Dear Sifus, I am a postpaid Digi user who is stuck with Streamyx 2Mbps at home. I checked my place's LTE signal strength which is -103. Is this signal good enough for 20Mbps if I get a Cat6 4G modem and Digi Infinite 150? I checked Speedtest & Opensignal, both gave me different readings.

Fast.com gives me a inconsistent reading, from 2.6Mbls, 4.3, 6.4 & highest is 8Mbps. What is your LTE signal strength to get >10Mbps?

Strange, I am in LTE-A coverage, but my reading is worst than yours. Does iPhone 6+ support LTE-A?

Update: Yep, iPhone 6+ supports LTE-A Cat4 only.

Thanks! Will get a Cat6 Modem

Me too. Mine is transaction failure after keying in CC and TAC to apply for supplementary infinite plan under my principal postpaid number. After 4 failures, I just change my existing supplementary plan and now I am one of the infinite 150 users. Can't wait for my E5186 to arrive next week!!!

Just received my Huawei E5186s-22. The speed test with DiGi Infinite 150 is superb for my area, 30Mbps Down, 6Mbps Up. However, the problem is the Huawei router keeps restarting on its own. Is this a common problem? Only 3 clients connected. Will flashing the firmware with the guide by Blacktubi solves the problem? Oh dear.... I bought it from Taobao... I hope I don't have to return it to China.....

i150 User here, using E5186s-22a, Stock firmware. Tonight's connection has been bad, but I have a regular problem as speedtests on my laptop is always slower than on mobile phones on the same WIFI at the same spot.

On Laptop


On iPhone


Is this a common problem?

Restarted and still as bad. 115ms ping, 1.5Mbps download, 4Mbps Upload. Reporting in from Penang.

Speed’s back to normal in the morning. I wonder what happened last night.

Same here. And after each payment failure, you need to wait for hours before you can pay again. Even live chat and Digi support couldn’t help. I relented and just change my existing unused supplementary Digi family line to Infinite 150. The change of plan took like only 12 hours.

Can you suggest a good dongle?

You probably accidentally subscribed to some SMS services as I googled and found that Fortumo is some form of SMS service that uses direct carrier biling.

To all sifus,

I am using E5186s-22a using Huawei firmware version 21.316.01.00.00. I have been getting better speedtest results on my mobile than on my laptop at the same spot.

iPhone 5S - (7Mbps Download, 22Mbps Upload)
rMBP Late 2013 - (6Mbps Download, 3Mbps Upload)

Will updating the firmware get a more even result? Also, will adding an antenna will help to improve my speeds? Envious of ppl getting 50Mbps download speed.

This is my LTEWatch screenshot


Thanks!

My Laptop is on 5Ghz. Can i use LTEWatch to change the setting without upgrading the firmware?

Thanks. Do I have to flash the firmware (eg. LMT) to get better speeds? My E5186 is on original Huawei firmware

Did you buy from Taobao the E5186 original Huawei version or the rebadged one? I bought mine Original Huawei version from Taobao, but it came with OEM packaging and without seal. Actually I don't mind, as long as it works, but it kept restarting on its own every 7 minutes. I suspect it's a faulty one from the beginning. Eventually I bought a second one from Sing4G via Lazada and it came with original packaging and sealed. That is my first and last purchase from Taobao.

No. But strangely, the firmware of my E5186 from Taobao is different than my 2nd E5186 from Sing4G.

Nope, Infinite 150 need not be the principle line. I subscribe i150 as my supplementary line to my principle postpaid 80 line

Is there any advantage? For me. My principal line postpaid 80 is my regular mobile number. I just subscribe infinite 150 a dummy number as my supplementary account to use it as wifi at home. Nobody calls me on my new number.
