just wated to share on those tips to improve your wireless broadband connection & how to make it stable and consistent as wired broadband,..

here is the current small experiment i am doing and researching

ZTE MF680
[attachmentid=3149623]

E372 Maxis set
[attachmentid=3149624]

Those line is highlight is one of the internal Signal antenna attach to the cover,

See that E372 have much longer zig zag silver than ZTE MF680 which have only tiny bit ?


ZTE MF680
[attachmentid=3149628]

E372
[attachmentid=3149629]


As you can see from 2 photo above, see how the heatsink in ZTE MF680 is 2 divide piece and E372 is one whole big long piece of heatsink ?
This is the main reason why you guys feel ZTE MF680 is hotter than E372 because the heatsink too small compare to E372 can't hardly tame the whole heat , and the zte mf680 cover will get much more warm and need a cooling method or else performances is drop. on the other hand E372 doesn't need any cooling method and will still be fine and performances a lot better and much stable when heat raise,..


now you guys have the answer of why E372 is much stable and less heat in overall than ZTE MF680 & why ZTE MF680 performances drop tremendous when heat raise

i hope this post benefit you all who having these modem and also for you all who is choosing between which one to have,..

new experiment coming up ^^,
so stay tunes,

Added on November 11, 2012, 1:28 ami try open the ZTE MF680 but the silver thing apart from the board, signal and speed drop tremendously,

so now i am working on new project,..

on shift the silver zig zag thing from my spoil E372 maxis set on to my ZTE MF680 board, and manually add more heatsink on the ZTE MF680 front heat sink part,..

then after will add TS-9 convertor and plug in Panel antenna as well

hopefully result is high speed + stable

My so called " Death E372 Maxis Set" is ALIVE again

i open the both cover to take photo just now,

and then i leave the back cover close and plug in router tl-mr3420 v1 and insert sim card then plug in CRC9 convertor + panel,..

and my maxis set E372 is working amazing with this antenna + CRC9 convertor

and it is never switch to Auto band like my E372 huawei set , it is still on UMTS2100 with Full signal;


[attachmentid=3149689]
look at the signal 31,99 & ping

[attachmentid=3149690]
see the result ?

[attachmentid=3149691]
see the top piece broken from the board

[attachmentid=3149692]
the stable IDM speed between 1.35 ~ 1.45MB/s


This all result is amazing for a so called "Death Modem" WOW
the Maxis set is working amazingly with the back cover zig zag silver thing as second antenna and Panel antenna through the CRC9 convertor. even modem is broken and connect it together with external and internal antenna will still get it going,..

i dont have the TS-9 convertor yet, so i am not yet tested without the cover silver thing,

but for now i know if i take off the cover, signal & speed all drop

Bkt Jambul may be a bit congested , which part of Bkt Jambul ?

confirm u need to tweak for sure, SP is not congested

Added on November 11, 2012, 11:56 amnot changing the heatsink, but adding heatsink on top of the original heatsink, and strip off the silver metal thingy attach it to the board, with open cover concept, ZTE MF680 confirm will get cool down by my server fan

heavy wind and super cloud weather now, but speed is awesome still

Bro, my maxis set E372 is fine when plug in Panel ANtenna

going to do new experiment tomorrow on modem hardware modification on ZTE MF680 with parts from E372

actually not the tower, is "5" tower is all outside my window

my friend all come to my place, no matter with what line they use, they always say how come your places whatever line is also quite speedy compare to their house,..

Added on November 11, 2012, 4:31 pmi think your maxis set is fully lock to internal antenna though,.

even my maxis set E372 is half death, but still able to performs with panel, really shock the hell out of me

farlim is one of the most flat area in penang, so what do you say ?

my area not very high speed at all compare to my old places,

but my area speed is maintain day/night @ certain minimum level,.
not like my old place day time Cap kaw kaw and midnight release fulll speed only 3~4 hours

i am very sure there is base station too, but i am using Panel antenna to point towards Tower on top hill direction,base station is very low bandwidth compare to towers
