Vividwireless Home Wireless Broadband LimitedGB Plan
Antenna for Optus Vividwireless Home Wireless Broadband Huawei B315s modem |
Important Notes
Optus Home Wireless Broadband 200GB Plans.
* The Optus 24 month plan is supplied with the Huawei E5186 modem.
* The Vividwireless month-month plan is supplied with the Huawei B315 modem.
The data speeds are limited by the SIM card. The modem itself is not limited thus if used with a standard Mobile Broadband SIM plan, will run at up to full speed as available from the Optus tower that the modem connects to.
Speeds are limited to 12Mbps Upload and 1Mbps Download if the modem is able to connect to the 4G 2300MHz band.
This will show as "Band: 40" on the Network Status page of the modem web portal.
Where B40 is not available, the modem will connect to 4G 700MHz (B28), 1800MHz (B3) or 2600MHz (B7) and DL/UL speeds will be limited to 5/1Mbps. If you know that 2300MHz will be available via an external antenna select a model that is 2300MHz capable.
If only 4G 700MHz is available, select a higher gain 700MHz capable antenna.
Optus Home Wireless Broadband Unlimited Plans.
* The Vividwireless unlimited plan is supplied with the Huawei B315s modem.
The data speeds are limited by the SIM card, not by the modem itself
Speeds are limited to 12Mbps Upload and 1Mbps Download and you must have Optus 4G 2300MHz service available.
Where B40 is not available, the modem will not connect.
For this plan select only an antenna capable of 2300MHz.
Antenna Selection Guide:
If 2300MHz B40 service is NOT available:
a. If your modem provides stable 5/1Mbps DL/UL speed at all times, an external antenna is unlikely to improve this.
b. If you sometimes get very slow data speeds an all-band antenna can often help, especially at peak load times.
c. If the signal is very poor, then it is most likely that only the 4G 700MHz service is available. Select a high-gain antenna that covers 700MHz.
If 2300MHz B40 service is available:
a. If your modem provides a stable 12/1Mbps DL/UL speed at peak times, an antenna will not improve this.
b. If you sometimes get slower data speeds an all-band antenna can often help, especially at peak load times.
c. If the signal is very poor, select a high-gain antenna that covers 2300MHz.
In most cases, given that the data speeds are limited, a MiMo type of antenna is not needed. However, in areas of poor signal, and poor peak data speeds, a MiMo antenna may help to achieve a better connection and better speeds at peak times.
