What does seem to help the cr@ppy little usb dongle type modems (ie - not the E220) is using the provided usb cable rather than plug-in directly into the machine. I suspect that they act as some sort of antennae. Definitely improves signal strengh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely improves signal strengh. the best is if you get the usb cable with the dual plug.... that draws power from 2 usb ports on your machine, and so boosts the power of the dongle.

mtbN00b Posted August 20, 2009 Share also got one of these crap things from Vodacom... have to move around in my house with my laptop until it decide it is getting signal.. worst is sometimes I do not get signal at a spot where i had signal like an hour ago or while I am busy working the thing just disconnects... Wimax is pretty cool and stable ... currently the best "wireless" system available. I used to do online gaming with my Wimax after a lot of people said I am going to waist my money with wireless and online gaming becuase it is not stable enough... Pity telkom's client service was to up to standard else I would have had my wimax still today .... (NO SERVICE...NO PAY) .... but yeah according to me wimax is better than these "kokaai" usb modems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
