hey guys going to buy umg1831 and i was told about the heat issues. should i consider buying or the issue should be looked into. need ur views guys i am desperate to use a high capacity modem.
I am using
Huawei K4505 ( 28.8Mbps ) card. I have downloaded with download manager, at a consistent speed of 3.5Mbps, for a duration of 2 Hours. The card's temperature started from 42*C and reached 63*C at 47th minute.
After 47 minutes, the heat never increased above 63*C. No disconnection also noticed due to heat, till the 2 Hours testing.
The card’s ( approximate ) maximum permissible temp. is 76*C.
Getting different levels of heat, between different capacity cards, is not an issue. It should be tolerable and within the permitted level. Naturally high capacity cards will tend to consume more power and generate more heat.
It should not hang or disconnect due to heat !
Another, ever repeated, suggestion is, high capacity cards will always, behave / handle well with lower loads of data transfers.
