10GB for RM68. Most users terminated.

Since there's so much demand on antennas, I will share a bit on some basic antenna guide.

Don't bother on tiny antenna, you are better off with the internal antenna in that case. I do not recommend getting antenna unless the signal is terrible at your location. LTE is much more complicated than GSM.

If you really need it, get a panel antenna and make sure you aim it right. Use tools like MDMA to assist you. Aim around until you get the best signal. Feel free to ask me for more info.

Not recommended unless you install it correctly. LTE is much more complicated, unlike 3G. You are better off try to place your modem at a better place.

I will use the antenna like this and call it a day. Even Cisco use this kind of antenna.

LMR400 is great but it is overkill for short run 1-3m. It may tear the antenna port out from your USB modem as it is really heavy.

I recommend LMR240. LMR400 is commonly used for in-building coverage by telco.

That's what I mean. You are better off by placing your modem at a better place.

I should state that the picture is for the example of the antenna design, the antennas in the picture are crap. Get them from a better manufacturer.

The design of the 320U is quite old already. USB modem + router combo will face some performance issues as well.

All in one router is the way to go if you want performance.

Get Huawei original B593 antenna.

However, I don't really recommend antenna, pure USB modem is good enough. You won't see significant improvement.

Do you guys receive any emails when you registered for the plan? I didn't receive any emails and I have no idea how to check my registration status.

Alright, thanks for the tips. I will contact them regarding this matter soon.

Will stay around and help out you guys.
E398 is certainly one of the most durable modem out there.

Digi 4G LTE for my old house, I am blessed with this currently.

I could've subscribed to the 500Mbps plan but I don't need that much of a bandwidth.


My fixed broadband is under utilised as well. But now I have a NAS and it is acting as a media server for me to stream movies when I am not home.

I just received my SIM card today, Digi is really efficient! It takes only 1 day from application to receive the SIM card.

The network is terrible at Subang Jaya though. I am getting just 4Mbps on 4G, luckily this is not where I intend to use this SIM card. Tethered on my Huawei E5776.

From my old Huawei E3276. I consider it to be rather decent. Suburban 4 bars -70dBm

Edit: I am on B7 2600Mhz

Anyone use the E5186s-61a? It is cheaper.

rhytion I doubt the hardware is even CA capable to begin with.

In this case, it's not on dual CA mode. Only single carrier.

Edit: I guess it was a known issue with the phone. Refer here

If you are lucky you can force as well.

Same way as forcing band on E5186.

Buy the router and test first. See what is the difference when it is placed outdoor vs indoor.

Some explanation on LTE technology and modem tips.

LTE-A = Cat 6 and above.
Huawei E398 is Cat 3 (100Mbps)
Huawei E3276 is Cat 4 (150Mbps)
Huawei E5186 is Cat 6 (300Mbps) with dual carrier aggregation

Dual carrier aggregation is the combination of 2 cells in order to deliver higher performance. In layman terms, load balancing. If you are buying a new LTE modem, I suggest getting a CAT6 capable modem. But please make sure you can receive both 1800Mhz and 2600Mhz band first.

The performance still depends on signal strength and user density of the particular cell you are connected to.

You should be able to get better performance with a Cat 6 capable LTE modem if you already able to get 20Mbps on the E398.

Use MDMA to lock your E398 on 1800Mhz and 2600Mhz and see if you can receive both frequency.

I can only think of E5186 E5786 and Sierra AC790s currently.

I believe 433 is the final firmware.

Who is interested if I organise a bulk?

Anyway, Sierra devices run on Qualcomm modem. Some say it is better than Kirin/HiSilicon.
