thx very much for replying , wil get my v1 unit exchange with v2 since superbuy sent me the wrong unit

Found out the best Setup in my area is like this :
i open the router top cover, upside down it on top of aluminium cooler pad and open the sim card cover make sure either the antenna hole or memory card slot facing down on cooler pad
and speed been 15~17Mbps stable
(tried open ZTE MF680 both cover but speed & signal is decrease remendous )

Combination : ZTE MF680 ( tweaked 33tx ) + TL-MR3420 with Openwrt( top cover open upside down )

[attachmentid=3145585]






i guess it is due to the cooler pad aluminium reflecting signal for the ZTE MF680
so using the powerful fan wont decrease connection speed

looking for new TL-MR3420 version 2. any seller here?

Garages sales many Seller, take your pick

hi all

just bought a new mr3420 just now



can only start use it tonight, when i got back home. got this modem from 2008, hopefully it works.


some Question:
1. the E372 that comes with the maxis broadband... is that locked or unlocked?
2. If locked will it still work with the router?

1 ) E372 maxis set is Locked -> to maxis sim only

2) lock modem of course can use with any 3G router as long as the sim card is correct ISP

thanks for the clarification

also noticed the difference between v1 and v2.. where v1 have the QSS button, v2 don't

well u practically doesn't need the QSS button much anyway,..

V2 running less heat much cooler, dialing modem also faster too,

if u are using V2, u can consider upgrade your usb modem

My ZTE MF820D works with my TP-LINK MR3420

Soon I will get my Huawei E398 and try again

your mf680 tweaked to 33 won't get explode ? is it stable for long run ?

usb modem never explode,

only chipset get fried

so far so good, speed is superb on 33tx

tp-link TD-W8968 this modem can use 3g modem?
Tp Link TL-MR3420 is modem router or router only?

tp-link TD-W8968 = 300Mbps Wireless N USB ADSL2+ Modem Router, the tp link stock firmware come with it dont support 3G with the usb port

tp-link TD-W8968 = 3G router, u need to plug in your own 3G usb modem into it

So you confirm won't explode eh ... so tempted to try mine
ya , I found that your speed is Top 1 among maxis users thus far , for you

Feng Shui is the main key to the speed,

if explode i think weeks ago my modem already gone,

still working as usual

my speed is nothing, u not yet see those user out of this forum

that means tp-link TD-W8968 can plug in 3g modem? mayb consider buy 1 unit..
