Has any1 experienced problems using this router with the black 21mpbs modem?

My connection seems to go dead (wont download) but says im connected to the internet?

If i restart the router it works fine for awhile again then same thing all over?

Is it a setting i have wrong? or faulty router or what?

I get the same thing thing sometimes (same router) But mainly during the day. At about 4 in the morning it never happens. I think it's a Cell C thing rather than a router thing.
 
@Gres i have updated it with latest software.. @Ginggs will check now

Ok now i cant get the connection to drop at all.... browing like mad and wont drop lol... should do it soon tho

can anyone share their experiences with the Airlive Air3G router? I opted for this over the Billion 3300NX router due to the extended range coverage....

When this happens again, check whether you can still access www.cellc.co.za.

Cant connect to Cell C either, on the router it just shows it has 51% signal and says connecting, seems its disconnecting completely? Must be a cell c thing then with signal quality? or what u think?

So you're not actually connected then? Previously you said you were still connected.

Ye this time is said connecting, other times it says its still connected to internet and still nothing, when either happens i cant access cell C or normal webpages..
 
Maybe try the modem plugged directly into your computer for a few hours and see if it stays connected and (working)... That way you can see if it's really Cell C or your router...
 
UPDATE: D-Link DIR-451 (3G Router)

Just to report that the Dlink DIR451 does support the Huwaei E1820 from Cell C. Working well.

Click Setup (manual) and select:

Interface type: WWAN
Type: PPP

Country: None
ISP: None
Modem: with the two selections above, the entire range of supported devices appears. Select the E1820.

In settings, I have:

Dial: *99#
Auto PAP+CHAP
APN: internet
Connect type: Always On

SAVE these settings. On reboot - click on the STATUS tab and if necessary click CONNECT - although the router should have connected automatically to Cell C (if you selected Always On).

I also have the Dovado UMR (from Neotel time) but giving the DIR451 a shake as I had some reception issues using the Dovado. Need to state that this may have been on the client side (Apple Ipad & Iphone 4) rather than the server side.

Enjoy.

ps If anyone is interested in acquiring an Option 3G data card (unlocked) please PM me! Actually, while I'm at it, I've also got an Iburst desktop modem and a Dupont/Neotel phone for sale! :erm:
 
I've got the 24 gig package with the white modem.

I bought the Intellinet Portable 150n 3g router.

I struggled a bit in the beginning until I did the firmware update to 1.04.
All the settings I'd been playing with where still messed, so I restored it to default and after the reboot it connected via the modem instantly without me having to change any settings.
There seems to be no facility to send sms's on the router, but I didn't expect there to be.
The wifi range is not huge from what I can tell on my phone, but that's understandable considering its a battery powered device without an aerial.
The times I plan to use this its going to be right next to me on the table anyway..

Pictures of the MBRN3000 shows the main unit with a smaller unit connected. Can someone tell me why its like that?

The 3G USB modem plugs into the smaller unit which is attached with a cable to the main unit. This is (apparently) so you can move the modem around a little for best reception...
 
@Gringgs, i plugged the modem straight into the back of the PC with the same result only this time i could access the Cell C website and it was very quick browsing that site, but wouldn't load any other sites?

What does that mean?
