thanks guys for clearing the doubts on ingress/digress limitation on this router..

i have another question.

My area is covered by DC-HSDPA.

If a 28.8Mbps modem can achieve only 10Mbps speed in my area, will I be able to achieve, say for example, 15Mbps by getting a 42Mbps modem.

I am split between a Huawei E367 and E372 to be used on this router. Thanks

If your place is DCHSPA+ covered, a DC HSPA+ modem only will make full use of the dual carriage data
But for sure, need to consider congestion factor, but with E367 it can go up to 10mbps, its good to upgrade

yea it is as equal to tl-mr3420 V1.2 support LTE,.. even huawei E392  rclxms.gif

My 1043ND currently support E398

Everything better than the prolink except for the "Easy configuration setup for home user" biggrin.gif

In fact I done some research found all all linux based 3G router share the same driver package, just depend whether the manufacturer willing to upgrade the firmware or not

No, traditionally melting method using a soldering iron

Don't try this at home, I do this is a very ventilated place, plastic melting fume is hazardous tongue.gif

just though why not open the whole top cover easier ? instead of drilling / melting hole ?  hmm.gif

The router use the main cover to hold the structure in place, need some strong support to prevent it from falling since its placed vertically biggrin.gif

use a Cat6E Lan cable, you can see the difference and yes ,, take away the heat generated will greatly improve the performance...........i gonna find a wat to fix my router near my air-cond blower as air cond air is Nitrogen cooled and its dry too  thumbup.gif 

btw, is this 1043ND still available in the market now?

Cat6E.. Hmmm... Depends lorh, I don't think I need such sophisticated hardware, my last 100mbit internet project for a school use Cat5E only.

Nothing much I can do for now cry.gif Maxis tower in my location is down already vmad.gif

I suggest everyone take a look at Asus RT-N13U
http://my.asus.com/Networks/Wireless_Routers/RTN13U/

It's a 3G router with better spec compared to MR3420 and better

MR3420 having QC issue

i believe whatever stuff you buying it is also depends  on luck too,

my TL_MR3420 was working fine as from day 1, and there is this inccident my TL-MR3420 drop to floor from very high woofer shelf on wall, only my E372 is kaput and my TL-MR3420 was fine still after that,..
*
Really depends on luck, my 1043ND dropped from on top of the household electric switchboard several time, still working.

Anyway, I submitted a report to TP-LINK, hope they are aware about this issue

I heard from friend that a lot of IT shops in Low Yat has closed and their space taken over by handphone shops.
Is this true?

Yes, taken over by those camera and handphone shops as more and more people buying from internet nowadays but nothing rival LYP price tongue.gif

Actually i wan stability and i used to custom firmware. Is the OpenWRT stable enough?


Added on September 19, 2012, 1:34 pm

Hey bro

I just tested a Huawei E372 with Asus RT-N13U B1..it is working fine. Just make sure the firmware is the latest.
*
Not very stable with 3G as there's no native 3G support until now
Sometime the 3G modem "hang" or disconnected need power cycle to reconnect.

Rebooting wont help
