Hi Guys,
I was having intermittent issues with my signal quality. I was fluctuating between 3G and Edge. Resetting the device would bring back 3G but it would ultimately go back EDGE, as you can imagine very infuriating.
I logged a call with Afrihost and they gave me a great solution thats been working well, hopefully other people can find this helpful and save themselves some trouble. Basically, you lock the device into 3G mode only. So far I have had over 48 hours of uninterrupted 3G performance and my blood pressure and gone within normal range. Heres the instructions.
Go to http://192.168.1.1/ (while connected to your MiFi), type in the password ("admin") and then click on "Settings" in the top Menu:
Under Dial-up, "Mobile Connection": set "Connection Mode:" to "Manual"
Under Dial-up, "Network settings": set "Preferred mode:" to "3G only"
Under Dial-up, "Mobile Connection": change "Connection Mode:" back to "Auto"
Reverse the above steps if you don't notice any difference.
