anyone here being using portawifi e8131?

originally din wanna consider mifi... but looks like it might be the easier option for me. so need to ask sifu here (coz i dun have any mifi experience):
* can i set the dns settings on the mifi -- i prefer to use openDNS & googleDNS. i know for PC can set this on the PC, but some other device includes smartphone.
* can we connect the mifi to wall socket and leave it running 24-7? or better to get 3g wifi router instead?

*1 cant, most Huawei mifi i ever used dont have such settings, you can set custom DNS on your phone though, edit the wifi entry and tick advanced settings.
*2 i'd connect to my PC instead, you dont want your expensive Mifi struck by lightning, do you? when mifi operating it emit heats, 3G mifi more hotter than LTE mifi but depends on model and network mode.
Mifi's wireless range is very short, if you want to have better coverage and more advanced setting to tweak, get 3/4G router.

bought huawei E5332 last 2 days to use mainly for downloading/torrenting.
and just found out this mifi actually require battery even if u plugged in the adapter. im just thinking to pull battery out when downloading for long hours because i just scared the heat will damage the battery.

just hope the battery will last at least 2 years with heated everyday. lol

huawei mostly all mifi need battery to be insert,..

that's why at home best combination is USB modem stick + Router,..

yeah u r right. but im prefer something that portable.i know sierra wireless mifi modem can on without battery inserted and plugged in charger.

there is few other brand can do the same too,.

just depends on personal preferences

could someone recommend a good portable mifi modem under rm100

Nope, nothing for this kind of price

low end android phone can work as portable mifi. i think lenovo got one rm200 something.

RM200 can get mifi already.. he want below Rm100

what would be best/lowest price model i could get?

Hi, I'm asking on behalf of a friend.

What is the cheapest 4G LTE modem available ?

TP-link TL-M5350, Sierra 753S, ZTE MF65, ZTE MF60 and Huawei E5331 lower than 200

can refer here.

you can check with blacktubi.

Does Alcatel and ZTE can be very cheap, some might be just RM1XX

But the quality is different

how about Sierra 320U for LTE modem? good?

Same grade as E398.

so, 320U is good as E398?
Compatible with Malaysia LTE right?

yes it is compatible,
