Does TF700T Support 3G USB Modem? - Asus Transformer TF700

I had been waiting for this tf700t for 4 months and it's finally arrived but not the 3G version. I am out of patience now and thinking about buying a tf300tg unless tf700t supports 3g USB modem. Does it support? What would I miss if bought tf300 instead? Help please. I am about to get crazy!!! :banghead:

Or a way of using 3G on this tablet anyway?

I use my cell phone's 3G connection in tether mode - as a modem for my TF700T.

That's what I thought to do but unfortunatly my phone doesn't support 3G, only edge. So I startded searching for other ways.

You could always get a MiFi device. In case you don't know its a very small modem which takes a 3G SIM and then acts like a wifi hostspot. You can connect up to 5 devices to the 3G network with it. So if your phone has wifi you can connect that as well as your tablet and laptop etc.

Now, that is the best solution for such a condition. Thanks for the hint and enjoy your TF700T :good:

i'm using this device, it works great, even supports HSPA+ and is quite affordable in comparison to other similar devices:

if you have the asus USB adapter you can even charge the mifi device through the tablet

Yeah I saw that and tried but i couldn't find a clear adress for a "Huawei Shop". That's why i said that. But I'll try my chances to find it.

I'm using a Huawei E586 wireless 3G modem as well. Best thing I ever bought. Turn it on leave in pocket or bag and you have 3G wireless connectivity everywhere you go.

Pretty good mate. I think it's rated for 6 to 7 hours of continuous use. It's not run down on me during a day of use. It shows you the usage on the screen so I can track how much I am using a month as well.

5Ghz Wifi capable or not?

Hi there,
i just got my TF300T and i'm quite happy with it (coming from LG Optimus Pad it's no wonder ).
But i have one question/issue where i can't find an answer for:
I have a Netgear Router which is capable of using 2,4Ghz and 5Ghz Wifi simultaniously. Now i can connect my Transformer with the 2,4Ghz without any issues and everything works fine. But if i have a look into the Wifi list on my Transformer i can see the 5Ghz connection but it alway states that it's out of reach.
Is the Transformer Pad capable of using 5Ghz connections or not? If yes, what is wrong with my pad?
Thanks for any replies

I dont even see the 5Ghz option in my wifi list. I don't think its capable but I wish it was. I have a toggle in the wifi settings on my gnexus so I connect that to my 5Ghz.
No......
Yeah no 5ghz

Do you have more than 30mbit Internet connection? What is it that your doing that needs that much speed? The range on 5ghz is lower... I'm curious.

1080p movie streaming locally for one. I'm kinda pissed there's not 5ghz support for that alone.
actually a very very very small percentage of tablets have that support. The main accepted one is the 2.4Ghz band.

Well, for fast transferring of files, HDTV streaming, etc.
I watch 1080p with no problem... I just copy it to my 32gig sd card or use wifi file explorer pro and copy it to the internal storage... I get around 4.5 megabytes a sec transfer...

Does your WiFi suck too?

This is my second Asus tablet. I still have a TF101 that I've used for the past 16 or 17 months that had this same problem. That problem is WiFi connectivity. As I type this I'm sitting about five feet from my router and have, at maximum, a 19Mbps WiFi connection on the TF700. I've seen it as low as 5Mbps.
I can't even stream HD Youtube videos on this tablet without it buffering literally every 3 seconds of playback. And that's five feet from the router. Meanwhile, my Galaxy Nexus will play the same video in HD from multiple rooms away with no pauses for buffering.
I've read complaints in the past about Asus tablets and their connectivity issues, but I was under the impression that this has been resolved with the plastic strip at the top of the device.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
No issues for me. I stream from my pc at about 30 feet away and still dont experience these issues. I have fios. and my speeds are pretty damn good.

I'm on a 24Mbps internet connection, so I know that's not the issue. And as I said, my Nexus streams everything just fine. This is really frustrating...
Your issue sounds like it's all you. The WiFi has vastly improved since the TF201.
None with mine.
Way way better than my tf201. With YouTube I have a better connection on the web than I do with the app.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
Absolutely no issues!!! Loving it!
Nope, mine is actually running better than my nexus. Getting 22meg download speeds on my T700, Galaxy Nexus, just a tad less. Was constantly getting buffering on my TF201 but not the TF700. I am about 30 feet from my router.

Workin' good here
Steady good connection thru a coupla walls...
Mine is fairly consistent, no drops, but not the best speeds. I have a 50mbps connection but can only get about 25mbps down on the Infinity. My Galaxy Note gets much better speeds because I can utilize the 5ghz spectrum on it.
I know - quit complaining.... lots of people would love to get 25mbps download speed
What keeps me happy is that I can now watch You Tube with no lag or buffering at all. Never could do that with the prime.

I am using WPA2-PSK encryption and my wifi is awful compared to my laptop.
I have 90-95Mbit/s on average on my laptop while my tf700 gets between 15-25Mbit/s.

Again - this does not indicate a problem - the wifi in the Infinity is not supposed to be as fast as the wifi in your laptop! The max speed of the wifi hardware in the Infinity is 65mbps (actually, I've read one report of someone getting up to 72Mbps), but most laptops have 300Mbps wifi cards.
Of course it's not going to be as fast as your laptop.... Has to do with the number of antennas, etc...

Where would you need any more speed than that in tablet use?
Even if you downloaded some bigass 'linux distros' using torrents, wlan technology is least of your concerns to get same speeds than desktop/laptop.
I have 200mbit internet connection and i wouldnt even think needing 1/4 of it for tablet
For OPs question: Havent tested my speeds yet but signal is excellent even from htc sensation tether!

To answer the OP's question: Yes the wifi speed does suck, but apparently that's to be expected on tablets.

It does not "suck" - it's appropriate for the devices expected usage. There is a big difference.

I have a Linksys E4200 and i am outside of my house, by the water, about 60-70 feet away from my router and i get one bar, but that more than enough for streaming HD videos on youtube and 1080p videos off my NAS without lag. So yes, this issue sound specific to you and since you've had the same with your tablet, im guessing it's youre router.
Change channels? dont thinl it'll do anyhting but youve got nothing to lose

Question on tethering or quick tether.

Hi,
Wasn't quite sure where to put the question so mods, feel free to move.
So I use Bluetooth tether to connect my TF700T to my HTC One X and this works really well. The only drawback is having to keep going into settings to connect.
I would like a widget on the home screen where I can just click to connect. I have tried a few from Play Store but I can't seem to get any to work.
I currently have Smart Bluetooth Widget but each time I try connecting it fails.
Anyone know of any others that actually work?
Thanks.

This doesn't answer your specific question, but I personally use an app called Open Garden - allows for fully automated bluetooth tethering. If you tablet needs an internet connection and one doesn't exist, it will automatically tether to your phone via bluetooth using the Open Garden apps. Works really well...

Hi jtrosky,
Sorry for late reply and thanks for the info.
I tried OG a few days ago and couldn't get the devices to connect. Found some advice on the OG forum to leave the app running for a few hours and they should connect. I did this and the forgot about it. Then tonight, out of the blue I get a notification and when I looked it was OG connected.
I've been playing around turning BT on and off and restarting devices and still find they take ages to connect. I know there is a connection button in the OG app to force the connection but I may as well connect in Bluetooth settings as do that.
The other thing that concerns me about this app is that anyone else with this app and within Bluetooth or wifi range would automatically connect to the same 'mesh' network and be able to use my data plan, and me theirs of course.
If the app evolves and includes user settings to include/exclude other devices into the 'mesh' network and devices connecting becomes more instantaneous it may be more attractive.
I'll probably keep trying this out for a few more days but I would really like to find a quick connect button solution for tethering.
Thanks again.

That's strange - I use OpenGarden between my Nexus 7 and my HTC EVO 3G and it connects instantly, as soon as I enable bluetooth on my Nexus 7 (I leave bluetooth enabled on my HTC phone). I agree about that there is a lack of capabilities to "lock out" other users, although in practice, I've never had anyone else actually connect, so it's not an issue for me.
Let us know if you get OpenGarden working better - I use it quite a bit when eating lunch - works perfect every time... Good luck.

Thanks but its not the direction I was looking to go really.
My tablet tethers to my phone really well just using standard tethering features. I was just wanting a quicker way to do it then navigating to settings each time.
Anyway, fount a solution that fits perfectly. It called Bluetooth Shortcut and that is literally what it is.
The button is on my homepage which when clicked takes be directly to my list of paired devices in settings. So in two clicks I'm connected. Which is what I was trying to achieve.
Thanks for your inputs all the same.

Hello everybody,
On my previous tablet a TF101 (which belong now to my wife) with Megatron ROM

Use a 3G or 4G mifi device instead. You put your simple in it and it connects wirelessly over wifi. Works beautifully. You can connect up to 5 devices at on time too. I use a Huawei e583
Tethering from your phone or using one of those 4G hotspots would be a lot easier.

Of this current infinity, no. Of the next, who knows, maybe, maybe not.
Have you tried and asked any Windows tablet owners if they can dual boot android? (I have no idea)
Worst case scenario, buy these 3 things: Windows tablet, infinity tablet, superglue
I'm just kidding of course. I'm sure there is something out there that can give you dual boot, I remember seeing a video of a large tablet (more than 10") that could do this, maybe it was even Asus, can't fully remember.

I will be honest, I don't fully understand your question, and could be others aren't either.
Are you speaking of the infinity version with carrier Internet or the wifi version?
I'd say most of us on here have the wifi version, meaning we don't have a sim card.

Maybe if you buy the original USB adapter from Asus and then hook the 3G dongle, otherwise i can't see how you could use it, the tablet alone doesn't have an USB/Micro USB port.

I cannot promise you that this is 100% correct, but I believe it is said in another thread that Windows 8 requires a different type of software at the boot loader / startup level. Boot loaders cant be flashed anymore after the patch from .26 to .30 when ICS was the stock ROM and you cannot downgrade from .30 to .26. That is why it is said to get NVFLASH which could be done on the earlier versions so if a corruption happened it could be restored. Once you are on 4.1.1 or 4.2.1 you are out of luck, like I was.

This may be what you're looking for. It's not a tf700, though it is still an Asus, with similar setup of tablet and keyboard dock ...

Can't wait to hear the price on that! And I doubt it'll be under $1000....
Edit: Actually - I take that back! Just looked at the Asus AiO, an 18" (!!) Android running tablet docked to a Windows 8 running base, dual booting, great specs and sells for $1270 on Amazon. Damn! Now I can't wait for my desktop to croak....

yeah haha, I'm sure it will have a hefty price tag too!
not to forget mentioning:
what's going to go on with updates to each OS, - how will that be administered?
How slow will it be when asus needs to pair those updates (if it does), i.e. android goes to 4.3, but windows not ready and stays same version.
how much space is left in the device after have Android in there as well as hefty windows OS?
how much support/attention will this get from developers - I don't see many. "bootloader? which one? how?"
Can one run a custom android rom while the other stays stock wondows?
many unknowns here (for us, not general user of course)
still a neat device = yes
do i really also need windows on my tablet, and do I need one larger than 10.1" = no
and asus can remove the 4k hdmi out of the new infinity and focus on I/O, I hope new owners dont get stuck like we did (and tf200 users).
first thing i'll be interested to see are the benchmarks. Thank goodness for sdbags and everyone who make the tablet (tf700) what it should have been, and probably better!
