Yes, according to OpenWRT wiki.

I want to buy dual-band router, anyone know any seller in garage sales? This is router raya. Hehe. One of my notebook have Intel 5300 wireless card which does support dual-band.

What you guys need to do are:-
  1. Connect 3G modem directly to your computer
  2. Connect computer to TP Link router using network cable. On TP Link connect the cable to LAN port, not WAN port
  3. Enabled Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) on the 3G adapter
    (Win 7: Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center >> Change adapter settings. Then right-click the 3G adapter >> Properties >> Sharing >> "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection". Under "Home networking connection", choose the ethernet/LAN port)
  4. After ICS is enabled, the ethernet/LAN port will get IP address 192.168.137.1. What you need to do is add secondary IP address, e.g. 192.168.1.10
    (Win 7: Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center >> Change adapter settings. Then right-click the 3G adapter >> Properties >> Networking >> "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" >> Properties >> Advanced >> "IP address" >> "Add..." >> IP address: 192.168.1.10 & Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0)
  5. Connect to router using Putty (SSH). Just enter IP adress 192.168.1.1 & click Open. It will ask you username & password. Username will be root & password that you set.
  6. Enter this command (press enter after typing the command):-
    CODE
    route add default gw 192.168.1.10
  7. Enter this command (press enter after typing the command):-
    CODE
    vi /etc/resolv.conf

    - Press "O" button on the keyboard
    - Type nameserver 8.8.8.8
    - Press "ESC" button on the keyboard
    - Type : and w and q & press Enter button.
  8. If you do this correctly, you should now be able to install the packages. Good luck!

Tried connecting using putty but it says connection timeout. Follow exactly how you guided.

Can you ping 192.168.1.1 from your computer? Did you open http://192.168.1.1 in browser & set the password?

When you enter first command, it will not display any output. It's ok, just continue with next step.

Press ":" & "w" & "q" buttons are basically like typing ":wq" (without quote).

Congratulations! After you have installed all the packages, you just need to reboot the router & disabled Internet Connection Sharing on your computer.

Try save & apply and reboot your router. If USB0 is correct, it should make a connection on next boot.

My router led is still on like normal.  At starting the sys led will blinking fast and after that its stay..  If i plug wan,  wan led lights up like normal and if i plug 3g, vice versa.  Is that consider brick?
I already check that im not sharing the connection,  but at network map it say multi something(forgot the full name) i think maybe because of that i cant access luci.  But where to disable the sharing network?

Did you connect your computer to yellow port on the tp-link router? Did you check whether your computer did get IP address 192.168.1.x?

Do you experienced any slow connection? Lag when playing online games like BF3? If not, it's not bad.

I noticed my interfaced is still br-lan. Maybe this is the main problem  hmm.gif I'm using Windows 8 Pro and connecting my modem using MDMA since E367 latest firmware incompatible with HUAWEI dashboard  sad.gif

Regarding the ping IP address, I never got back the replied after 10 minutes waiting  sweat.gif

br-lan is correct. The settings are correct though.

If you can't ping, then Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) is not done correctly. Check ICS again (watch Chuah's youtube video).
