I know most of you here are asking, "Why is my speed slower compared to others?", "Is my area covered with DC-HSPA+?" and etc.
First and foremost if you are using a Huawei modem (not MiFi and Huawei E355), please download Mobile Data Monitoring Application (MDMA) to know how's the performance of your modem and connection. If you are using ZTE, there are extra steps which you will need to do before MDMA works on your side. That will be shared in next post.
Download MDMA 1.0.0.31 Beta 10 from here. - Credits to the original creator: ginggs
Potential errors that may occur:
Error 1: Unable to open COM port, mobile data device possibly in use by another application.
Before running MDMA make sure you have no other applications or dashboards (Maxis/Mobile Partner/Other software dashboards) open that might be using your data device's communications port.
Error 2: Error 623: The system could not find the phone book entry for this connection.
You will need to create a RAS (dial up) connection your MDMA so that it will connect when you click "Connect". Steps to get it done:
1) Open Network and Sharing Centre
2) Set up a new connection or network
3) Connect to the Internet
4) Choose Dial Up
5) Set the *99# as dial number
6) Rename connection name to MDMA
7) Click "Connect"
8) Click "Skip"
9) Click "Done"
10) Run MDMA
11) Click "Connect"
Band Configuration:
After you have connected to MDMA, you can select the band config that suits your connection the best (provided your modem is at least a dual band modem). However, UMTS 900 is said to have better performance in indoor whereas UMTS 2100 is said to have better performance in outdoor. These days UMTS 2100 is the more preferred band as it is faster compared to UMTS 900.
To perform your band config:
WARNING: DO NOT TRY THIS AT ALL! We will not be responsible if this bricks your modem.
Friendly Reminder for USB Modem Removal:
You can click on "Reset Device" when you need to unplug your modem and replug into USB port.
USSD Commands:
For those who need to perform USSD commands, for e.g. to check account balance via *100# (for Maxis), type your command at the "USSD Commands" box and click "Send USSD".
Firmware/COM Port and Other Details of Your Modem:
Click on "Device Info" to check them out
How Good is Your Connection?
1) Green bar is longer = Good signal
2) RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) number is lower = Good signal
3) SNR (Sound and Noise ratio) number is lower = Good strong signal
-You can keep moving your modem around and search for better signal spot, while doing this can click "Detect Device" to find better signal spot.

Whatever setting is been done in MDMA will be saved into the USB modem itself permanently and will not alter or change until we change it again in MDMA program? Eg.
Run PC's MDMA program to set E372 BandConfig to merely UMTS2100 single band, unplug the E372 from PC and then insert it into TP-MR3420 router; What would be the E372 Band setting value after inserted MR3420 router? Still UMTS2100 or remain the original default setting values from manufacturer?
Thanks for clearing up my doubts.
