Hi, I need some help please.

Here is my setup :
CellC speedstick, plugged into Trendnet 665 br3g router, with the high gain antenna from Poynting Direct connected to the speedstick. Since I got the Setup I never really had issues, got it all same time and think I was lucky. For the last 3 weeks or so I have been struggling to get HSPA+. Called the call center etc. no help.

Question: The antenna, it's mounted outside and I have line of sight to 3 towers and know of one also close by. I have tried to point it to all and have seen no change on signal. Is there a specific setup procedure to follow to get the gains that everyone is raving about ? It's like I have NO antenna as it makes no difference.

Also, did I go wrong else where on the setup?

I don't use the dongle straight on a laptop/pc. It only runs on the wireless and I use it to play online every now and then.

Will appreciate any and all help.
Hope I have given enough detail, but shout if there are questions.

Many thanks.

Is it a black speedstick? Give us model number.
 
Sorry, it's a ZTE MF 668. The black one yes.

I stay in Chartwell North Estates, Johannesburg, with full view of the N14 between PTA and Krugersdorp. Hope this helps.

Not sure on this one, but it might be similar to Huawei modems E1820, Vodafone K4505 with external antenna connector issue. Check this thread:

If it is a similar case, modem will not report signal strenght from the external antenna (unless inductive coupler is used), only from the internal one.
