Digi 4G LTE coverage map

Recommended Modem and Routers:

Getting a LTE-A carrier aggregation router is recommended. It is able to perform better by combining 2 cells (B3 and B7). You can reach speed up to 80Mbps if you are lucky.

You can test with a LTE CA capable device such as Samsung S7, S8, iPhone 7 etc.

If there is no LTE CA at your location, a Cat 4 150Mbps modem is good enough if you do not care about future proof.

Carrier aggregation capable modem:
Huawei E5186 modem router ~RM600
• Able to support more users with better signal as it is a modem router.
• Avoid the s61a version over concern that it may not support carrier aggregation. Get the s22a version.Tools for Huawei E5186



Huawei E5787 mobile hotspot ~RM800

Other modems
Huawei E3276 USB modem 150Mbps ~RM250
Huawei E5776 mobile Hotspot 150Mbps ~RM300
Huawei B310 modem router 150Mbps ~RM350
TP-LINK MR6400 LTE modem router 150Mbps~RM400
TP-LINK MR200 LTE modem router 150Mbps~RM450

Factors that affect network performance:

1) Your device:
• Getting a new LTE modem especially a LTE CA capable one will have better performance.
• You might be having a faulty modem, try switching your SIM card with other modems.

2) Your signal coverage:
• If you are not within LTE-A coverage area or getting awful 1 bar signal, don't expect to have 20Mbps of speed.
• Consider placing your modem at a better spot.

3) Congested with other users:
• If you live in an area where there are a lot of Digi users, be prepared with network congestion.
• Even you have a 100Mbps modem, under serious congestion, you may not even get 5Mbps.

4) Timing:
• The network will be more congested at a certain time when there's a lot of users on the network. Bear with it, it is normally the fastest during midnight.

Ok..thanks, I trust you

hi v2

not expensive..just buy and test it...for me does't helping..lol

Huawei E5577 also good, big battery and less than RM400.
Buy from Andrew's E-Store. WhatsApp them at +60 19-389 3232 for a good price. Hurry up their stock limited.

As a suggestion maybe users here can list out smartphones that are tested to be working with Digi's LTE-A.. This to ensure that future users or buyers will buy the correct phone.. Some of us just wanted to use it on their phone instead of modems or routers..

Infinite 80 reporting in.
Congratulations ts on the V2.

Bought the 88dbi fake antenna. No speed improvement, but signal stability improved a lot.
I was able to get stable 3 bars. Without the antenna, it was hovering around 2 bars, sometimes 3 bars
Not too shabby.

For the E5186 antenna, not worth if you have to buy it. If you get it free, then it is better than nothing

My friend came to my room just now and saw my speed. He was like "syukurlah".

88dbi? really? antenna nowadays really that powerful or complete bogus?

Currently I just use an old 18dbi meteorlink 3G antenna (the long exterior one with 18 "fins") on my LTE connection MF831 modem, probably not optimal location did get 10dbi-ish improvement.
With antenna 98dbi (not a good day right now, a bit rain), 22mb down 7.5mb up
Without antenna 109dbi, 13.2mb down 4.8mb up

Let say if I want to upgrade to the latest next-gen antenna, any suggestion? My antenna ports are 2 x TS9

still using e398 + mr3420 due to my area still outside of LTE-A area

-double posted-

This post has been edited by ken120: May 20 2017, 12:46 AM

Best speed i can get with e398 & mr3420 v2

I will filter through since those models may not have LTE CA in Malaysia. Already building a small list on #1. Thanks anyway.

anyone using yagi Antenna here?

My area has no LTE-A, but with 4g coverage, tested on my phone the speed is around 20mbps for download near window, in the room is ard 12mbps...

Should I get a LTE-A router es5186 or b310 since I have no LTE-A coverage?
Cuz I am thinking es5186 is future proof that later my area might have LTE-A coverage (just thinking)

I have another question is yagi antenna, how do u guys install it on the roof? The length of the cable will affect the speed am I right? How long is the optimum length? 5meter?

modem signal are greater than hp signal. buy LTE-A modem for future use if have budget.

yagi antenna out of stock. not sure when it will restock.

worth to try it with a 4G modem.

For me my area also is 4G only. i'm worst.. digi only2~3bar signal. 3G & 4G flipping..

test with ipad max speed i get with 4G only 16mbps cant see higher..

After get a modem. speed is good for me. above 20mbps. modem detect signal 4bar with stable 4G signal.

This post has been edited by alexchew_2020: May 20 2017, 01:11 AM

My suggestion is don't. YAGI is not actually designed to be used with LTE. You can but the gain is limited. Not to mention that it's hard to get it right.

Hi, Fruitie.
Is it you bought Huawei E5186 from Taobao?
could you recommend me which seller you get it?
How much?

I'm using Huawei E8372 on TP-Link mr3220 router. It is okay to leave it turned on 24/7 or should I turn it off at night?

Network signal guru works quite well and has the same function to check network band and carrier aggregation but it only works on Qualcomm chipset devices

Yes, from Taobao.
You can easily find seller for this model, make sure yours is 22a.

Can. Since last time, I never turn off my router.

And only can work on rooted phones.

Hello, I want to buy this mifi but don't know which version to choose.

huawei modem not support VoLTE

This post has been edited by HolySatan: May 20 2017, 09:36 AM

HolySatan The VoLTE is not working on the E5186?

Top up a bit more and get Huawei E5776. It is much better.

i just purchased the i150 and the account status is active.
Can i go to digi centre and replace the sim straight?
so i can use it today?

Reporting in captain....

After getting the API config do i click write directly to API button?Thanks.

Mind telling where to buy cordless phones ?

Or anywhere else on line

Mind telling where to buy cordless phones ?

Or anywhere else on line

Maybe if u trim those lalang it can get faster???


LOL...just kidding....i tried putting the modem like what u did but when i put it near a window grill it seems to have worst reception...try putting it away from metal grill but still facing the window...


And dont forget those lalang also....

I already have E5577. This one just for play play because so cheap.
Can you help me to choose which version can use in Malaysia.
TQ.

Just wanna check...is our simcard LTE-A activated???

I don't like E5776 because built-in battery. If battery got problem then difficult to replace it.
That's why I bought E5577.

not working.. but got sms from digi..



yes

TM phone also can use.. or buy online



haha.. not mine.. copy from FB group

need to find best spot in house for best coverage & speed..

or use external antenna

We are having the same frequency with 联通 if I am not mistaken.

Not working on my 5186 either.
Set to 4g only mode, no calls can be connected.

So, which one to choose? All of them having these words.
I translated them with google translate and get these.
So confusing..

五模版

(Support mobile Unicom 4G3G)


三模版

I think the 四模版 should be fine but no guarantee on it.

Thank you blacktubi. Chinese words are very confusing in term of technical.

voLTE, beside of hardware support, it need firmware support. I know it because my Z3, need flash some files + setting some modem file (probably the telco setting like apn) only can work.

Anybody using black E5186 like mine?



The seller asked me to choose my colour and I chose black instead.

Anyone here got VoLTE working on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3?

Mine, but it will be white color with TELE2 logo.

What firmware your modem is running?

White is too mainstream.
I check later, I'm at outside now.

Black tele2 reporting in

What is the impact of the firmware?
Is it on speed or calls?

Don't simply update firmware, may not be compatible with our networks later. Since ours are mostly reflashed unit.

Go to Digi website on Volte. Only iPhone and certain phone.

Mi devices no VOLTE. Only iPhone or Huawei Mate 9 Series has!

Hi,

Just wondering, did anyone tried the Huawei E5186 with the 35dBi external antenna (the cross square shaped one) ?

How much you bought this?

Anyone having problem login to world.taobao.com? I can't login using Infinite 150 but no problem using streamyx.

Ok, so far
Might need to setup google dns by default

[CODE]

I already setup Google DNS by default. Visit the taobao website no issue, only can't login. Don't know why streamyx no problem.

Not nice to share as I have sold one to another forummer.
You can easily find in Taobao.

I can. Not on Google DNS.

Sorry but I will appreciate no personal sales in discussion threads. Thanks.

Can refer how to choose lte band with snapdragon @ mediatek 4g chipset

Performance and features.

always getting speeds like this where the download speed and upload speed isn't proportional. I think Digi is throttling the download speed, Puchong area. signal 3/5, b310, B3 locked

at the world taobao login page refresh again , and then key in password. it solved for me usually by refresh...

yeay..version 2 already👍

btw..now sg.buloh heavy raining . this speed test result;


Attached thumbnail(s)

hmm wanna ask those digi users, which signal bar is better 4G or LTE that appears on the phone. using iphone 5s btw. Because I jumped ship from maxis and it was usually 4G usually. but when on Digi it was mostly LTE most of the time.

speedtest result during heavy raining at my house sg.buloh.


Attached thumbnail(s)

Nice speed... Sg buloh which area..? Near Tasik Biru only got DL speed around 10-15 mbps ...

4G is 4th generation. LTE is one of the 4G. For mobile phone, it mean the same thing. Another 4G is wimax.
