Utilities & Mobile Globe Router with WIFI

They are giving out a modem and router combo. My old Globe WiMax modem did not have a wifi router built in. The new Globe LTE modem does have the modem-wifi combo....and it's complete sh*t. It has horrible signal strength and my computer constantly losses signal then I have to reset my computer or the wifi itself to be able to reconnect. (Though this could be a Windows compatibility issue because if I boot into Linux it does not have the same issue...but I get worse signal with Linux so I might not be able to connect at all from the bedroom which is 20 feet away from the router...walls or not, that shouldn't be an issue.) This issue does not exist with either of my other two linksys routers as I get about 75% signal strength with them. I also have problems when I run either of my personal wifi routers (used as a media network to stream movies to devices over wifi). It doesn't matter what channels I am using either....if it is on the Globe wifi is completely useless.

Another problem I have with Globe's crap equipment is that it is password locked and you can't change the name of the network or the password, which I like to change at least a couple times a year. I'm sure you could figure out the password by doing a search on Google but it's bad practice not to give users the ability to change these things unless they break the law.

FYI: What is the difference between a router and a modem?

 

I was never offered just a router,it was always a wifi router and yes they are Chinese crap. I asked them to set up a router from the UK once they had no clue whatsoever what they were doing! These guys are only trained (brainwashed) to use the globe (Chinese) crap.
I'm also we can change the password but not the user name! When we fist signed up with them they have is a small card with all the login details.

 

The internal parts from your "UK router" (and pretty much everything else you touch) very likely come from China and many of the basic circuit boards are produced in the Philippines. The difference is we demand some standards from these Chinese factories.

They have absolutely no training in setting up a network. They can run a cable, point an antenna and plug something into the wall (if you're lucky) and that's about it. They told me it would be better if I used their WiFi-combo crap....that was a lie so they didn't have to call one of the few that work for Globe that actually have a clue to walk them through the setup. I knew this but thought "how bad could it possibly be, even a crap WiFi router should be usable in this day and age"....well, turns out I was very wrong.

They gave me no such thing. I don't think it would matter for me as I need access to the admin settings of the router to set up my media network. They also block certain ports (pretty much all of them) on the modem side which screws me on remotely viewing my CCTV. That dynamic IP crap ISPs here (and most other places) also screws with my CCTV setup. It's time the world moves over to IPv6.
