Did you have any issues using your new dongle with the DrayTek 2820?

My Huawei E156G just will not connect with the 2820 - although it is fine plugged into the laptop.

No issues at all. I just plugged it in & it was seen no probs. Contact Draytek they might be able to help ?

OK Thanks.

I might go for a replacement.

On a 2820Vn some 3g dongles were not recognised until after upgrading the firmware to 3.3.4, build date 15/6/2010, so it may be that your dongle needs a newer version .

The thing is, high speeds are all well and good but at 8mbps you have 4.2 hours usage a month if you have 15GB a month, making the thing useless and the speed pointless.

I mean, it may as well be 1 gbit internet with 15GB a month usage, it would be equally useless.

Thanks.

Will check that out.

Not everybody eats as much as they can get.

Lol.

Usage is not the only factor. Yes 15GB is not much these days but for most people this is plenty. Speed is important too, there is no point in 15GB usage if it takes too long to download that you will never be able to use 15GB in a month.

I guess your are one of the people maxing out your connection 24/7 downloading pointless [censored] from usenet or/and bittorrent!

i have the zte dongle from three so i decided id go and buy it today. Cost £69.99 and its going straight back because its actually 40% slower than my original dongle so i think il keep what iv got thanks.
