mine quite the same too other than the modem is E353 and signal bar higher a bit, the rest is same, the wifi issue drop off after a while probably come from the auto channel, may be we need to select proper channel so our wifi wont crash with our neighbour,.

i use wifi analyser on android to determine the best channel settings for me.

is Auto better?

or a special Value better?

btw, is your FW version the same?

do u think it will support E372?

meanwhile speed still strong as for now (on for more than 8 hrs)

TP Link TL-MR3420/3220 have good OpenWrt firmware support.

what is OpenWrt for?

I noticed that Channel 9 is not working that well for me. It is better than the earlier one but it still stops after a while of inactivation. Any other suggested channel?

Only happen on iPad? How about computer?

Er, I don't turn on my WiFi on my laptop.
Pure LAN only because WiFi is slower compared to LAN. Hehe.

Oh ok. It seem no different on my mac
Did you try to change your mtu? Did you use any extended cable to connect to modem?

Still the MTU I tested the other day, will try again.
Nope, no extended cable. Straight plug to my router.

Use LAN and wifi together will be much smoother

Try put as default MTU..

Mine seems to give priority to WiFi and hence slower for me...

I tried earlier, no big difference.
OK la, will try at night again.

helllo guys, how do i set Tp Link TL-MR3420 to run WDCMA ONLY ?
coz i wanted to get highspeed only at all the times.

Apple products are known to have WiFi incompatibility with certain wireless routers. Only "certified" Apple routers will have less issues. I have the same issue using iPod Touch, iPhone or iPad with MR3420 on factory firmware. The issue is fixed after I started using OpenWRT firmware on MR3420, works on any channels. Must be some sort of algorithm differences among the 2 firmwares. Anyway, whatever works.

My MBP works very well with this router, never experience any drop WIFI issue.

Router on default setup and still running on factory firmware.

Same on my mac

Btw, I just check my router.. I was shock when I saw this

u guys are lucky to have such nice signal as i believe you guys live very close to the tower/base station

how is your speedtest?

I think after some observations, my iPad is working fine. Will monitor for another day.
