wanna ask u all, since new package all will be registered under 30GB quota, will it really be implemented? or just like Unifi, say 60Gb but just show only?
I plan to take phone with this package to replace my unifi, so quite concern if the quota is just 30GB, cos there are 4 users in my house and I don't think 30GB is enough

why u want to replace the unifi. my past experience told me that unifi much more stable then maxis.

pricey, using VIP 10 now, I wanted to downgrade to VIP 5, but that would require me to renew my contract to another 2 year, which I feel rather reluctant to do so

I suggest you better try first as Maxis is not fast on every lcoation

yeap, i will try maxis first, cos i will be taking the non contract one since i am still rather skeptical with the performance and fear of the 30GB cap.

thanks for the advice, I will try with this package in my area first on how is the performance, if the average is not even 3-4M, i think i will reconsider unifi again

my speed last night using laptop directly just right outside my house:
user posted image

but after manage to flash ROOter to MR3040 and connect using the router in my house( which is not even 3 meters away from the place i get the previous speed ) I only get roughly 6-10Mbps, and 10Mbps being rather rare..

is it possibly because my router provides lower power to the modem hence not that strong signal?

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.

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?

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 biggrin.gif

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

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

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

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 biggrin.gif

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
*
tested liao, no difference.
Right now reverted some value to stock, and adjust angle of the modem, I'm able to get ~15Mbps download with ~50ms ping, good enough for me, although it's nothing compared to what Ms Fruitie got... Hope they put higher signal antenna to Sunway later on, lol

--
update, it does seems like sometimes when I load pages the pages layout are off( seems like css was not fetched ) or some images are shown to be broken link until i refresh again, soemtimes a few times to get everything loaded, is this normal? any solution for that?

not really just facebook, happens to some major sites like gsmarena, android police also, sometimes the layout are completely off( maybe css not loaded ) and a few pictures appeared broken link... does that have anything to do with my line being unstable? or just a typical maxis issue?

Previously we did feel this but it is on certain site eg Facebook

Your usual download speed got no issue right

yeap, tested last night, it's around 10~20Mbps, ups and downs, but mostly stable, maybe I'll try gaming tonight..
I suspect my data spikes a lot, which is rather obvious in speedtest, but not like I game a lot these days, so should be fine biggrin.gif

Try locking modem to 2100Mhz on MDMA to reduce tower jumping.

FInd a nice feng shui spot which got more stable signal laugh.gif
*
I'm using LTE on my place, signal is averagely around -79 to -87, which is ~40-60% only, and locked to 2600Mhz
but since my router has just been supported on ROOter, dunno why my Modem information will never show me what connection I am in, and the prefered connection type is also not shown, not to mention connecting to internet itself from reboot takes ~3-4 minutes, which is rather long. Hoping later build will get that fixed.

But with the upload speed closing to 10Mbps, I can conclude that I should be on LTE instead of H+, tonight need to find feng shui spot and try again, hope can get ~70% signal stable la, lol

What is your connection if you lock it to 1800Mhz

1800Mhz got better signal penetration compared to 2600Mhz.

Anyway your connection did stabilize after flashing to OpenWRT because from what I know MR3040 stock firmware is very buggy?
*
lol, MR3040 stock firmware can't even connect. I keep seeing modem status as "Identifying..." -> "Identified" then when i click connect, it shows "Unplugged" doh.gif
then after 30 seconds or so it repeats itself again... maybe I'm doing something wrong there, but I'm just not sure

1800Mhz is better, I'm getting -69 or so with that frequency, problem is the speed, I recall getting ~5-6Mbps and some rare 15Mbps speed on average, compared to 2600Mhz which has higher speed in average. I recall the page loading issue is present on 1800Mhz as well, but this 2 days was out till late so I didnt get much chance to test it, but lemme confirm this, 1800mhz has higher penetration but lower speed, while 2600 has lower penetration but higher speed?

oh my... just notice even Dota 2 can't connect also... looks like I need to have public IP liao.. thanks
by some, how much do u mean? capped to a certain speed? and what would be the speed?

also, is there any alternatives to this?


nvm, did some research, clear about the whole public private IP now, jeez, so mafan.

To be honest Boleh quality is higher.

Wont elaborate further since FinchVPN price is more value

hmm, lemme go check

registered Finch, but seems still cant connect to Dota 2, maybe i'm missing something hmm.gif

just another curious thing, I figure it has nothing directly related to Biz68, but is it possible to config a router level vpn, since finch has OpenVPN plugin it seems, and how does the certificate work in this case
