Both my Intel 82573L Gigabit 1000Mbps Network Card and TP-LINK AC1900 Wireless Dual Band PCI Express Card Adapter arrived yesterday.
I fixed up the TP-Link AC1900 to one of my two PCI-e slot and voila, I was able to get 150 mbps speed off my Huawei B618 modem and Digi Infinite i150. I was very happy with the result and did not bother to fix up the Intel Gigabit Network card to my computer.
The reason being I put up my B618 and CCTV receiver high up on my kitchen cabinet (most ideal place for me after shifting around several days and testing it). It is central access position to my old desktop computer, devices and four CCTV points around the house with the least obstructing walls. Thus I needed this wireless TP-Link AC1900 to hook up to my old computer and it received good signals.
I intend to put the spare Intel Network card in another computer in another house.
Coming from a streamyx user, I am more than happy with my present result. It's so eye-popping seeing my HD movie downloaded at about twenty times faster than my streamyx capped at 8 mbps.
Conclusion : Even with an old computer, one can achieve over 100 mbps if one has the right combination of modem (B618), telco access (Digi i150) and computer accessory upgrade (TP-Link AC1900). Of course you must also be lucky to have your house situated in a right place where there are strong and fast telco LTE+ signal.
Hi, i read some of the feedback that i150 is not able to connect to CCTV unless through VPN, is that your case?
Also, which area you are in? Did you do any special setting on your B618 (65D version) or just auto configure?
I am in Seremban, and the fastest i can get is around 60 Mbps, with Band 7 (CA is slightly slower around 50 Mbps)
