Maxis 21Mbps MiFi Modem support usb, just install software come inside the modem.

Hi guys and all sifus'

Currently looking for modem to upgrade from my own.

I have been looking for this 2 particular modem:

1) Huawei E372
2) Sierra 312u

In terms of reliability, consistency, latency and performance. Which one is better? Planning to pair with MR3420 for long hours connection use.

Or u guys, have another recommendation. As for LTE modems, out of my budget.

Hope to hear from you guys.

those Both usb modem model is more expensive then certain LTE modem,..

u better go direct for LTE modem,.. just my personal opinion

Bro, do u have any particular LTE modem to suggest? In terms of performance and long hours usage.

My area still no LTE coverage yet at this moment.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Any recommendation for mifi lte?

I'm using 312u+mr3220 jow. Thinking to let it go & switch to mifi..hehe

I am using 760S and I am very happy with it

This device can works as usb dongle? I mean connect to pc & access the internet like normal 3g usb dongle? & without battery. Any side effects?

Yes, works this way too

So far no problem except 760S can't reset

Reset means?

If you press the reset button you will disable the modem

In what circumstances do we need to reset other than hands itchy ?

Nothing, to be true I rarely touch the controls

It just works, I leave the band at LTE 1800Mhz / 3G 2100Mhz

Whenever I enter a zone, it connect automatically to LTE

Then we can enable it back? Haha.. sorry.. noobs questions.

Anyway 754s vs 760s. What is the difference?

How come i use my E355 for a bout 5- 10 minutes, when i touched it, it was very hot

The line also unstable though.

huawei E355 is usb modem + wireless hotspot,.

so it is like huawei E353 adding in with one extra wifi chipset,..

Huawei E353 alone is quite hot enough,.. not to mention adding in with one more wireless chipset to provide wifi,..

best is places it under aircon or put in area where the air ventilate well, or somewhere shade cool or using a fan to constant blow at it,

once the temperature raise, the stability consistency of your connection will confirm going down and vice versa too ,...


so hold the temperature down is quite the main key, other than signal ,..

I see. Thank you so much bro. But sometime it is not that hot, sometime it is hotter than usual. how come.

Depends on signal condition and usage. Using HSPA+ produce more heat

That's the problem of Huawei MiFi

BTW, Huawei E589 is only warm

When the signal is poor, your modem will tend to use more power to pull the signal in, or when you are heavy downloading time, your modem will use more power to performs.
More performances = more power = more heat

OH i see. NO wonder. Will the modem burn? I mean overheat till it burn and spoil itself?

No, if you read the manual, the mifi will shut itself off if overheat.
actually its still quite hot too, i place it insde a pouch, throw it on my bag, i can feel the heat even the mifi is on outer layer of my bag, thats 2 layers
next time gotta put outside
