Help With Huawei E160 Aircard

[hml367]

Hello.

Is there anyone out there willing to help me with an AIS Super 3G Huawei E160 aircard?

I installed it on a Dell 1318 dual core machine and can get speeds near 1 mb download. I installed it on a Dell 9300 2. ghz and get speeds in excess of 2 mb.

Thanks in advance,

Hi... Thanks for the reply.

I have 2 Dell laptops in my home. One is Windows XP and the other has Windows Vista 32. The XP will run at the advertised speeds. Windows Vista (32) will not run at that speed. In fact, the Vista computer usually shows connecting at the GPRS as indicated by a green light instead of the blue light on the Huawei.

Thanks,

I have been using 3G for like ever - it is a disaster - I am not even sure where in LOS it has been effectively rolled out.

GPRS/green is the default - everywhere in the world, 3G networks appear to prefer this to 3G/Blue

Even when you have the blue status lite on, dont expect much more than optimum GPRS speeds.

I have even been all over Vodafone, they could not fix it - I suspect that their phone networks are all that old that

they dont have the gateways in place to utilize the newer cells, or is the blue LED exactly that?!

Go wifi or a decent DSL wireless router.

I believe wimax will kill it.

Besides - I hate the thieving telcos with a passion!!

Thanks again for the reply.

As I indicated, I DO get close to 3mbps with my XP machine within Thailand. It is the Vista system that will not get good speed.. I have noticed some people on the internet posting problems (not in Thailand) with Vista dropping the connection to 3G with the Huawei usb stick.

I have a feeling the Vista drivers may not be optimum that install from the stick.

Thanks,
