Well, that is some ingenious design you got there..About PRL, i am using All India Roaming prl file which i believe i got from this forum somewhere. And i followed the procedure on this blog http://bsnlevdoprithvi.blogspot.in/2014/01/configure-bsnl-evdo-on-sierra-598u.html. I see in the first...

Well, it worked for me, that's exactly what i did, and placed my modem outside with 10m usb extension cable.I have heard that an active usb extension cable or usb over ethernet adapter would be a much better choice when the distance is this much long, still its working fine so far. Now i get...

I am not sure what to say, my ac2766 is performing better compared to 598. While 598 struggles to keep 1mbps, ac2766 easily manages to go up to 1.6mbps, to say it in one go its performance is same as my old micromax 300c. I was shocked when i was getting 1.6mbps for the first time with ac2766 on...

Hello I just received my sprint 598u today, and saw its not unlocking with spc 000000, so i am assuming that its locked, does anyone know how to unlock it?Somehow managed to pulled it off, speed is quite less compared to ac2766, i guess i will have to consider purchasing an antenna as well. 78...

I think you should stop using prithvi modem asap, that modem is only for locations where tower is just in the neighborhood. Speed depends on no. of active users and distance of tower from evdo being used. Its a miracle that you are getting that much speed with this modem, that could only mean...

Hope so man, Hope so!!!

So how do i buy it now? seller doesn't ship here. I guess i have no choice but to use a package forward service. How is PPOBOX? Only usb modem will weight about 24 grams but with box and all it might be around 0.5 to 1 kg, 1200 Rs for modem + 1700 Rs shipment estimate... Holy shit!!. shipment...

Yeah true but new one will cost more than 4k without shipping which costs another 1k, it would be wayyyyy too expensive, i am just looking at these ones right now, thinking whether i should go for it or not. Let me know if you find a good deal.Man , this one just listed...

@cisco_tech alright i am ready to shop now. I have decide to go with 598u, looked through out the Internet for a nice deal, and yet got confused again. Issue is there are so many types of sierra 598u, like by sprint, verizon wireless, Ipass, Telus, and there is one more which has no brand name...

@cisco_tech Are you using any external antennas with ur 595u?

Thanks for the heads up!!

Not sure about 310c but me using 300c and it works quite well. 310c is an improved version of 300c and its successor.

This seems like a decent deal http://www.ebay.in/itm/171526753333?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

As you said i tried with prithvi and mmx 300c, they are being detected in the softwares but not able to retrieve information from modem. So i guess i will have to get zte 2766.

Which asus router you are referring to? My friend has Asus RT N13U B1 with stock firmware on it. I saw DD-WRT modem compatibility list and it was a huge list. Anyway which sierra do u suggest? 595 or 598u, 595 has battery, if it died what then? I saw a deal for 595u at 900 Rs from somewhere...

Thanks man for such info...

Well i am not quite sure about the distance, i think its about 2-3 km. Speed is varying, as i said i usually get 300kbps to 1 mbps with my mmx 300c. I have to move modem on occasional basis to get constant speed. I usually get 3 bars in my connection manager.

Yeah, so far i have found that only Cradlepoint MBR 1000 supports sierra 595u and 598u. These modems are not supposed to be used in India that's why no regular router supports this. Also custom firmware like DD-WRT supports it as well. I heard i also need a zte modem to read the info from my...
