Major problems connecting this last 2 weeks or so Have the E270 plugged into an Edimax 3G-6200n (have done for a year or so) with no major problems. Have noticed this last couple of weeks that that dongle has been disconnecting constantly and over the last few days not connecting at all. Have tried the dongle in a newer (2 months old) model router but still the same Yet when I plug dongle direct into laptop connection stays fairly stable (still disconnects but not as frequent) - although speeds are to put it politely..... rubbish



o2 reckon they're looking into it.... don't hold out much hope though.....

Speeds have been bloody dismal since i changed the router for the exact same one and have the exact same setup



It's actually driving me nuts now, it's taking forever to connect to webpages now it's ridiculously different!

Contention? Signal Loss? Any ideas at what is causing it?

-=al=-

absolutely no idea, i get 1.5Mb if im lucky now and just in general slower

Everything is the exact same, maybe the antenna in the router itself is not performing correctly i really don't know till i try an external antenna, which i posted about yesterday!

It could be that there are more users on the same cell as yourself dude? That can eat into a persons speed and eventually latency

-=al=-

Could very well be but the service used to be 4-5mb download 2 or so upload with pings less than 50ms

Even the dongle seems to be performing better indoors though, I think I'll have to get this external antenna sorted to see what the story is

I get 5 bars of EDGE but only 1-2 of WCDMA or HS(U)PA which didn't happen at all the last time

Reaaaaaally annoying!

HSUPA is upload packet data protocol which is used within HSPA which is no good on its own - HSPA is what you should be seeing (combo of HSDPA and HSUPA) - The old HSDPA (pre HSPA days) standard used WCDMA for upload while using HSDPA for download.

Either-way - WCDMA is useless and it seems your router is getting stuck on HSUPA on occasion which is no good when ye need down as well as up in terms of data transfer.

Did ye ring meteor and ask them about the site?

-=al=-

Yeah it changes between HSPA/HSDPA and WCDMA all the time but it's just not receiving signal as well as the last router I think

I went up on the roof with the lappy where it is beside the chimney and done loads of speedtests with 2 dongles and it was more normal speeds (3-4 down/2 up 50ms ping) with the same sim and network... the dongles even had 3/4 bars each of 3g So all I can take from that really is it doesn't seem to be anything to do with the signal meteor is sending out from its magical masts

The old router on the roof would get 5 bars constantly, yet this one barely gets 2 in the same location... Think it's time to try an external antenna and see if it's any use! Even indoors the signal is the same

Antenna's with a SMA-Male connector anyone?

Finally you have been hit with the Meteor 3G problem expect it to continue and never be fixed i had this exact issue in my own area and surrounding areas Meteor's network is sinking bad i have been talking to alot on Meteor and they are still having the same problems that i had when i signed up with the a few months back.

before with Meteor i would get 7-8Mb/s and nearly 4Mb/s on upload whatever has happened i then got a max of around 2Mb/s even during the night and the service would stop working full stop in the evening cannot load page etc conn timed out ....

I did find a small work around for PC's but i couldn't get it to work with the sim in my phone ...i noticed the problem was Meteor's DNS servers if i changed them to google or open dns it worked at full speed and i could actually get pages to load.

To me something is messed up in their own DNS server and has been on going for months i suggested this solution to other Meteor users and it worked for them.

If you already use alternate DNS already then something else must be the problem.

Has been great lately in the evening these speeds are typical for this past week or so before i would be down to below 1Mb/s at peak times.

Off peak 7mb/s to around 9Mb/s the norm for me i tested it closer to our local cell at night a got over 13Mb/s which for a mobile network is quite decent my old DSL wouldn't have a look in with this connection.
