Oh.. icic..
Just now I tried use longer USB cable to connect my E1762..
The router hang on heavy usage..
Now connected to the short cable which came with E1762. It's fine.
Does this happen to you?
btw, any recommendation tweak should I do?

well there is a few thing u can tweak,

MTU

DNS

APN

flash ur firmware, or reflash ur firmware or reset factory default setting ( if u feel anything wrong )

and also your strainer direction too


for MTU is very different for everyone, i dont know how to calculate it, but i try one by one start from 1480->1479-> until i find out myself one is 1390 suitable,..

if u feel that ur connection is fine, probably u can leave it 1480 ( default )

for usb extensoion, i dont think it should be problems as i am using 3meter one currently , LOL,.

i think maxis is using 900Mhz or 2100Mhz is the matters,..

Oh ok. Thanks bro.
Btw, Just now I'm using the 3meter one..
The router/modem hang and connection drop.
Now connected without strainer
btw, what the usage of MTU?

if u feels like ur connection is normal and fine,then just leave the MTU default, if not then start to tweak it,. together with yuor apn and DNS,. it might make a different on the connection,.

My router hang again.. router webpage can't access at all..
Restart manually. Back in action
Wondering what's the problem...?

How much did you buy the router? At Viewnet for RM 79?

I bought at All IT RM 82
Since I'm getting some other stuff from All IT and I just get router from there since just only RM 3 different.

Oh cool, I have an alternative now.
Earlier All IT didn't sell it at that price, more expensive than that.

Yup. Earlier All IT selling RM 89

the longer the cable you use, the higher the dBm loss and the weaker the signal

anyway the best way is to put the MR3420 outside of your house or better still on the first floor balcony ( if u hav one) connect via wifi only and find the best possible position by trial and error by looking at the signal strenght indicator of the MR3420 page (192.168.1.1)

for my case i hav to locate the best possible spot, it is not the highest point of my house, mind you
its near my neighbour's pagar where i parked my Van , ontop of the Van
i believed tat the signal from my neighbour's pagar (grille) acts as an antenna of some sort to my modem/router
, when i put it ontop of my car which is parked next to my Van, the signal dropped as its away from the pagar

I don't use cable for my USB, straight plug to router.

Mind if i ask, is there any way to disable the virtual CD and SD card on E1762?

you live too near to a Maxis tower, could be hazardous to your health in the long run, but the signal there will be good (compensated) so stay at your office longer then

Added on November 8, 2011, 9:15 amdebrand/flash it , do it at your own risk, i done it to one of my Mf190 and still using it. it wont install any dashboard when u plug it into a pc/lappie, hav to install it manually from my thumbdrive which i DL the dashboard......

and this Mf190 works fine with my MR3420, which Chuah was having some problems when using the Mf190+Mr3420

Oh.. now I using 1meter cable which came with the modem.
I'm staying at hostel and my room at ground floor
Which connection you select? On demand or automatically?

Will try that later see whether got any different

sorry, any website to guide me through the debranding process?

do i need to unlock the modem 1st?

Hmmm..
I direct plug the modem into router get better signal and stability
btw, chuah and digilife I wondering how long does it take to connect after reboot?

Not really, getting the right antenna that support both 900MHz & 2100MHz will do for area if maxis kick out 2100MHz totally. simply say what-frequency there, then use what-frequency supported antenna for any wireless technology.

Actually this 900MHz only situation is not sth ppl welcome, they should run dual band 2100MHz + 900MHz in parallel (the earlier estimated situation when they first announced it, since newer modem can auto switch band). What happens to ppl using old 3g modem which run only in 2100MHz, like huawei E220, ZTE MF600 once bundled with maxis, dump it? forced to buy newer modem?

Ironically, the maxis latest bundled modem changed from Huawei E1762 to to ZTE MF190 which support HSDPA/UMTS 2100MHz only... (like u said, maxis really giving headache to users now 900/2100?)

Luckily not all telco will do the same 'trick' as maxis / celcom doing. U-mobile and Digi still stick to tradisional 2100MHz 3G band as higher frequency = more data carrier = higher maximum speed. U-mobile now strike for 42mbps in cities area, definitely a justified reason they keep using high frequency. coming LTE which using 2600MHz is even higher band.

lower frequency, as some of my friends said, quite like a trick play by these two telco, since lower frequency having better indoor penetration capabilites than higher frequency (like our tv frequency), so ppl using 3g dongle at home wlll see improved signal level at home/indoor than before, no more complain to mcmc lah ... but in fact higher wireless data speed still belongs to higher frequency like wimax @ 2.3GHz, LTE @ 2.6GHz, wifi latest N @ 5GHz. they should run dual band in parrallel - the ideal situation.

usb cable do nothing with signal loss matter , signal loss are happens start from the antenna socket alongside to the antenna. usb cable responsible for usb electric power for device, and data transferring only.

usb cable for usb 3G modem, same as chuah, up to 3 meter still ok, after 3 meter, i can't even power up huawei modem, let alone stability. 1 meter best.

Added on November 8, 2011, 1:31 pmyup, this should be the case if any ext connector ripped off, shouldn't render the machine in coma/malfunction. such as our wifi devices, router/ap/adapter, if rp-sma connector broken, the machine still work, just that broken connector cannot work for any antenna any longer.

so when i get the modem from digilife to check, then only can see how that happens. if experimental success, then not just solder in cable, but a one-of-it-kind rp-sma connector can appear at E1762 body side, then can show-off here, haha...

My cable only 3meter.. Always dc and hang..
Yesterday tested 1meter cable the modem hang..
Now direct connect to router working fine
No hang and dc

not everything must be long one, short also good, in this case direct plug in without the cable is best, like i direct plug into the router but place my router on top of my Van at the car porch , no Lan cable, just wireless
