love your new siggy look, so pretty have color like window 8 metro

Is Blacktubi user, not Penguin

router is for sharing connection easier,

for signal, u need to tweak your modem TX power,

or use reflecting signal method ,

and find best spot in your area,

best signal = dont guarantee best speed

best speed = dont guarantee best signal

i am super NOOB in linux too,

while learning here and asking some user here ( Maxcheam, ruzumaki, Kizwan, xernix, etc etc ) and there,..

slowly pick up , and copy everything down,..

i try my best,

hope the video tutor is ok for you guys,

please watch 720pHD in Full screen for more clearer detail

well,

if u are just want to plug in your modem and direct share the connection & dont mind the TP LINK stock firmware at all, then of course V2 will be good due to support 3G & 4G both

while if u know a little bit about openwrt ( linux ), then u might want to get V1~V1.3 version, as V2 dont support openwrt firmware for now,.

depends on personal preferences,

for me after i try both TP LINK & Openwrt firmware, i would rather stay with Openwrt

just my humble opinion

i not yet try V2, so far i try V1 & V1.3,..

the stock firmware have a few issue here and there in above version ,

so i will stick with V1 or V1.3 in my personal point of view

Added on October 31, 2012, 4:16 pmif u using this router, u can only see signal in how many % in your 192.168.1.1 web interface

if u want to see RSSI,

just direct plug your usb modem in your computer usb port..

for me i prefer consistency and stable,.. so signal doesn't matter much to me

depends on my area that which base station i am connected,

sometimes 29~34% i can get decent speed

while sometimes 65~80% i get crap speed,

distance on how far is the base station = the % in signal,

also depends on UMTS900 band or UMTS2100 band,.

as UMTS900 band frequency signal stronger in penetration object so indoor will get more % than UMTS2100 band

sometimes connect to the nearest base station doesnt mean u will get best speed if that nearest base station congested

after using this TP LInk router a while, u will know which base station when u see the %,..

now i am using Openwrt firmware, so no more signal % or RSSI,..

purely stable and no worries on which base station

i know my speed with openwrt is super stable, so that's is good enough for me,.

signal % is not main issue,. as long as stability consistency is towards 100%

u can try to set , if is not working well u always can set it back to original value 23

try every number until u reaach 33, u will know whether improve or decrease performances

then pick best number that fit your modem

so between both option that u give, answer = Openwrt

in my area, signal % standard at certain range, depends on which tower i am connect to...

well, sorry as i mention before many times, i am super noob in linux,

any detail on openwrt, u need to google search, or check with some pro here,.

for me personally i dont mind what signal it is, as long as stable speed at certain range

10. To check signal strength run:

it is easy and fast right ?

love the openwrt ? reconnect when DC also very fast in blink

did u set auto ping google in your openwrt too ?

step is @ first post , auto ping google is keep your connection active from idle

oh, i see
thanks for your tips, really helpful,

so must Disconnect the 3g-wan connection first before using that commad

yea u are right

but after disconnect signal confirm is low compare to connected time

[attachmentid=3131446]

it works







[attachmentid=3131500]

yes, it can detect E372 and ZTE MF680 both,..

u can refer first post for modem device
