I've been through 3 modems in the past 2 months. Each one gives me the same problem. The Internet light stays green but the DSL light goes red. I've tried everything. I've tried resetting. I've tried resetting the line from Telkom. I'm with Afrihost and I'm definitely not out of my cap and my...
Hi guys and gals,
Haven't been here for quite a while, so hi again from Australia. :)
Thought you may be interested in a little project that was spawned in a Whirlpool Australia thread and has snowballed rapidly into creating a bunch of pretty heavy hitting 3/ 4G routesr, using OpenWRT as...
I have a Huawei E1752 3G Dongle, using 8ta and it is all connected to a ZyXel nbg4115 Router (new).
When i connect using just the Dongle i get: Ping :60, DL 5MB, UP 2MB.
BUT when plugged into the router i get: Ping 100-120, DL 1.5MB, UP 0.4MB.
I have upgraded firmware on both units...
Hi All,
We have tried different 3G modems with all different ISP's for 3G in Harding Kwazulu Natal.
However, I noticed the new Hauwei B683 Wirelles HSDPA Router, will this help or won't it make a difference.
According to the ISP's sites, full 3G coverage is available in the area, Cell C...
Been trying for hours. Google didn't help, nor did the manuals. Using a D-Link DWR-113 3G router for my CellC data connection. Want to use my horribly slow ADSL as failover when/if CellC fails for any reason. Seems this is rocket-science.
Settings so far:

Hi all,
I seem to be having connectivity issues with my silver surfer 2mbps modem. I live in a high-rise building and have direct line-of-sight to two towers and the modem Link Information page is indicating a signal strength of 100%. I am not using any external antennas. However, under link...
There are two parts to this post:
1. I was up in Kimberley last weekend, connected at 2.2mbps.
At home in Durban (I am 100m from the tower), since late May, my speeds have been around 30-60kbps. That is one whack of a difference and leads me to believe that oversubscription means a lack of...
Hi,
I'm looking for the Huawei E372 or Vodafone K4605 modems. Or another equivalent 42Mbps modem that supports both the 900MHz and 2100MHz WCDMA bands.
Anybody knows where I can buy them online/in Pretoria and how much they tend to cost?
Thanks!

I was wondering whether there's any maximum (best practice) number of users that should be connecting to ADSL through a consumer-grade all-in-one (eg. DSL-2750U/Netgear DGN2200M) ADSL modem.
Currently there's a Billion in place in the office, serving 40-50 users and the connection...
I hope somebody here can help me.
I bought a new router and the things keeps disconnect. See report below. My ISP and telkom say the line is stable and the problem has to be with the modem. Also, my other modem runs fine.
It is the D-link DSL2750U
I phoned them but up to now they have not...
Hey all.
I'm trying to make use of the half bridge modem on my D-link modem.
I have a Xbox360 that I would like to use with a different ISP account to the one that is always on on my modem. I would like to use this via wifi.
Anybody know how I set this up?
Hey.
I got a new D-link modem and i need help setting it up.
It just says connecting.
My old modem works fine so the line is perfect its just that the new one wont connect.
Can anybody run me through what the settings have to be on the page with the internet settings?
I have just recently changed from a telkom 384kbs ADSL to 8ta 3G, what a difference in speed. However...
I cannot get my VKOM 3g modem to connect to the 8ta network through the USB port on the Billion 3g/ADSL router. I have successfully connected using a Vodacom SIM card, but not with the 8ta...
I have a CellC 7.2mbps speedstick. I live in Olivedale, Randburg. The service is so slow. I can hardly use it till about 11pm at night. On weekends forget it. The signal is full most of the time on HSPDA never 3G but simply crawls. Upto 2 minutes to load a simple webpage.
Can anyone recomnend...
Hey guys.
I need a new router/modem as the one I currently have has awfull range on the wifi.
Can anybody recommend something that has great range without breaking the bank?
I currently have a Telkom DuoPlus 300WR (I got it with the Telkom 1mb trial in January). I've had disconnection and slow connection issues over the last few days and two weeks ago. The Telkom tech guy just visited me and said the problem was with the modem. Apparently it overheats, I do use it a...
Hi,
Are the 3G USB modems that one gets from vodacom and cell c interchangeable?
Could i put my vodacom sim into a spare cell c modem and connect.
What do i need to do to make this work. What settings would i need to change.
From the WA forum itself.
They claim the ADSL modem is locked for "security reasons". To me it sounds like they don't want this guy to go to another ISP.
If indeed, he paid R1500 for it, then surely it should not come locked in to the WA network? That's unethical to say the least.
Hey guys,
I'm currently running my 8ta Internet 5 on a Huawei E220 along with a DLink DIR-451 router to my PC and Xbox. Basically this is my internet solution at home.
Now, in an attempt to get better speeds, both internet and wifi network, I am contemplating selling off my DIR-451 and...
