Anytime my best modem is MF680, having said that i am buying a MF820D which is LTE proof

and i rotate usage on all my modems , infact i also bought a used MF680 recently too, so my 42mbps modem stable now are 2#MF680, E372 , E398 and a yet to arrive MF820D

i still have 2# Icon505,UMG1831, MF691, E5331 and some 7.2Mbps pop yeah yeah too........... ,

@digilife is modem geek & collecter.... how many line did you have?

i only have e398 that why im recommend that
it serve me well. abit hot though

only one Maxis simcard

i also have a few 3G routers too.

pls dun be like me, this is a crazy hobby

I actually need therapy to get rid of this crazy " Broadband Infatuation"

This would be my next target

there's hardly anyone can be like you,. unless they have tons of cash to spare,.

that model is soho wireless,.. if u dont config/play play with setting,.. i think it is wasted to buy and keep in store to collect dust

from my past experience,..

when after flashing the wrong firmware causing the purple led gone,..

i notice when after freshly flashing,... the first time u insert sim and plug into computer or router,.. the first connection is always meant to connected to 900MHz,..

since flashing wrong firmwareis no big deal when u could use older dashboard ( come with old DC-HSPA+ capable driver ) or router ( where u can manually input the modem bin file for DC-HSPA+ capable ),....or openwrt router ( which come together with DC-HSPA+ driver in the openwrt firmware )

so no big deal for the purple led as long as the modem itself can performs

currently ZTE MF820D is the most worth value LTE modem,..
using zte mf820D + openwrt router, u can directly use AT Command to force to LTE 1800 or 2600,..

I actually very thrifty on other things, just that Modems and Routers squeeze the cash out from me.

I agree if you are a Linux guy, you should not have problem configuring a Mikrotik, moreover this router have very strong WiFi and it can work wonders if you are good at it.

Abang Tubi should be able to guide us soon

Abang tubi is busy with his 760s already,.. hardly anytime left over to make a guide on that microtik,.

i agree that model wireless is 1000mW,.. confirm is powerful specs,. with the processor, and ram too,..

with openwrt, am sure that model can be wonders,.. .

well, for zte model, newer MDMA dont support, but if u are using with openwrt, can use AT COMMAND to band config still

Tell that to someone who loves photography as well.

Guess how much I have spent in these few months?

I can buy 50 units or more of E398.

So it is modems + photography = instant brankrupt

Digilife... that microtik AP is how much total damage ($$)?

Thanks for this, anyway not going to play with MF680 anymore since mine gone dead.

It stop recognizing my SIM card unless I am able to fix is some day

Probably too much flashing

that's different,. as u are very invest in your hobby like everyone else did,.

am sure everyone else is invest in something too, right ?

between rm300~rm350 depending from where you acquire it from.

that is not the main "damage"

how to "conquer" this Everest is the Main challenge......

If only MDMA can display SMS that will be perfect.

I'm using Company's Celcom line in my modem and I can't seem to forward calls to my own personal line...

I have tried that every time a call came in, it triggered the voice mail and missed call alert. I received the notification on MDMA but can't open the SMS...

Why don't you use Mobile PArtner?

I'm using but the SMS doesn't seem to come in instantly like MDMA.

Weird, just tested and mine appear instantly, using the latest Mobile PArtner in my siggy tho

Check your settings and see if the SMS notification disabled

If I get around 10-12Mpbs for DC-HSPA+, is it normal?
Only LTE got 30GB cap?

Considered nice for DC-HSPA+

Those getting 20+ are very rare now

Then I should bersyukur then
Is there a way to use Google DNS for Maxis?
