Guess I found my desired aircard which will serve me for the future. Other suggestions still welcome

Model: ZTE MF821/MF821D Type: LTE USB Modem(Internet Key) Mobile Networks: LTE FDD/UMTS/EDGE/GSM 4G Bands: LTE 1800/2100/2600 MHz 3G Bands: UMTS 850/900/2100 MHz 2G Bands: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

We've been over this before. Get a MiFi as indicated earlier, not a USB modem.

Why would i need a MIFI if my house has wired Ethernet in every room?

Versatility. Does your wired Ethernet at home cover you for Laptop, Smartphone and Tablet usage inside and outside the home? Can it supply Internet to up to ten different devices and also via USB?

1. I don't have a laptop, but if I would have it can connect to my wireless 3G router, or to the Ethernet since laptops have a LAN port.

2. My smartphone and tablet have their own simcards with data plan, so no need to connect to a MIFI.

3. I have a 26 port LAN hub, of which all the ports are occupied, and which all connect to the 3G router.Last time I checked 26 was higher than 10

4. Why should I feel the need to connect via USB since all my devices are able to connect via Ethernet or WIFI?

So why would I need a battery powered MIFI device, that doesn't has a LAN port, and which goes for 70 GBP in the UK instead of 1000 Baht as you want to claim if I can buy a suitable aircard for half that price?

Feel free to contribute to this thread, but please read the OP, and stop pushing your own agenda as in all the threads you are involved.

Thailand UMTS frequency

I now went to look for a new aircard on Ebay, and there is virtually no aircard that supports UMTS on 850Mhz, they are all 900/2100 M

Does it say somewhere that I need help in deciding on an aircard or MIFI device?

Does a MIFI device use different frequencies or connect to the signal in another way as an aircard?

Can you point me to a supplier, even in the UK, who sells the Huawei E5573 for 20 Pounds or 1000 Baht as Jiu-Jitsu claims?

Why should I connect through WIFI if I have a Ethernet installed throughout my house, and would need to upgrade all my PC's to be WIFI enabled?

In short, can you give me a single reason why I would be better off following Jiu-Jitsu's advice?

Why are you using an aircard if you have Ethernet installed. Don't you have cable internet?

Oh and by the way your original OP didn't mention any Ethernet, but you know that because you wrote it!

I know a few places to get Aircards both on 3g and 4g but honestly your attitude to people trying to help you puts me off.

Just use Google search I'm sure it may help you, as long as you input the correct search parameters.

Let me help you out of your misery, because it is clear that you are just looking for an argument.

I indeed didn't mention that I had Ethernet in the OP and I also didn't mention the color of my kitchen cabinets nor the brand of my microwave oven because, since all that is unnecessary as I clearly wrote in the OP that I was looking for an AIRCARD, but maybe you overlooked that small detail in your endeavor to find an argument.

Someone with just a little consciousness would realize that if I had cable internet I would not need an aircard, and as I'm looking to replace my current aircard, it would be quite obvious that I don't have cable internet.

Now in your following post you try to be even more smart arse by pointing me to the Sierra 320U aircard, but you don't notice that this aircard is useless for me since it does support LTE on 2100 MHZ only which in the first place has a weak signal at my location, as I made clear in the OP already, and that most likely LTE will be deployed on the 1800 Mhz band.

Here it is again for you.

The 2100Mhz signal is rather poor at my location

So probably, in your eagerness to have an argument, you also overlooked my post yesterday that I seem to have located an AIRCARD that seems to serve my needs for the future.

Model: ZTE MF821/MF821D Type: LTE USB Modem(Internet Key) Mobile Networks: LTE FDD/UMTS/EDGE/GSM 4G Bands: LTE 1800/2100/2600 MHz 3G Bands: UMTS 850/900/2100 MHz 2G Bands: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

So my question since yesterday was actually if there is a better option than the ZTE MF821. Feel free to add something useful to the thread, but refrain to look for an argument with useless pedantry.

Anthony5 a thank you would have been more appropriate. Your response is exactly why people don't help. Smart arse!

LTE IS ONLY AVAILABLE PRESENTLY ON 2100MHZ. Strangely it may get better. Your original post seemed more about 850mhz on 3G. As you never even mentioned LTE until the very end!

I even showed you a webpage that seemed to suggest that you could actually change the base bands on Sierra modems.

If you have already located an aircard go and buy it!

Post #5, hardly the very end I would say, I'm looking for a 4G card that supports 3G on 850Mhz as well.

Don't you think that anyone with a little common sense would think something like 6 months ahead when purchasing an aircard today?

I have had very good help and information to my questions from a few members, but I count those that repeatedly want to push their MIFI device down my throat even after I made clear that it is no use for me, and the ones who support that poster, not in that category.

You can see that you have suddenly lost any friends you may have had with your ungrateful reaction.

You are definitely being added to my ignore list, lest I forget and think about offering you advice in the future.

But before that occurs, Huawei 4G Mobile Wi-Fi Free with 15GB data £20.00 If you had a friendly contact in the UK, it would not be difficult to obtain one. I'm thinking that you don't have any friends at all. They could sell it to you at double the price and it would still be a bargain to you.

Hopefully no one will waste their time with you after seeing your behaviour here.

I have written in multiple posts that the MiFi can connect in exactly the same way as an Aircard...because it is an Aircard. It also has the capability to share wirelessly. But you don't need to use it's wireless capability, until you need to use it. It comes supplied with a Micro USB to USB cable. Is it finally getting through to you? The WiFi element is simply a bonus. You can pick it up and take it with you for Internet access worldwide...instead of being limited to a unit that needs USB access and Drivers to function. Until then, you can use it in exactly the way that you would use a USB modem.

Did I need to explain this to you? You have an extremely unpleasant character.

Huawei 4G Mobile Wi-Fi Free with 15GB data £20.00 per month

For this you have to provide your bank or credit card details and have to give at least 30 days notice of cancel contract, so how you do that without paying less than 40 Pound?

And you call me a clown?

And feel free to put me on ignore, in fact I request it from you, as I have read your "push down ones throat " replies in other threads on the forum.

BYE.

[casualbiker]

^^^ it would cost you £29.95. It's a 30 day contract not a 12 month contract. Why would you give 30days notice on a 30 day contract. If your worried you would give notice on day one. You can buy 4-3g units here in Thailand. There are a few companies that specialise in it. This link is for others interested in 3-4g Aircards and mifi.

This looks pretty nice. Is it compatible with your router? Have you purchased this yet? If so, where and how much?

And could you let us know how it works for you?

Some USB aircards now also support/provide WiFi, which can be handy. I've been looking at a few of those as well.

Thanks.

Haven't purchased yet, just found it the other day on Aliexpress for 56 USD and free shipping.

I have no idea where to check if it is compatible with my router, since the latest firmware update for the router is 2011, and I doubt this card existed at that time.

[bamnutsak]

I have no idea where to check if it is compatible with my router, since the latest firmware update for the router is 2011, and I doubt this card existed at that time.

Did you plan on using this new USB aircard in your router? (I think that is your primary application, but maybe I am confused.) I'd check on forums, or by Googling the make/model of your router, to see if anyone has tried this particular USB aircard with your router model.

My router takes USB aircards for 3G (WAN) fallback, but my USB aircard does not work with it.

The 3G/2100 operators will be around for ~ 12 more years; their licenses run for a total of 15 years, so if you're just using mobile data services here in Thailand, a 3G/2100 compatible USB aircard, which might work with your existing router, might the easiest/simplest/cheapest solution? LTE might not even be available in your location, and it might actually be a bit slower (download, faster upload).

At this point 4G isn't yet available at my location, though it is available about 1 km from my place, but I hope that when they will use the 1800 Mhz frequency which has a wider range that it will become available.

I get currently the 3G signal on the 850 Mhz frequency with my current aircard, and can receive the 2100 Mhz band as well, but the signal is too weak so it always switches back to 850 Mhz.

Since the ZTE MF821 has external antenna connector, I hope it may improve my reception.

[bamnutsak]

I wouldn't count on LTE/1800 actually being available anytime soon; and even when there is an auction, some entrenched operators might get the bandwidth and they will focus on dense, metropolitan areas first.

An established (been in the market for many years) 3G/850+2100 USB aircard, which is proven to work with your router (assuming this is your primary application), might be a better solution?

If you are using DTAC then be aware that their 850 concession goes away in 2018, so you may be better off switching to TrueMove H as they will have their 3G/850 relationship with CAT for many more years.

It sounds like you live in a rural area? If so, the lower the frequency the broader the coverage, so 850 might serve you better? There have been a few threads on external antennas for USB aircards here over the years.

Finally, have you looked in to wireless PtP solutions like TOT WiNET and AIS AirNET?

Both are not available in my area.I don't live really rural, as i live less than 1 km as the crow flies from major landmarks, but it is a blind corner seemingly.

I previously had a postpaid AIS phone and prepaid Dtac aircard, but had to change both to True. The first one because of very weak reception, the latter because every month ( for over 2 years and changing SIM twice) there would be issues with the automatic renewal of the prepaid 3G package.

Now I have 2 postpaid True move H packages, and as I said I will receive the 2100 Mhz signal, but the 850 Mhz signal will overrule.

My signal with True is better than with Dtac, and what I notice is that I use much less data

I didn't change my usage behavior in fact I have had larger downloads this month due to circumstances, but with Dtac my 6Gb package would never last 30 days, while on True I'm now on my 24th day and have used less than 4Gb.

As another poster said that AIS will use 1800 Mhz for their 4G, I'm sure they will deploy nationwide as soon as they get a license, as I don't see any sense in paying big bucks for a license and make limited use of it.

2100mhz could be more ideal if you can get an external antenna, higher capacity network then 850 as the cells can be much smaller so therefore potentially less users on the channel and more available bandwidth
