Bought an iPhone 4S Singapore set 16GB

Signal is great due to due antenna design

It's the same.. My i4S and i4 both get the same speeds lol

direct plug in

meanwhile my e1762 (old FW) + MR3420 via wifi on my ipad

I realise that when I'm using windows 7

No luck on galaxy note as well.
I guess no HSPA+ yet

more tests on the new firmware with E1762. Found out that I can now get stable connections and similar signal strengths without my 3G Yagi antenna. Since the antenna only supports 2100MHz, i'm guessing that the newer firmware provides better connection to 900MHz towers.

chuah, more findings from you? you're the only person here who's got all kind of devices to test.

not much testing currently as not much device to test with, just testing with the 900Mhz & 2100Mhz 3G band now,. realise in my area 900Mhz provide faster speed ( can max out 7.2Mbps ) and 2100Mhz provide lower speed ( around 2~4Mbps )

as after flashing the E1762 newer firmware, my E1762 able to get signal easily inside my house like u said due to 900Mhz signal improve and stable with this upgrade

and my area there is 1 new tower, confirm that this tower provide higher speed for DL than any of the current tower,.. but can only connect to it around 5~ 15 min then it will get DC and change to usual tower

By the way, I have firmware 11.126.08.03.74 on my E1762.. do I need the new flash? The firmware version is older than the one I currently have? I downloaded this for E1762, whereas the one posted here is for E176, which is also downloadable from DC-Files.

wow congrats fruitie,. seems like upgrade to latest firmware & dashboard did help after all,..

test With SE W705 + TL-MR3420

Added on November 16, 2011, 10:08 pmwell if u happy with the speed of your E1762 can get you then u dont need to flash new FW. but if u think your E1762 been perform much more poorer than it actually can, then try to flash with new firmware + the green color dashboard. it might enhances a little on your E1762 performances,..

Talking about that, I will need to spend some time to write about the flash upgrade thingy.

It didn't really help me much actually, the speed looks the same to me.

Actually.. I don't really know what is good speed or not with the modem.. since you know lah, I have always been using phone tethering since ages ago LOL! Now I have to settle this for the old folks.. lu chai la.. wanna do, do good good for them then no more future worries mah.

of of my e1762 hav this FW, but the speed only max out at abt 3Mbps but my other e1762 (FW 11.128.10.00.00) can max out at 4.xxMbps, i believe tat the latest FW should maximise Maxis signal and the latest Green dashboard hav a feature to upgrade the latest file available at Maxis server too

well i always believe that newer firmware & dashboard sure always better & easily out perform the older version,..

and u try to direct plug in and Feel the "RAW POWER", go to p1.com.my and do speed test with direct plug in, u will see the speed easy burst around 10~ 38Mbps DL,.. LOL

Hmmm.. the dashboard doesn't really matter if I'm gonna have the E1762 plugged into the TP-Link MR3420 right? But I need something stable, so not sure by flashing this firmware, it will be more stable.. and I can't compare since I hardly use the 3G modem.. hmmm..

yea i am using phone tethering because of the problems of 900Mhz & 2100Mhz 3G band frequency in my area and cause most of my 2100Mhz modem act up and not working, so now my only hope is on the E1762 although the speed wont be so stable like using phone tethering ,. just hope to make it work lo,.

I tried before, plug in super slow for me, all the time...
Most also 3.5Mbps, else stuck at below 2Mbps.



good DL,UL and Ping.

well most people who flash and upgrade getting much more decent speed & stable signal compare with older version of FW. so i believe the new FW & dashboard really helps,..
