Zain Internet Router
26 01 2008Posted By Mishary.
A week ago i upgraded my subscription to 7.2 Mbps and ive noticed that my download rate doesnt exceed 50kb/s with my Merlin XU870, turned out that my card just support up to 3.6Mbps. So i went to Zain branch yesterday and bought the Zain router.
Whats in the box:
- Zain Router.
- Charger.
- Ethernet cable.
- USB cable.
- Manual.
You can see it above its pretty small.
Now it gives me around 130 kb/s when downloading, i know its still not that fast for “7.2 mbps” bs emkafeny esara7aaa 
And for the price it cost me KD100.
same speed with eGo thingie, sometimes it went over 300 kbps as for downloading.
congratulations on both the router n the upgrading.

How is the port forwarding in Zain router … i am using the old Wataniya router with Zain connection and i am suffering just to make the linux SSH work through it
I phoned Zain about this and was speaking to a guy who, coincidentally, also uses his own domain name for his personal email. He told me that Zain don’t provide an outgoing SMTP server. So I just signed up for smtp2go.com (US$1.99/month) and it’s working well.

hey man i need help i just bought zain router and i cant access the web to setup my wireless. i want to get my laptop connected to my router. im using the router with my desktop computer throu USB.
they told me to go to this website
192.168.1.1 but i cant access it
Can any one help me out about ZAIN Internet Router…….i want to know what is the cost of the Router.
Reading the posts above, I see that Zain is using Qualitynet internet service. Is that true? I am a current Qualitynet subscriber, and quite frankly I’ve never been more dissatisfied with anything I’ve bought in my life. They provide terrible serivce, and they’re customer service reps are incompitent. I was thinking about switching to Zain, but if they’re service is provided through qualitynet, I might have to think twice about that. Can anybody tell me more about this?
Thanks.
Sager wallah I think 100kd. not sure though.
Tom I don’t know much about the router, but i’m using the Ego and I really like using it. its fast and the service is always up, till now, aside from the poor coverage in Alzoor, i haven’t encountered any real problem.
The zain internet router service sucks, it is nowhere near the advertised speeds on a normal day. Upon spending 100kd on the router I got home and was unable to get a signal lock. After spending a whole day between sharq and hawally the firmware needed to be updated. I had to spend 3kd more to have this done, and the router was only 1 day old. Zain is very sketchy in that they are selling routers that have outdated firmware, and won’t connect on the data portion. For 29kd a month plus the outrageous price of the router, internet service in kuwait sucks. Inshalla may work for some, but when you have already paid someone money, that doesn’t cut it. I can’t wait until the oil runs out!
