direct plug in you need a lightning icon of usb port which u plug in,

normal usb might not supply 5V consistently that's your direct plug sometimes up down a lot

ah....like that ka? my laptop is Dell XPS M1530 (yes, i know it ancient artifact already, but at the time that i bought this laptop, its the best of best ) dont have the kind of usb port that you mentioned...any workaround? because sometimes i need to take the modem on the road and direct plug in to the laptop....

well, u can either look for Cable Y usb cable for your modem,

if without the panel antenna + on the move, speed will be confirm up down

Wat ever Y cable or Lightning port also come to "no use" , because if you use the PC/Laptop for some time, the whole damn mobo gets heated up and when there is too much heat on the mobo, the whole circuit will slow slow dei , meaning your system and USB connection/data transmission also slow slow dei...........

to over come this , dun use WiFi as WiFi also consume power, dun use USB plug-in as this also gets jammed up with less power as its being "eaten" by the mobo........connect via LAN cable from the Router , as LAN routes dun utilise power (CAT6e LAN Cable ~ faster transmission, proven with low ping ) ~ btw, also disable WiFi from the router as that the router dun have to power up the WiFi Chips and fully utilise the 1A of electricity to suck in the signal into the modem.

i think u didnt get what he say,

he mention he need to on the move sometimes, and using E367,..

and the different between Cat5e & Cat 6 lan cable is almost not much at all if u are using it for 3~10Mbps connection unless u are subscribe to Time 100Mbps speed fibre ,..

i am using 7.5Meter of Cat5e lan cable, and yet my ping and speed is still awesome too

I use 2M daiso Cat5e lan cable

@Chuah

Have you used a CAT6e cable to benchmark before?

If not you should try, after that you would "hard sell" this cable like you have been doing to OpenWRT these past week again

yes i try,

almost as zero in different, price wise is huge different

unless you are on gigabit lan port with 100Mbps ~ 1000Mbps speed in fibre,

otherwise it wont make any different in my situation ,

my wifi connection is also as fast as my Lan cable Cat5E too

That cable have could have some broken bits inside.

I tried a Cat5 ( supplied with the V2 and the ping averages at 100~120ms, whereas my Cat6e cable, longer at 2meters ping at abt 27~100ms, averages 45ms ~ current LIVE result , via Router only........

tested myself with Cat6 cable,

zero different compare with my Cat5E with 7.5Meter, originally is 15 meter, i cut it into half

you are using Cat 5 not cat5e though

U sambung sendiri the lan Port ? the end that u cut?

here is my ping ms response with 7.5 meter Cat5E lan cable + TL-MR3420 V1 + ZTE MF680

your area RSSI= 55~65

my area RSSI=93 and yet i can touch 23~29 ms, on a HW550 default FW, no OpenWRT, no Antenna , no fan , no stripping , no cooler pad ,

Imagine if i bring my HW550+Cat6E to your place, can i get <20ms ?

bro, you wan to exchange your HW550 with my MR3420 ?

nope u wont get that, i try before with Cat6 & Cat6e lan cable, diferent is not very much with Cat5E , all test lan cable length is @ 1 meter

Added on November 11, 2012, 5:33 pmMR3420 is much more user friendly than HW550,

confirm is a lost if proceed

this router so good......much better than unifi given.....
somebody who use maxis corporate, can u pm me..tell me where u buy that. tq

I was trying to drive home the point that a HW550 + CAT6e LAN cable on a RSSI of -93dBm can get a ping of between 23~29 , why can it go lower if the RSSI is 55~65 dBm ? All these is without OpenWRT, No Cooling Pad, No Fan blowing, No Modem and Router stripping, No cool mountain air , No Antenna.

You cant say NO, when you have not tested my setup in your area.

I am trying to say that HW550 can achieve it. You try what ever means with your MR3420 and show me a ping of 23~29 , then i say that MR3420 is much better

I even give you the handicap of you having a more superior RSSI compared to my jeeby RSSI of -93dBM compared to yours of -55dBm and a lousy speedtest of



which you constantly getting >10Mbps too

it is just personal preferences, like i love penang and you love Sban,..

i wont argue with you,..

i dont need any lower ping as my websites is loading as fibre like connection,.. and i dont play any online game at all

plus i do have cat6 lan cable of 1 meter laying in my drawer, i did even ask whether fruitie is selling cat6 lan cable as well, after i ask her i proceed to buy my own, u can check with fruitie

is the same as you, u not yet try OPENWRT yet, ( even i offer to help you flashing it ), u keep insist stock firmware is good,.

This is how my HW550 looks when stripped.

Care to show a MR3420 looks inside ?

Come help me to flash.
