I recently bought me a 4G modem Huawei E8278, which is supercool and reliable. My problem is that I connect it to my desktop PC and the speed is ridiculously bad (15mbit/s down at best and ~1mbit/s up), although I am aware of that my sim card is on unlimited speed/data. Ok. Bought me a Trendnet TU2-EX5, which I supposed was good enough to extend my 4g modem and I could place it near a window and get faster speeds. The funny thing is, that is doesn't work that way for some reason. It seems that this cable (it is an active USB repeater) cannot provide enough power to the modem, because when I connected it, it could not boot up. I saw Windows trying to "find new hardware" multiple times, but the device never worked. Duhh.. Now, apparently, I am going to return this cable to the shop, hopefully they are going to take it back. Please give me advice what cable should I buy and be sure it works (I need at least 3 meters long, 5 would be ideal). I mean if You had an actual experience in extending a 4g modem with a USB cable. Thanks in advance.
