The signal interference from the step down transformer is killing your 3G signal dude.............

Cant you just buy an AC Fan

just buy a Patch Antenna, simple

is it easy to revert back to stock FW if the OpenWRT fails?

i dare not touch it till now

Panel Antenna, the smarter choice.

Bought this from LYP yesterday

and i disable WiFi, use LAN only

i am not good at flashing and wont use my router for 24/7 ~ scare kena brick for no reasons

i guess openwrt wont helps much in my case, i only use the router to have a better DL speed compared to raw plug-in which the usb wont be able to supply enough power. if i need to use WiFi, i will only enable it. I tested by disabling WiFi the router performs much better interms of DL speed

rm85 for a V2, memang berbaloi

MR3420 V2, simple and short review

Rm85 @ LYP

Nothing special, just cooler, no need extra fan, you see its bottom and you understands why no need fan.

Another good feature, Side modem plug-in, better reception compared to V1 (back plug-in).

@Chuah,

You should try Tomato firmware on Asus RT-N15u, rm189, support 3GUSB modem

V1 use 192.168.1.1 , set only Lan connection

V2 use 192.168.0.1 set WiFi and Lan connection

use V1 on usb3G modem than LAN out to V2 ( set this accept connection via LAN as main and another usb modem as backup )

you get super consistent and very responsive connection too







if you could afford a more expensive router like Asus RT-N15u, (reference price rm189, support 3GUSB modem too)

use it as the second router



If you only have one usb modem and only one simcard, use LAN only on second router as below



WiFi from my V2 is not bad too,

via i3Gs on WiFi

I wont flash my MR3420 V1, cause its not available anymore. Want to keep that for collection purpose. I bought it for rm50, used set

DDWRT is much stable, maybe i will buy a Linksys WRT54GL flash with DD-WRT V24 SP2 Special Firmware Special Edition , no need the hassle to flash and get headache


Now i am thinking of using a secondary USB modem to backup my connection, incase the main one decide to go on "leave", Celcom as backup via MR3420 V1 connected via the LAN port of the V2

how good your connection also cannot fight with Off Line from Maxis if u dun have a backup

First, i am not rich, just a normal guy that earn less than most of you guys here.

Its my passion on Internet & Networking that made me spend on these gadgets. I dun smoke,drink,gamble and "Cheong", so i can afford my gadgets

Anyway, the Linksys router that i intends to acquire cost only rm250 and Celcom SKMM only rm25/mth ( this is only for backup purpose~ browsing , no DL )



btw, you are lucky to stay in a place where Maxis Rulez
