i revert back to TP LINK firmware 3 times before i success convert into open wrt, because short of the 2 packages

after u revert to stock firmware,

u need to remember to the bandwidth control as listed in first post

trust me, once it work, he he, u will know how lousy the stock firmware is

i think from the error he post, he didnt plug in lan cable with internet connection into the blue lan port of the router before he click updates,

to updates the list of packages, u need internet connection to the router

otherwise u have to update the router via Putty with SSH

how to flash back to TP LINK Stock firmware from Open wrt

how i wish maxis hire me

well i just always believe "Sharing is Caring"

even though i am SUPER NOOB in open wrt /linux

my TL-MR3420 with open wrt, connect after 5 second, if DC or reboot,.

u can set the timing , how long u want to modem to connect/reconnect,

under that advance setting part where i put 20 second in video tutor

oh this openwrt also solve my stuck @ UMTS2100 3G issue,.

now after connect directly log on DC-HSPA+ network,.

of course your modem need to tweak UMTS2100 band only with MDMA

and tweak 27TX power with blacktubi guide

which command u refer to ?

is it the disable autorun thing command ? if yours is zte mf680, dont need to disable autorun,..

only older zte model need to

just flash update the router to latest firmware ,

this Tp Link stock firmware is quite good already,..

anymore advance have to -> open wrt

i try open wrt because after a while i use, sometimes my router have no response,.. like ding dong, at first i suspect my router gone liao, but after try this open wrt ,realise is tp link stock firmware issue,..

the issue is request time out in my CMD ping ..

yea i use that firmware version 120523 before i flash open wrt,..

too many request time out issue and the wireless issue,

after use this open wrt, everything is fine, and so less DC,. super stable and super fast dial & auto reconnect too

thanks to those few user who guide me through all this open wrt,..

now i open up router cover too,

let the server fan blow at it to make it air con effect

some places have already,. but lowyat not yet have any stock on V2,.

only V1 can use with open wrt though, so i prefer to stay with V1,.

anytime,. hope your flashing is smooth, finger cross
