Recent Update on RSSI of Sierra 598U: \ I really wonder what RSSI i will get near tower.

I think its available on Ebay USA and amazon. Even if you buy a Sierra 595U either you need a RUIM based EVDO device (from ur friends etc) or ESN based device(which u have to buy from BSNL) to check for settings, that's my thought, let other ppl comment on it. Off topic. Personal Thoughts : My...

Well I think I abused BSNL much with 2g-3g trick. I bought 2 dongles & 2 antennas for that and used to get 300-350+kBps & 200+kBps speed(other low due to interference). I had bought 2 TB HDD(I already had 1 TB which got filled). I have downloaded 40 GB in one day (and out of that 36 GB from...

Wow man, that's awesome speed u r getting. Very few ppl can get that speed with BSNL EVDO.

And that RSSI was in daytime. I'm yet to check my RSSI in night. I hope to get -42 in night. My RSSI is now always between -44 to -47. I get a good speed What's ur current internet speed in IDM etc? - - - Updated - - - The only way to check EVDO signal strength is to borrow evdo from ur...

It's still without external antenna. I have not found a proper antenna connector yet in the local market.

Latest Update on RSSI :

But I will give it a try and I tell u why. My RSSI with old ZTE device was -60 with -0.20 Ec/lo and still I didnt get good speeds. But after putting antenna RSSI decreases to -62 or -64 and Ec/lo between -0.30 or -0.50, yet download speed increases much. I live in ground floor so I dont have...

Still the same thing happening, I cant connect to BSNL EVDO. I find some differences between ZTE and New settings u just gave me. ZTE AC8700 Sierra 598U(updated according to kuduku) NAM HomePage EVRC...

Well I'm getting EVDO signal for 5-10 secs once I plug-in the device and after that it start searching for EVDO signal forever. Neither I can connect to EVDO service in any case. I dont know what m i doing wrong. The steps I did 1.) ............... 2.) Changed Everything on NAM Tab of Sierra as...

Tomorrow I will be go BSNL office to apply for the ESN change. :(

It's showing unlocked. http://i49.tinypic.com/35d7rcj.jpg Phew!!! i was in tension. Thank you kuduku. Waiting for ur reply. What are the things missing to use 598U with the same settings as ZTE so that I can use either Sierra or ZTE if one gets faulty?

Well its IPASS branded Sierra 598U. @kuduku u can see in the pic, the item shown is factory unlocked device, same has been accepted by the seller too.

A good new and a bad news :( I got the device today but the seller has wrongly shipped the Ipass Sierra 598 instead of unlocked/original Sierra 598. I have contacted the seller, just waiting for his reply. Please tell me guys is it possible to unlock it? PS - All ruined due to the seller's...

And use IDM to maximize the use of the bandwidth available to you. Increase connection nos. in IDM to at least 8 or 16 depending upon the signal quality.

I think @kuduku can do all the process via Teamviewer if I needed to do any flashing etc

I talked to EVDO officials today about my device. They suggested me to write a letter to SDE for an ESN change mentioning the ESN nos. of both old and new devices. They also told me that it wont cost anything for changing ESN from old to new device and it will take one day to do the process...

@Dushie, Thank you very much for the steps.

@ dushie, Can u plz tell me what steps & tools u took in unlocking 595U and registering it with BSNL EVDO network. I think same tools & steps can be used with 598 because it is an unlocked device.

I think that same tools can be used to fix ESN of 598. If not BSNL officials will register the new ESN. But first, guys like kuduku, Cisco, dushie etc are available to sort it out, If unable to do so BSNL is there :P
