (dual band modem) , i am still keeping it.

when i saw this new Yagi, i bot it in the hope of getting a much better gain of at least -15dBm + and maybe i can position it pointing towards the tower around my place and get better result, but i was wrong cause when i plug in the antenna, the signal was "worst" -101dBm , cause the e1762 was not "receiving" the signal from its own internal antenna, it was receiving the signal from the Yagi ( cause it was connected via the modem's connector), and this yagi's cable is much rigid, hence very difficult to get a good grip

anyway, dun be alarmed " Mr Antenna seller" i am not here to badmouth your product and hav no intention of doing so, as there could be various reasons why i dun get the desired results......i will explore more ways to understand this yagi

i only hav one e1762 at tat time and since that e1762 was put into "coma" due to the dislodge antenna connector, i hav no more e 1762 to try

but now i ady bot another e1762 , i will try them out with the Yagi again soon but then again i am afraid tat i will rip the connector out again

i just hope you could help me to solder the pigtail connector to my 2# camatose e1762, please i dun mind tat the internal antenna of the e1762 will be gone forever after the soldering as they are in a coma and will never wake up

i should be in KL this Thursday, PM me if are willing to do it as i will pay for the pigtail connector. i tried to open the e1762 but i couldn't manage to locate the screws

well in my case

i do have a 3G yagi antenna,. it didnt work that well for me in my area compare with the strainer or windsurfer,. and also end up i accidently rip offthe connector in my E1762modem too, ( same like Digilife )

i suspect that usb modem is either can't provide enough power gain to the yagi to perform, or usb modem is just plain dont work in my area due to 3G band 900Mhz ?

and end up i testing with phone,. easier and signal is end up stronger and so strong like most of the time is FULL,. also achieve the highest speed that i wanted and consistency is higher than usb modem i( in my area )..

so now i dont know what to do with my 3G yagi antenna

Phone is always the best! I hardly use my 3G modem now

speedtest with nokiax3-02 ( PING is amazing.. )

agree, phone is bvest solution ,..

PM coolstore to solder the pigtail connector> send me the modem on Tue>i go see him on Thu> he do solder>i send u back the modem>u pay the pos laju and my "leg food"

PD's evening speed. Yeah~

i think i pass, since the Yagi dont gain much signal in my places compare to phone,.., i rather use phone now,.. easier,..

just dont know what to do with the 3G yagi antenna now,...

next time when we do "camp fire" at PD Beach, use it to skew some ikan kembong or cocktail sausage over the BBQ pit

Chuah, when did you last used the yagi? maybe tat time the signal was not tat good compared to now, i sincerely believe since your e1762 is in coma, why dun u use abt rm6(poslaju)+rm6(poslaju)+rm15(pigtail connector+soldering)=rm27 to revive it and do another round of test.....no nid to pay me leg-food la.....i am a walker , i enjoy walking, been running(walking) chores for fruitie many times ady

well, is not the money i am worry about,. is the effort, because i scare later after everything done and signal still as crappy as in august, then all effort will go into drain,..

because currently strainer, windsurfer, phone all is doing way better than my yagi ( last trial in august )..

then just giv me your e1762 to get it revived since it is in a coma

i will present it to fruitie to test with your Yagi

Fruitie area having so good speed already with just a simple E1762 plug into router or direct plug,.. and yet consistent too,. dont think fruitie need any Yagi 3G antenna,.

I'm not sure after more than 10 days away from the good old PJ, if the speed has gone haywire there.

Meanwhile, I have updated post #3 and post #4.

I'm shocked to see such upload speed.


Take two with high download speed.


Take three. Maxis is amazing.


Good test to prove my router can go more than 2Mbps for upload.


Did I just clock one of the best upload speeds here?

HSPA FTW! PD has HSPA.
