Sorry to necro this thread, i just got a ZTE dongle from Maxis with the SIM.

Due to my line having LOS issue and maxis cannot send anyone to fix during this MCO.

After i fix the dongle to the Tplink router and all is fine, i can get about 1.5mbps (only) but after a few hours the dongle become very hot and can get only 0.1mbps, like nothing, difficult to connect to any Internet. Yes, there is still blue light.

Is it due to the location of the dongle poor coverage?
I can't check maxis signal bar because no maxis phone.
Only got digi and Umobile.

most probably your signal too weak caused the heat

1.5mbps is a way too slow, decent is 20mbps above

Thanks for the info, i played around with the location, put outside the house, middle, back etc, best i can get is outside 2.8Mbps, middle of house 1.8 to 3.9 unconsistant. Probably thats the best speed in my area.
Yes, blue light is blinking meaning has 4G, but a very slow 4G.

I played around and only get a 5mbps, but location under leaking aircon

Anyway, i went for the 3mbps location and added 2 mini fans to cool the dongle. So far no disconneting even during slow speed.
