I think the only difference between these two is B315 has three LAN ports, while B310 only has one. Everything else is the same. So if I were u, I would just buy B310

Just bought a Digi Infinite for my parents, to be used as Broadband. At the order page, it says there I will need to provide my IC to the delivery guy. Will GDex be that strict in implementing that? Because I'm in KL while my parents are in the East Coast. So, I won't be there to verify with my IC.

I've recently found a Huawei Band Tool that should work well with many Huawei Dongles/Wingles/Routers etc. I'm using Huawei B310as-852 and the E5186 tool doesn't really play well with my router, there's error message all the time. Hence that's why I tried to google for any other tools that could be used.

This tool would require a very basic command line knowledge. So give it a go. Nothing too difficult. There are versions for Windows/Mac/Linux but I will just show here how to use it in Windows, since I presume many of us just use Windows anyway.

Original link to the tool here, in German https://www.lteforum.at/mobilfunk/huawei-band-tool.7970/

Features

- Lock any supported bands (including CA bands).
- Lock the network operator.
- Change the antenna mode.
- Signal display.
- CLI tool with relay function for scripts.
- Easily expandable with scripts.

Instructions

1. Download the tool here https://nofile.io/f/RzeKgTuZg7T/huawei_band_tool_v0.1.zip

2. Extract the tool to anywhere you want. I just place it at my desktop.

3. Open the folder and look for the text file called "huawei_band_tool_config". Edit the username and password to your router in that text file.

4. Go to file explorer. Type C:\\WINDOWS\system32 in the address bar

5. Find the command line application, CMD. Right click and create a shortcut to the Desktop.

6. Right click on the desktop shortcut of CMD, click properties. Put the exact path of the extracted folder in the "START IN" value. Mine is "C:\users\MrGray\Desktop\Windows" . Yours would be different.

7. Open the command line shortcut in desktop. Type "dir" to get a list of all available commands.

Type the desired scripts to get the results. The full list is available in the original thread but I'm just going to show a few main ones that I like to use. At any time, just type "ENTER" to exit to the main command line.

1. Command: LTE_ALL.BAT . Explanation: Enable all supported LTE bands


2. Command: LIST_AVAILABLE_OPERATORS.BAT. Explanation: Show all available operators that could connected to the router. My Huawei B310as-852 supports LTE Band B3/B7/B8/B38 and B40. And at my current location, I can connect to all networks. YEAY. . 502153 refers to Webe. Since this router doesn't support B5, I'm very sure Webe has rolled out B40 LTE at my area.



3. Command: LTE_1800.BAT . Explanation: Lock to LTE B3



It would be really nice if somebody could convert this into an easy GUI application.

**EDIT. I've played around further with the tool and I've found the following list of networks according to the bands at my location . Now I also know that Digi has enabled its B8 LTE at my place.

B3: Celcom, Maxis, Digi and U Mobile
B7: Celcom, Maxis, Digi and U Mobile
B8: Digi
B38: Yes 4G
B40: Yes 4G and Webe.

For calls, connection will automatically change to HSDPA/3G/2G. So of course the Internet would deteriorate. I can't think of any router that supports VOLTE at the moment.

Buy a dedicated router la.

I use Huawei B310. It's a CAT 4 router, so no LTE-A. But I'm satisfied with it, consistently around 30mbps speed.

Besides dedicated router, another good option would be to use a powerful router with USB port + USB dongle like Huawei E3372.

I'm currently trying to find a decent Asus router that has USB port. IMHO, Asus router usually has better wireless range than Huawei. Its user interface is better too.

Huawei E8372 is similar. And cheaper too. Small routers like E8378 and E8372 are okay for a few devices. And the distance covered is quite small too. WiFi performance is worse than dedicated routers, as expected from the cheaper price. I prefer dedicated routers like Huawei B310, E5186 or Dlink DWR921 or TP-LINK MR200.

Your router is probably faulty. Send an email to english@service.alibaba.com on how to claim refund/return. And Taobao representative would reply to you in english.

Your router is quite old, and it only supports 3G dongle, according to this link http://global.dlink.com.sg/site_support/DS...ibilityList.pdf

Huawei B310? Also a cat 4 router. Much cheaper too.

Huawei E5172s-515 supports LTE B2, B5 and B7.

Maxis/u mobile/digi/celcom use B3 and B7 mainly. So if your area doesn't have B7. The router would fall back on 3G.

If I were you, I would just buy a dongle. And pair that with the router.

Huawei E3372h-153 would be a good choice. It supports LTE B3, B7 and B8. So very suitable for Digi.

You'd kill the battery in no time. If u were to use it as mifi everyday.

That means it's not connected to the network. Open 192.168.8.1 and check. It could be you choose 2G only and there's no Digi 2G in your area.

Just install mydigi app on your Android/iPhone. You can check your quota there.

Really. I don't have any problem with the new my digi app on android.

There's no 4G router below RM300. Second hand, probably you can find.

Only maxis has that feature. It's not possible with digi or celcom or u mobile.

Amex can be used as autobilling. But you'll need to register the auto billing at digi store.
