Mifi device questions

[kimbo]

Ariman when will be able to see our mobile data in your android app?

Lucky buggers still patience to wait for my device to be delivered even though it will be next month. Great birthday gift

Clientzone - dashboard says Afrihost-Mobile-e02c(SSID) , might change once I get the device.


Will play with the device once I receive it and see if I can play with it and see what security is optimal.


To those who received their MiFi devices from Afrihost can you see if on the clientzone(dashboard) if it shows how many devices are connected, names, mac address etc.

By the by, is everybody's SSID the same?

Nein. SSID will be Afrihost-Mobile-ABCD. ABCD representing the last 4 characters of the device MAC address.

I could force mine to 3G but now it is blanked out stuck on 3G cant go back to 2G, will have to reset if i want that option again (I think)

Weird i reset my device, now it is on auto blanket out. I can not choose 2G or 3G

You have to disconnect the connection for the option to select 2G or 3 G to be available.

You can connect via the wifi or when it i plugged into the usb it also connect to the internet. I want to switch that of

Disable the Virtual NIC setup for the 196.168 IP

From those who have their devices, does the mifi have a port to connect an external antenna?

 

[NeonNinja]

5 devices per question. Anyone who wants one.

Thank you for that.

Can now confirm --- forcing device to 3G really improves speeds... YAY

 

[kayvee]

Well it depends, if I force mine to 3G here I end up with No Coverage.

Internal only.

Can anyone tell me if anything on here is good or bad?
This now the mdma program.

Internal only.

Mine shows, No coverage, connected and I can achieve at times better speed than my 4M Mweb premium ADSL uncapped account

I must make sure of that ... had two of them going through my hands and saw a glistering gold port on the back eying me ...

Had a good look at mine, cant see any external connectors...

Have a look at that hole .. it looks like the same connection a laptop wifi antenna connects to

Bingo, that is the one! Looks like this:

Please note that huawei doesn't always activate the alternate antenna on their devices. So you will not necessarily get any increase in signal even if you manage to connect to it. Looks like a ufl , but you can check

You can get the right connector for that at scoop, poynting and maybe uniterm/dbg

The 5332 is the one with external antennae not the 5331 like we got but the 5331 have that connection which could be used.
