My sister's house in Rasah Kemayan, near to Sri Carcosa Seremban can easily get 8Mbps and above but somehow the speed seems to have deteriorated over the months.

Can i knoe your location ?

From what i see, you are using a LTE modem and a direct plug in gives you maximum speed based on your cell capability.

When you use the modem on a router , the slower speed could be due to the router's FW which have QoS restriction.

I was told certain fw use PPP protocol to dial in and it restricts your connection to a max of 25Mbps only.

Another reason is that signal interference from the router's component affect the modem's performance and power source is another factor which will affect the speed too........


ROOter fw

Read carefully the instructions b4 doing any flashing and download your correct FW version only.

1043ND on Huntsman 2013-05-12b rocks mama

I'm at Sunway, specifically nearby taylors college lakeside. Do u know if they have a tower there? if they have, I can very much face my modem there to get higher signal. Averagely indoor i'm getting 50% signal.

I've tested now in my office, Bandar Utama, direct plug in I'm getting 17Mbps, with router I'm just getting around 12Mbps, I can pretty much suspect it's the router.

I'm using TP-Link MR3040, flashed to OpenWRT ROOter firmware, that seems to have build specifically to unleash the full power of LTE modems instead of having the 25Mbps cap. Is is possible also due to the lower power being supplied into my modem when I plug into the router? Or is there somewhere in the QoS setting that I can adjust to improve that?

xphr3ak I used an E398 connected to my PC directly.

What modem are you using ?

You are on LTE now rite ?

If i were you, buy a 1043ND, flash it to Huntsman 12b, you would be amazed

E398 right now, and yeap, using LTE, the thing is dunno how to get better signal with it, I already supercharged it but still just getting constant ~50% signal strength.. tonight need to find feng shui spot in my house liao

I'm using MR3040 and right now using Huntsman 12b also wor, haha

Same lar...
Before i can get ~4-6mbps constantly.
Now,

Hopefully, E398 will give some improvement.

But mine is still 8Mbps, last time can get around 10Mbps.

Miss Fruitie, How fast is your Maxis LTE now ?

I have two connections with LTE.
One is still at the normal 40-50Mbps.
The other one is capped at 22Mbps because I think exceeded the cap.
I'm now waiting for 17th, my bill will be refreshed on that day.

Ms Fruitie lives at which area, speed so nice one? I hope to get that speed in my area too

the 1st one is for what plan?

the 2nd one is for what plan?

Seapark, PJ.

Are you a fan of Fear Factor, if yes ~

Get a 1043ND and flash it to HM12b

Use a 2.A power adaptor if you dare

Connect via Cat6E Lan cable only, disable WiFi on router .

Tell us the result

2.0A? just so nice that I have one at home

actually, based on my knowledge on power, as long as it stays 5V, it's save, higher A only provides higher current flow, for phone batteries, it charges faster, for routers, I'm not sure what's the effect, but I think it should be safe.

Imma try it tonight la, if successful getting stable speed with nice signal, I can dump unifi with no regret ( yet ) liao

I guess you are rite

I have a Dlink adaptor and it read like this Output +5V ~ 2.5A

Your D-Link router run on 5V only?

MR3420 is 12V so not compatible

bro, 12V is DC la............

this 5V thingy is 5V AC wor

Wow! Nowadays router run AC.

My speed
