speed stability and over heat will be the main concern.

what i can said, panel very usefull for me.

after checking with blacktubi, he said that no maxis tower at my current place now.

then i call maxis to double comfirm it, cs told me that only hav 1 tower at my current place.

so with only 1 tower,with only support 3G signal...very bad signal + stability + speed drop

after applying the panel antenna, my speed more stability and can get 3Mbps IDM speed.

but,huhu...when i do ping + downloading..i get higher ping time...

like screenshort below.

can someone explain to me?

it is normal, when i start my IDm download sometimes ping will shoot up to 200~500ms, it is very normal especially when u uploading file,


my example:

[attachmentid=3161653]

ping will raise :

- when your Download & upload speed either one or both running nearly @ max ( Max in your available connection from your area base station )

- when u upload huge big file

- when tower congested/super busy

- when weather is super bad affected the SNR ( sound and noise ratio ) measurement of your signal

just remember to limit any of your software upload speed, so your ping will be maintain low and Download speed will increase


before using panel antenna from blacktubi, ping even higher than what u see in screenshot, and now after using, ping consider much lower already during heavy Download session

Added on November 18, 2012, 3:19 amyou should place the usb fan blowing from either of the zte mf680 side, can remove the sim card cover, it will help,..

blowing from the side of external antenna hole or the microsd memory card slot, the wind will penetrate better compare to just blowing like in your photo

chuah, your antenna put under the hot sun and rain right? everything ok? even nowadays crazy raining season....

Blacktubi seems very busy to reply my PM

I am unavailable due to some private reason

Sorry for that, I will reply all PM after I go some rest guys.

Until now I guess no one get my reply yet

Thanks

yea that way will able to hit the heat inside,.. i have try to open front cover, but once the second silver antenna on cover been remove, signal & speed both drop tremendously, i am still finding a way to on how to open front cover,.

open both back cover is the only option for now,.. too bad front part is the real hot part,.. will post and share if i find any way to tackle it

u can test, midnight hour ping is normally better than day time hours,.

Added on November 18, 2012, 4:11 pmYea my panel is mount on outdoor since day 1,.. and due to inside dont have any electronic chipset, so raining and sunny is no problems,.

yea still working like a charm even in super bad weather/heavy rain/ super strong wind / thunderstorm & lightning as well my connection never change a bit

off topic question,.

between B932 and B669, which one performs better for you ? as in signal, speed, consistency and stability ?

B660 is a bit better, not much difference actually.

thanks for your quick answer,

really appreciate

well, your answer strength start from 100% (No) then become 80% (not really) and keep decrease to 50% (i dont think so)

no,

i use it in thunderstorm / lightning before

when my panel antenna arrive, my area been raining/lightning for 1 weeks +,..

so i can say this panel is amazing,.

I hope it can work on my B660 and B932 as well

if the connector is fit, it should work like the way it will ,..

this panel is much stronger than a few previous antenna i had tried,
