Yo, sounds like you've done a lot of research. Just remember that this kind of modification could void your manufacturer warranty.

Just saying :)

Yo LOL. That is standard design, open up any MiFi and you will see. Got the photos of internet a while ago just as we got our devices but cannot find the sites now. This one came from the MyBB forum. I think Kimbo posted it. LoL. Just saying. It's no mod!

That's pretty awesome! I'l like a yaggi antenna surgically implanted so I get LTE wherever I go. Did the MTN guy indicate if this is possible?

Never mind, I'm emailing the CEO of MTN NOW!!!! ;)

I just want the damn thing to work the way it should! but it seems "emty N" is screwing up again!

Ah that's frustrating, just out of range :(
It may be worth looking at an antenna if you have a MiFi device.

more information? I have heard putting my MiFi device in a bowl wrapped with foil :erm:

Yep, out of home. I am lovin' it.

At least it's running nicely :)
If you haven't already, try and find a sweet spot in your house - maybe it'll pick up just enough 3G signal.

I am tired of walking around my house like a mad man :(

There just isn't a "sweet spot". Need to stand on the road to get signal lol
