Some modems turn blue while connected to 3G and green on EDGE. On 2 Jul 2014 17:49, "Collins Areba | Tel +254 707 750 788 | twitter @brainiacKE" <arebacollins@gmail.com> wrote:

Hello guys, I live in a place where signal quality is soo bad I only get spotty reception switching between EDGE, UMTS and HSPA. I have an Airtel Modem connected to a TP-Link router that gives me net.

In order to know where to mount the router, I need to establish which spots in the house have HSPA, but I cant figure how to check what the modem is receiving. Could anyone help? Is there a way to check while Modem is connected to router?

Regards, & Thanks in advance.

If the modem has a signal indicator, then you probably will have to monitor the colour of the emitted light then match it with the manufacturer's network scheme. eg : Red = Kaput Green = EDGE Blue = HSPA etc On the downside, I doubt if the network is that spotty enough to constantly maintain a particular type reception in one spot (say HSDPA constantly available at spot X). But then again, these are interesting times ;-) Tony.
