Hi Blacktubi, thanks for the effort for sharing this mini WiKi. I research a lot and found this is the best thread to find what i wana know.

I staying at Puchong Wawasan 2, a Maxis area with no fiber install. I am sick with the ADSL speed and really interested to get the Maxis Wireless Broadband, since the area covered by LTE.

I have one question, the network i need is to share with my wife. Therefore, i am considering between the 21Mbps MiFi modem and 42Mbps E372 + MR3420. I know the later will give me better speed, but I would like to know do i need to do any configuration or tuning for the E372+MR3420 in order for them to work perfectly? Or it's just simply plug and play?

I read the MR3420 thread, ppl talking about V1 & V2 then sharing about fix idle connection and disconnection. Then open firmware to fix issue, which are worrying me and keeping me away...

Can you give some advice?

MiFi is for portable usage and totally not recommended for 24/7 usage

Puchong do have LTE but not amazingly fast and antenna is required.

Just get special Maxis package and get E398 as your modem and TP-LINK MR3420 V2 as your modem. PM me if you need more info

Ignore the idle issue, its the custom firmware. Stock firmware is working well but you might need to use a pinger to make the connection on HSPA+

Using E372+MR3420(v1), speed at JB can reach 11.5MBps d/l, 2Mbps U/L
Connection is DC-HSPA+, as good as it gets.

I try update E372 with the firmware available in first page, but it is asking for password when upgrading. what's it then?

if combine with antenna ok?
me same situation with you.
but my line only get 2bar if put outside windows.
always the modem got stolen

tonight i will upload the picture.

u need a Flash code for flashing upgrading your E372 firmware,.

then, where do i get one?

nvm.got it

The youtube link for APN setting is for private only, please help.

super nice post TS
anyway, not sure this is the right place to ask, is TL-MR3040 compatible with Huawei U398? I checked on their site that only v2 is compatible with 4G modems, but hope anyone here can let me know if v1 can be used with E398?
many many thanks..

MR3040 is known for some compatibility issue

Flash to OpenWRT and

on crap, bought from a seller thru lelong, just to notice his was v2, payment made, dunno can cancel deal a not

hope it can at least work with E398, since OpenWRT not yet compatible with MR3040 v2.. haih

nice thread

What was the tweak that we did to our modem to increase the value default 222 to 444/450 ?

anyone still remembers it ?

i wanna chk my modem again, thanks

Search my topic and find the supercharge thread

I just subscribed to Maxis Home Wifi, bundled with a B660 Huawei modem. The speed is terrible as I only manage to get around 1mb/s of download max, even though the signal is full bar (shown on the modem gateway menu). Is it a modem problem or area problem?

Get a MF680 + Mr3420 router, cost abt rm260, sell the B660 , your "damage is only abt rm100, if u manage to sell the B660 for rm160

MF680+MR3420 now

How about this one from Maxis? Good or not?

This is a 21Mbit modem

Not to say good or not, but for sure a 42Mbit device would be faster than a 21Mbit one due to DC-HSPA+ support

Most of us here use at least 42Mbit or up to 100Mbit LTE device
