I will do a guide soon or wait for Chuah

Right now my modem cannot be unplugged since I need it

i think there sure other way rather than buying another modem/router just to download the package

This one is best solution lah but wastage of $ mah

sure bro thanks for your help

What you guys need to do are:-

1. Connect 3G modem directly to your computer
2. Connect computer to TP Link router using network cable. On TP Link connect the cable to LAN port, not WAN port
3. Enabled Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) on the 3G adapter
   (Win 7: Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center >> Change adapter settings. Then right-click the 3G adapter >> Properties >> Sharing >> "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection". Under "Home networking connection", choose the ethernet/LAN port)
4. After ICS is enabled, the ethernet/LAN port will get IP address 192.168.137.1. What you need to do is add secondary IP address, e.g. 192.168.1.10
   (Win 7: Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center >> Change adapter settings. Then right-click the 3G adapter >> Properties >> Networking >> "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" >> Properties >> Advanced >> "IP address" >> "Add..." >> IP address: 192.168.1.10 & Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0)
5. Connect to router using Putty (SSH). Just enter IP adress 192.168.1.1 & click Open. It will ask you username & password. Username will be root & password that you set.
6. Enter this command (press enter after typing the command):-
   
   CODE
   route add default gw 192.168.1.10
7. Enter this command (press enter after typing the command):-
   
   CODE
   vi /etc/resolv.conf
   
   - Press "O" button on the keyboard
   - Type nameserver 8.8.8.8
   - Press "ESC" button on the keyboard
   - Type : and w and q & press Enter button.
8. If you do this correctly, you should now be able to install the packages. Good luck!

the other way is using ready-to-use firmware mod by kaskus user. Original openwrt is basic firmware need install this install that. This mod firmware is like ubuntu remaster. flash with your own risk.

wow good tutorial ,try tomorrow

Tried connecting using putty but it says connection timeout. Follow exactly how you guided.

Can you ping 192.168.1.1 from your computer? Did you open http://192.168.1.1 in browser & set the password?

tried ping request not found. i did not set any password to 192.168.1.1 i just login to open wrt.

I notice if i shared 3g connection i will not be able to access 192.168.1.1 but if i unshared i am able to login back.

Ok i did a mistake i change the 3g network rather than lan network that why i am enable to connect lol.......... Ok now done can connect using putty but i tried inputting the command you told me nothing came out now. At first i actually input wrongly will it effect?

Not sure did i input correctly from your quite not really understand these step: - Press ":" & "w" & "q" buttons & press Enter button.

I tried and update again and its still failed...

When you enter first command, it will not display any output. It's ok, just continue with next step.

Press ":" & "w" & "q" buttons are basically like typing ":wq" (without quote).

After click ;wq and enter this is what i got. Did i do it correctly? sorry i am no good in linux

You forgot colon ":". It should be ":wq" not ";wq".

omg atlast after all the noob hassle. Thanks for your time and help

Congratulations! After you have installed all the packages, you just need to reboot the router & disabled Internet Connection Sharing on your computer.

Ok bro now another problem. For step 7. i don really understand I am using E367 modem and would be maxis broadband. How do i setup.

What do you see in drop-down menu?

i follow most of the option listed there. At firewall there i need to choose /dev/ttyl/USB0 only able to see the connection interface. That means i did it correctly?
