welll glad to know it is ok now,. wheeww at least the factory reset made it fine.
u need to set one by one to test and see which setting made it dont work

Anyone using maxis modem E173? I just get 1 after my E1552 spoil but i can feel the heat of the modem when in use compare to previous E1552. Anyone face this?

Yea, luckily it is work now. It not really troublesome.
I do check the setting one by one but everything seems same~
Maybe the system problem not broadcast the ssid but still showing yes.

By the way I tested umobile speed not bad. Very fast~ but still not sure stable or not.
wish it is stable~

want to ask if a 5m usb extension will affect the signal reception or stability of the 3g modem? how bout if connected from a usb port hub ?

USB hub will reduce its power thus reducing transmit power in the same time reduce signal

Been using Umobile for 6 months, and have to say that the speed is very stable. although this depends on your location etc. But once you get a decent coverage, you'll enjoy the speed

which usb modem have solid external antenna connector socket ?

You need a converter as no manufacturer wanna fit a large standard antenna port on a small device

is this mobile partner can be used to make call on all huawei modem or just e1762 modem?

Quite surprise... end of last year.. really hard to get 3G at my kampung... but now I can get 6.3Mbps which HSPA+ (shown on my Galaxy Tab).. even the signal is not so strong.

You cant voice call in E1762 because E1762 dont support vocie

for connector alone, sure ts9 is more solid than crc9. but it would come down to the final design and producing technique used by respective manufacturer in the modem. (same theory as using same qualcomm chipset, but why one better than others).

the most solid one is by soldering cable into 3g modem and use rp-sma connector (with thread), for those who already modified modem without external connector such as huawei 15xx , 173 alike knew the outcome. (the rp-sma connector is hold in by the plastic casing). last time sold a few antenna were to ppl who did this to their old modem to give them a new life.

yup, that is the rule to follow.

but the E367u-8 with Redbull logo is an exception: i.e mixed band version found in their Redbull u-8 stock, i saw Redbull u-8 with single band (2100MHz) Redbull u-8 with dual band (900+2100) and Redbull u-8 with quad band (850+900+1900+2100). really a mess. supplier also not aware any. don't know how actually huawei came out this kind conflicting stock for Redbull.

850+1900 is useful if frequent travel to US or some western countries. But if only used in Malaysia or asia countries, still 2100MHz (main band) + 900MHz (supplementary band). As theoritically say higher band = higher speed, and also practically confirmed by some users here, 2100MHz is highest speed for 3G especially now in DC-HSPA+.


** so to verify yourself, is to open the Mobile Partner program: see Tools > Options > Network: All band. this will be 100% accurate tell the truth rather relying online info. the other reliable info will be FCC registering info.

you can find at local computer shops weh~ mine i loan from a comp shop for testing, now i return d, cause max blocked the vpn port, so not use, will buy when open up back, rm 22 for 5m

It is possible to limit 3G on phone eg: android
to use 3G(hsdpa 3.6Mbps) not on H(hsdpa 7.2Mbps)?
in android there 2G:G,E/3G:3G,H,H+(21Mbps)
in iphone 2G:G,E/3G:3G

I don't think you can limit the 3G network..
The android allow you to limit on 3G or 2G network only
