What do u mean by type of signal bro?

log in to the admin page of your router. then, on the upper right corner, you will the signal type that you are receiving. it's either GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA OR HSDPA.

GPRS (Global Packet Radio Service) - signal commonly used for 2G or GSM phones with a theoretical data transfer rates of 53.6 kbps.

EDGE (Enhaced Data Rates for GSM Evolution or Enhanced GPRS) - can't remember the theoretical transfer rate for this.

WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) - 3rd Generation (3G) wireless standard which utilize for both voice and data with a theoretical transfer rate of up to 384 kbps.

HSDPA (High - Speed Downlink Packet Access) - an upgrade for wcdma network type. it is like your having a unwired T1 connection or greater with a theoretical transfer rate of up to 7.2 mbps.

admin keen, try to move your router to other place if the signal you get is other than HSDPA or WCDMA.
