Edimax 3G Broadband Router

hm…this is pretty cool! now I am having second thoughts if I should get me a Sun Broadband + this router over getting a Smart Bro connection (which from what I read over the net pretty much sucks).

I heard Sun’s speed is pretty fast and stable when you are still inside the Metro. Does this hold true to anyone? Any average speeds perhaps?

3G only sa ok din sa 3.5G mas ok to http://bit.ly/1alCMz

Pwede rin ba itong gamitin as NAS? Kasi may USB port sa likod and pwede syang print server.

is it possible to plug in a flash drive or usb external drive and share?

@ deo read again. maybe ur being too excited or just being a moron. tsk tsk. Even a 12 year old knows that yugat didn’t review it based on the article above…

This sounds interesting a few questions though:

1. Who handles the warranty ?
2. Anybody tried it with Smart WeRoam already ?
3. If the DSL fails does it automatically connect to 3G ?
4. Can you combine the 3G and DSL bandwidth ?

The problem is that most times when you are using any of the 3G connections they are really slow only really good when you are out of town or on the road. More then one person using the 3G connection would be super slow.

Cool idea if the 3G was really good here.

wow! this is nice, i want one..

Its expensive on Asianic: http://www.asianic.com.ph/product/edimax-3g-6200wg (~4.6KPHP)

I tested this out last monday, the thing doesn’t support Huawei E160 modem, so if you have globe tattoo it won’t work, if you have Sun prepaid or Eazy Connect(plan) it won’t work, the menu is easy to use, but it doesn’t match the screen shot on its manual so don’t bother reading the manual for configuration of the 3g/3.5g, the other features such as print server and wireless is pretty easy to setup, one feature that is unique to this one is the fallback connectivity, if you have 3g connection and dsl connection at the same time and the 3g fail it can fallback automatically to the dsl connection, you can buy this for 4k, i found a shop at bf homes selling this thats where i test my sun Huawei E160 modem and found out only the Huawei E220 is supported, even after the firmware update.

Huawei 160E, Huawei 160G, Huawei 160 Modems are already supported by this model using firmware version 2.07c, the firmware is available from there local Edimax I-Care Support – just message them @ edimax_****@****.*** or call the Hotline @ 412-EDMX (412-3369).

Take it from me. I live in Quezon City, and because of the nature of my work, I need to have connectivity anywhere I go so I bought a globe visibility, a smart bro wireless , and a sun broadband wireless modem. i’d say sun broadband is amazingly fast! even if they claim to have speed of upto 2mbps, I actually get up to 2.7mbps! smart is fairly good, 1mbps on the average, but choosy when it comes to 3G signal (good in Quezon City, but poor in Makati). Globe is the worst actually. Poor signal everywhere! It’s only good you’re in an open space like a Mall or outside the house so when I’m inside my room, I had to use a 3-meter long USB cable so that I could hang the globe visibility modem outside the window in order to get a good signal. Inside a closed room, Globe Visibility/Tatoo really really sucks! So, I suggest, you guys avail Sun Broadband Wireless if you live in Metro Manila, or a Smart Bro if you travel a lot, but don’t EVER buy globe vis/tatoo coz it really really sucks. Take it from someoone who has actually tested all modems for more than 6 months already…

sun prepaid kit – 2Mbps pero bumabato hanggang 3.7.. mabilis din… i suggest mag-sun na lang kayo…kung ang prepaid lang din nman..

mmmm much better if edimax make it a 3in1 offer a modem, router & print server ;)

“bagong gadget hanef sa lufet, budget ba ay sulit?”

I’m really looking for a 3G MOBILE Router. May nakita ako na binabenta sa US pero exclusive sa network provider. Yes, it’s a mobile router, something similar to this one pero mas maliit and battery operated.

Is there any thing available like this in the market na pwedeng ilagay ung Globe/Sun/Smart sim?

Imagine Globe Tatto or SmartBRO Prepaid na battery operated na router. Tipong pag nilagay mo sa bag mo, may mobile router ka na. It’s handy kasi sa iPod Touch and PSP. Kasi kailangan nasa WiFi zone ka para magamit mo yung browser. It’s like converting 3G signal into WiFi.

This is it, they call it MiFi:

Mabilis po ba ang gaming sa mga 3g broadbands?

What a great product from Edimax!!! Netgear have the same product, MBR624GU, but sad to say their site doesn’t include Philippines in their site :(

Please check Edimax’s site for compatible models of USB 3G modems.

You can check it from the router’s product page then click download..here’s the link:
http://www.edimax.com/en/support_detail.php?pd_id=279&pl1_id=1&pl2_id=2

or you can check it directly from this link:

I called up Smart Bro hotline just now and they confirmed the model of their USB modem in circulation and here’s what I got

– E-surfer wm62
– Huawei e226 / e156c (common stock)
– ZTE mf622 / mf627 / mf626 – dark knight limited edition

I was expecting that the rep will tell me about Huawei E160 at E160G as previously tested by Tech Blog but he failed to mention it. Basta refer nalang kayo sa compatible list ng USB modem ng Edimax for information.

Hope this helps a lot ÜÜÜ

@edimax:

i just finished upgrading my firware to 2.09 so it can support the zte mf626/627 used for smartbro and weroam.

got it working fine, and i noticed that you can actually configure which connection the router will treat as PRIMARY. you can set it to be the 3G connection OR your wired broadband. cool noh?

Find interesting to hear from YOU experts. thanks a lot!!! Anyway dito ako sa china and have a Huawei EC1261. Want to know if this thing will work sa pinas if lagyan ng smart bro or sun sim cards? at gagana kaya sa Edimax 3G Bband router? Thanks…

@ottie

pwede na ba sa bagong usb modem ng sun itong edimax? e1550 ata yung new modem gamit ng sun.

Good Day Sirs!

You can find that 3g router at PC Hub at gilmore for only 2,900, its quite nice but the firmware isn’t that good, it crashes when you create too much filtering, and huawei 1550 could’t dial don’t know why, I suggest get a better router, like linksys, dlink, etc… but if your really need a router to share your 3g connection Edimax 3g6200wg would be fair enough

I just availed a Sun Postpaid Plan and got a HUAWEI E1550. Do you think it’s compatible with this router? I also have 2 Globe USB dongles, HUAWEI E160 & E160G.

The compatibility list is only for firmware v2.08, it is not yet updated with v2.09.

Please guys help me. Thanks!

Same here but my modem Huawei is E1550, i can’t connect to my router to share it to my 8 pc,, I reall need help how to set this up.. TY

I suggest you just bring your 3g modem when buying it. Then try it out sa store bago bilhin…just to be sure… I just hope papayag ang store buksan ang product at i-test hehehe some stores dont allow it.

PLDT WeRoam has a username and password: usually the username is pldt@weroam password is pldt, apn is weroam, at dial script is *99#

Tried the G-6200N using the smart bro USB modem (color white) and it works flawlessly. It’s Plug and Play, you just set up the WiFi for security ready to go ka na.

meron po akong ipod touch, pero wala po akong internet access s bahay po nmin. gusto ko po sna n internet access s ipod ko khit saan ako pumunta(like in lrt)..ung bang ilalagay ko n lng cya s bag ko tpos pwede ko ng gamitin ung ipod touch ko sa loob ng lrt o kahit saan!?..ang gagamitin po eh ung mga usb type broadband(prepaid)..pwede po ba ung gnitong setup!?..pra anytime pwede po akong mgbrowse s internet..kung posible po b ung ganitong setup, ano po b ang dapat kong bilhin?..

hi jbitpc! Where can I download the firmware to support the E1552? What is the firware version #?

Rene anong model po ang ginamit ninyong sun broadband usb modem?

@ all

the 3G-6200n or 3G6204Wlg/wg is need to fill up you APN when your using 3G broadband modem.

this is how to find your APN:

1: open the Portal or Dial up software.
2: click tools–>Settings–>Profile management.
3: and the APN will apear.
4: please write down your APN apears on your portal, because you need it in you 3G router configuration procedures.

every Usb 3Gbraodband modem, have a different APN name.

Thankyou ^_^

Is there any 3.75G broadband router that serves also as a signal booster? Thanks…
