Mifi signal strengh and setup?? help?

[Kylemcs]

So after long week of waiting my E5331 and sim finally arrived.

I have 2 questions:

1. How do I find a signal sweet spot in my flat (I've walked around the place and get nothing but red bars but the device is slow to react (I'm on OSX and wondering if there is a program like MDMA for mac?)

2. How can I use my telkom mobile sim in it. I have tried making another profile in the web interface (apn set as 'internet for Telkom Mobile) but it does not connect to the telkom network?

Thanks!

I've resolved question no. 2 ... it appeared to be the microsim adapter i had mcguyvered (badly).

back on the MTN sim, I've done several speedtests in the flat (Petunia Street, Bryanston)and I'm getting nothing but 2G snails - 0.08 Mbs down and 0.07 up. pings over 1200... urg
