Micromax MMX 400R MiFi Router Review and INSTALLATION .

Hello this review is for the souls who come up with a query that should one go for Micromax MMX 400R. I purchased it from Naaptol, the delivery took a week. I thought that i would receive a black colored modem, but ended up receiving a white color one. The photo on the webpage showed that the modem was black in color. Now let us get down to the unboxing part. The modem comes along with a battery, a usb cable, a usb charger unit and operation manual. The manual is actually a leaflet that has the bare information on operation. For onces who are adept to using IT products the information is good enough. For the newbies, I suggest that you contact Micromax for the detailed manual. I got mine via email. The detailed manual is a good 22 page information. I tried SIM from three companies, MTNL, Idea and Voda. The modem automatically detects settings. I am currently using Idea, the speed that I get is 3 Mbps. I am satisfied. The antenna is powerful, catches signals in corners. Since I have been using it for quite a while I can help in trouble shoot incase anyone has queries. Now to a final question, why buy this when Iball baton is available. Well you see that I ball baton and a host of such modems convert 3G modems into wifi spots. Currently, 3G modems are expensive and if you are unsatisfied with the service the modem is not returnable. Its a dead investment. I know leaving aside tata photon all the other 3G modems can be reused with another sim. Whether they give access to settings is something I have not yet researched into. The wifi hot spots, or modems like Micromax MMX 400R offered by Idea, Voda or tata cost a bomb. Its minimum Rs. 5000 and up. I guess this is worth it considering that it is half the cost and does the same, converts the sim into a wifi hotspot. The greatest advantage of such a system is that if one is unsatisfied with the internet service, all one has to do is chuck the sim off and buy a different sim. With 3G modems this is difficult as the modems are non returnable. Once again I strongly recommend this product. It is a must have for tablet owners. Sub Rs. 10000 tablets do not have a sim slot, this fills up the surfing connectivity. You can always carry your personal wifi connection and use it on a multiple devices like mobiles, laptops and pc's. Happy surfing. Incase anyone needs the detailed manual, he can message me.
 
Hi arvind,I am newbie to this forum can you send the detailed manual to meHi i am newbie to this forumWhether this router can be connected to pc thro data cable for browsing internet?Whether this router works with android low cost tablets like Micromax fun book, Ubislate7+ for browsing internet?What is the use of memory card? While browsing can I download data or video into the memory card?Is there provision to check data usage (sim balance)?
 
I take your question in the order they appear.
1. The router can be connected to PC using data cable provided. I am right now writing you a reply by connecting the router to PC through data cable.
2. Yes the router can be used with all the tablets, laptops and cellphones. I have used it on Micromax funbook, samsung Galaxy tab, funbook tab, Q 80 cellphone and Sony Vaio laptop.
3. The memory card can be accessed only through the usb cable. It is not necessary for the function of the router. All you can do is store your important files in the router incase you have a memory card in the router. So you router doubles up as a pen drive. Isnt that cool. You can download from the web in the memory card only using usb, note.
4. The overview page gives you information of data uploaded and downloaded in each session. Note it will not make a log, that is once you switch off the details of the session are lost.
Note that I have come to know that there are softwares that will sit in the computer and keep a record of data usage.
On sending the manual, how do I send it to you. Is there any way I can post it on the forum??

Hi arvind thanks a lot for Ur valuable information.I have some more queries.1.Whether this router supports all browsers like internet explorer6.0 or 8.0, fire fox, opera etc?(because product spec shows it supports IE3.0 OR 4.0, SAFARI)2.Product spec shows router works with Windows,Mac etc. hence i am asking is it supports android?3.What is the difference between 3G data card and this?4.Whether this router is successful model and its reviews are good?Post your opinion and excuse me if i asked any silly questions.
 
As I had posted earlier I connect to the modem through micromax funbook and surf. Micromax funbook works on android platform. Secondly I also connect and surf using my laptop, Sony Vaio. The internet explorer on this machine is the latest, no problems. The last question is whatis a 3G data card. Well that too is a modem like micromax. Some like tataphoton work one cdma tech therefore if you are unsatisfied with the service you cannot insert another sim in that. Most in India are based one GSM therefore technically you can replace the sim in the modem. I have never tried this. Second if the configuration page is not available then even if you put a new sim you cannot use it. I have written this entire reply using a tablet that works on android. So far I have no problems using this modem. On the reviews it is good. Micromax is a customer driven company. In the past I had been to micromax service centers they are helpful. This is about bombay.
 
BTW, without affecting data transfer rate what is the effective range of the wireless transmitter?
 
I have sent it. Do respond back once you have received it.

Haven't checked this but works okay in a ten feet room.
