How to improve the reception of a mobile modem

[petemagnusson]

What software is it that you use for this?

What is the name and where can i find it?

[films10min]

there is no way one can boost the signal of mobile frequency .The signals which are low in the house, must be powerful near the window or outside the house .Keeping the wi fi modem near window or little out the window can help a lot (E585).For normal dongle use usb lead or cable and do manual network selection so that latches on to the nearest mask in the area

[teemuruskeepaa]

@films10min It's too difficult to choose the nearest mast. On boosting the signal, read our conversion here earlier

[cameik]

I was using the pot idea to boost my signal, though even that had trouble at times, and I've just made the observation that my phone went from a weak 3 bars in the bottom of the pot, to about 4 bars if I held it level with the top. (2 bars or less indicated without the pot, no matter how you orient the phone. So, I got an empty margarine tub and placed the phone on top of that inside the pot, voila! one more bar signal! Not sure why this works, but hey, why question success?!

LOL it's Teemu, pre-terrorist witchhunt charges in Lapland. You know, it's easy to think every movement, every word, gesture and action is a threat, when you assume that people want to harm you. It just takes to invent an appropriate explanation of a gesture that fits the underlining and false presumption about someone's terrorist motives. Nobody will know the difference.

amazing thanks.

Good work teemuruskeepaa, confirm works 100%. Using huawei e180 signal went from 7% to 47% (downfloor basement). Theoretical max download speed over 3G is 7.5MB/sec. I get 4.5MB/sec using the saucepan.

1 Decent 3g connection. Done!

[teemuruskeepaa]

@0wen101 That's sick! How do you calculate the signal percentage? On Mobile Partner there is just the speed. How many centimeters high is your sauce pan?

[0wen101]

@teemuruskeepaa @teemuruskeepaa There's signal meter on the the internet provider software. With modem in the router (Billion Bipac 6200nxl) I get 4 bars. 1 bar with no pan. Using standard metal saucepan of about 8cm high, say 30cm wide. If had a wider pan about same height would say would work even better. Actually bought a so called proper 3G clip on aeriel. 5 minutes later the 3G modem was back into the pan ;) The pan looks shit though beisde your computer you have to admit ..

[teemuruskeepaa]

@0wen101 That's sick! I think a too high pan will block the signal. I don't know if it should be wider than mine, which is half a foot 14 cm. The pan should also e shiny steel. I once tried aluminium kettle of the same size which didn't work.. Gongratulations my friend!

tanx!! i really needed dis! now its time to go see if it works! haha!

[bandmaster17]

I don't have the software that u show in the video.Then how do i identify whether my mobile reception has improved or not.Also tell that if i run internet using my mob. as a USB modem, will my download speed increase a bit using your method.

Ps Pls Pls reply soon

Not only i but many of my freinds are waiting for ur answer.

[teemuruskeepaa]

@bandmaster17 The saucepan removes weak reception as to establish your regular speed. It does increase the speed, since weak reception can slow it down, but only so far.

[bandmaster17]

@teemuruskeepaa Thank you soooooooooo much-:)

[vizard00]

works 100% , i confirm , its just too nasty :) ans strange as a pc hardware for guests

[teemuruskeepaa]

@vizard00 You really went to a supermarket and got a shiny small pan for your modem?

[vizard00]

@teemuruskeepaa no toke my mom one , but never mind i have a fast cabel now , we are in 2010 after all

[Na1zzur]

Can't tell if it this method works yet ..I guess I'll have to buy shinier pot :)

[gurth4ng]

this was really cool, gonna try it :)

what is that software you are using by the way?

[ReDFoX2200]

@gurth4ng this is Mobile Partner is comes with huawei modems

[shinobazu080]

mmmmm...... wena la idea,,,, aver si funciona

[mp3play3r]

I'm from Mexico, and, well, the internet sucks here, thanks for the tip.

[LevinaEnglish]

Omg I'm SO gonna try this when I'm home again - if this is gonna work for me you totally made my day, thanks for putting this up!!

[Bohemenian]

why disable ratings? would have just rated it a five, now i have to go about saying that this is extremely useful and all ^^

[aavram]

lol so beside my 17" Vaio i have to carry now a 9" pot to have good reception?

[GandalfWizard]

LOL

[xrebeldiax]

bizarrices da ciência !

[MrJustice01]

What software is that?

[teemuruskeepaa]

@MrJustice01 The software is from Huawei and comes with their modem. It is called Mobile Partner. I like the big graph.

[andresdelpinar]

chhrenial!

[teemuruskeepaa]

Was ist chrenial?

[rionsic]

@teemuruskeepaa

genial(ingenious)

[teemuruskeepaa]

@rionsic Danke, und tänken Sie das ist rictich Deutche?

[rionsic]

Nope ^^ im dutch so no need to speak to me in german :P I suppose he must have ment genial...

[lardrat]

The ADHD editing style made me feel a little ill.

[teemuruskeepaa]

So what?

[cbuchner1]

You might want to try a Wok. You know, a more parabolic shape.

And direct it approximately to where your 3G base station is situated.

[teemuruskeepaa]

With a parabolic disc, the modem has to be elevated in the center. It's not so simple.

[jambi1983]

Why only 300KB/s? That seems pretty slow to me.

[teemuruskeepaa]

It costs 9.95 in Finland

[pejeno]

@jambi1983

300 KB/s is slow for you? I think you'd laugh at the speeds we have here in México (I have 200 KB/s and it's a wired DSL connection).

@teemuruskeepaa

BTW, thanks for the tip to improve the signal (and the speed). Quite neat.

[teemuruskeepaa]

La velocidad fue de 384 kbps = kilobits por segundo. Que descarga a 45 KB / sec = kilobits por segundo. ¿Puede alguien más sabio explicar esas dos unidades por favor? En Finlandia, puedo comprar un conexión más rapida de 2048 kbps. El calentador de agua no lo hace más rápido, sólo lo detiene de desaceleración. Gracias por sus comentarios!

[pejeno]

En 0:27 se ve que ese medidor de velocidad mide las descargas y subidas en KB/s (bytes), no en Kb/s (bits).

La diferencia radica en que 1 Byte (B) está compuesto de 8 bits (b). Por lo tanto 1024 Kb/s serian iguales a 128 KB/s. Solo se divide la velocidad de Kb/s entre 8 para obtener la velocidad en KB/s

Tu español es algo extraño.

[teemuruskeepaa]

@pejeno Yo entiendo, hubo una pequeña tontería diferentes entre Kb / s, y KB / s. jajaja

[teemuruskeepaa]

@pejeno Pero es interesante escuchar de la velocidad de Internet en México. Aquí el módem más rápido Móvil viene con 2048 kbps y una conexión en casa con 12000. La red 3D está disponible aquí sólo a los más grandes carreteras y en los centros de los ciudados

khyyl

[Wuug]

joo..sain nettipeölitkin toimiin tolla katttilakonstilla..xbox 360 live..joka peli pyörii lagitta netissä :P

[teemuruskeepaa]

No shit?

[Wuug]

does this REALLY increase the signal and speed? amazing.. :P

[teemuruskeepaa]

No, it stops slowing down.

[truskeep]

Great maan!

[teemuruskeepaa]

Mikä tässä on suurta?

[e3ovuziotica]

Thanks ;)
