actually the current TL-MR3420 V1 can support 4G LTE modem like ZTE MF820D, confirm by our member Blacktubi

so no need to upgrade router is fine as well

LTE modems such as MF820 bin files are already available from TP-LINK

www.tp-link.com/en/support/3g/

Further confirmation from TP-LINK Modem compatible list
MF820
www.tp-link.com/en/support/3g-comp-list/?model=TL-MR3420&location=2107

Even E398 already in the list
www.tp-link.com/en/support/3g-comp-list/?model=TL-MR3420&location=2094

Looks like dont need to get new V1.2 router at all !!!

1) For powerful one, just buy MR3420. It having WiFi with more capacity and more power.
2) Strainer works as focusing the signal which makes it slightly more directional. Provided you must aim it to the tower

now can use those item below for reflecting signal

- cookie tin ( work best for me )
- strainer
- soya box 1 liter pack
- stainless steel

my tp link mr4320 cant read my e1550,if i plug the e1550 to pc it can read,but when i try to do the set up,the is no connection on my tp lonk.how to settle this?anyone know

update your mr3420 to latest firmware,.

refer to first pages first post for firmware link

so the items are for reflecting signal, means it should be towards base station right?
the router antenna is just for wifi signal right? or should it be towards the base station as well?

those reflecting signal item it meant to be used for your usb modem,

router antenna signal dont need any reflecting as 3dBi both antenna is good enough

thanks

where can i get tht item?

u refer to which item ?

Hello all, can anyone recommend which is the best combo option for 3G router + 3G usb modem?

Is it TL-MR3420 + Huawei usb modem E1762 on front page is a great option for getting lesser ping and stronger signal?

best combo? mr3420 with e372 or e367 for me.

Just bought another unit

I'm experiencing the "limited connectivity" problem when using bgn or n only. I can connect via wireless for about 5-10 minutes, after that, I get "limited connectivity". This happens for both my laptop and smartphone.

I've switched the router to use "g" only and everything works just fine.

Same issue though changed a new unit 1 to 1 changed the channel also the same? 1,6,11

Common problem with TP Link MR3420. So, just switch it to B&G only and use channel 1,6 and 11.

I bought my second unit of MR3420

Same issue as well

Have to set it "N" only, switch country to Japan and use channel 14

N, JAPAN then channel 14 solved the WIRELESS INACTIVE problem?
