Thanks but it doesn't work

The application opens up and its straight forward but when i select the band it gives me either a thumbs down or .Net Framework Error. Anyone knows how to solve this?

TRY 2300mhz. you do not have to jump to 2600 mhz mate. Common sense and experimenting. I have seen people actually getting higher speeds on low frequency instead of the 2600mhz. Sometimes highest is not the greatest.

I don't think rain supports 2300mhz, as far as I know rain only uses band 3 and 38/41

Rain only got 30MHz in 2600MHz. If they roll it out people with a Huawei B618s-22d will likely start seeing 4G+ on Band 41.

@cavedog

Is the Huawei B525-65d router also capable of this ?

Should RAIN roll out their (30Mhz in 2600Mhz) additional spectrum allocation will I see 4G+ (i.e. LTE Advanced) on a Huawei B525-65d router ?

Thank you

Imagine seeing all those other frequency options on your router and not even trying any of them, not even once. I tried every single one of them multiple times, the only one that connects is the 1800 band and I suspect this is the case for most people who's been getting sub 1mb speed test results? Some people have the luxury of being able to switch bands but many of us are stuck with towers that only has the 1800 band unfortunately.

Yes according to the datasheet it does support 4G+ on that band.

It does support That band it’s just for you to let us no if it works

Yes according to the datasheet it does support 4G+ on that band.

I am also using RAIN with the same router (Huawei B525-65d).
Just to clarify - should I set the router to use band 38 or band 41 to get 4G+ ?

Or can i set the router to either band 38 or band 41 to get 4G+ ?

this is actually true and that’s the reason why they get bad speeds or something but trying the band switching before you complain about bad service .. honestly I get bad service but it’s due to the fact I don’t got a router that supports all this bands so I’m stucked with 1800mhz but because they got the 30mhz on 2600mhz band I do notice some changers

please check which one works for you depending on your tower and which band it supports then let us know so we all can understand or have an idea what works for who please

I would say set it to 41. Rain is actually using B41 but B38 is a subset of 41 so to comply with license and 3gpp standards they use a filter to set it to Band 38. In Band 38 there is only 20MHz x 2 which Rain already owns 1 block. ICASA gave them 30MHz so I'm guessing that extra 10MHz might extend past the B38 range. Setting your router to Band 41 make sure you are covered for the whole band which also includes b38.

Hopefully they will come back with stats and info concerning this information and applying it .. we do love success stories

This will suck for those of us using the B618-22d, I think it only supports B38 and not 41

Yes but hopefully they got the other 20MHz that falls under b38 then it will work well on a B618

Do you have something for a Macbook or can this not be run from some online tool like python ect

 

[MoDada]

Is there any Software out to use on a Vodfone mifi router r218h that will force these frequencies ?

No you can’t force a pocket router like that ... if there is I honestly don’t no about it but I can say you can’t it’s not made for such a thing

In my area, I don't see where the tower is located. I got the cell id etc and the position but when i drive to the place i don't see the tower, how is that possible?

Secondly that towers seems to only support the 1800mhz band. Sucks given the fact they have gotten more spectrum temporarily. Like 3mbps is my average.

I pray south africa completes the digital migration soon so the lower bands more accessible and less congested so more telecom companies can get their hands on it.

I pray also come november, Icasa and Government would be ready to auction the spectrum and we pass this hurdle and we can blame services providers fully instead of splitting the blame as well.
