Got my antenna ytd so time for a quick review.
No pictures cause lazy
Test equipment:
DLink DWM156 7.2mbps modem
Huawei E398 also sold by TS
MR3420
Panel antenna sold by TS
Y-USB cable
Maxis WBB, supposedly up to 42mbps
100mb test file
1. Dlink DWM156 (does not support ext antenna)
Signal as per MR3420: 55% (HSDPA only boo

)
Speedtest: 0.8mbps - 1mbps (WTF!)
Actual download speed: No idea. Gave up after seeing speedtest
2. E398 w/o antenna
Signal as per MR3420: 67%
Speedtest: 2-3 mbps (DC-HSPA+)
Actual download speed: est 380kbps
3. E398 w. antenna (with random aiming)
Signal as per MR3420: 80% to 90% (DC-HSPA+)
Speedtest: 4-6 mbps (6mbps with a bit of aiming)
Actual download speed: 500-600kbps
All in all a really good product:)
Just need to spend sometime aiming the antenna and it'll produce some noticeable speed increase despite too many people congesting the test area.
In a less congested area, E398 alone, speedtest went up to 14mbps:)
Both great products from TS and are highly recommended
Now just need to find a way to mount it without drilling holes in the wall
