your are U mobile user a lot ? i think u mobile been done very often lately too

Yup. I think also too, esp peak hrs. No choice, so far umobile is considered good in my place. Maybe later will try out Maxis again. Hopefully their system upgraded in my place.
Btw, i am quite doubtful abt the ping value. When i tested ipad, the ping is above 150 but below 200 all the time. My laptop so far is the best, all the time below 90. Today early morning test ipon, very bad, very bad above 250 but below 300. Very strange.
Tested these 3 toys again n again this morning 6am also giving me the same thing. My conclusion is not the tp 3420 router. It is not the modem too. It is the device itself.
But again, when i use back the streamys modem but connected to streamyx, which is chap ayam Riger my laptop ping is quite similar to ipad. Both below 75, n their variances is very close. In fact, ping for ipad is lower than laptop at all time.
Maybe apple products very sensitive to freq 3G. Router + 3g freq = no good. Today will try use some extension to apart the modem n router.

yea, keep on try and error then u will find out, i guess the apple product sensitive to the wireless channel frequency,.

Hmmm. Tested few things.
Apart away modem to router, 1 feet. No diff
Setting router channel from auto to 11. No diff
Changing router mode to only n, g, bgn, bg. No big diff. Stick back mode bg.
Ipad Ping value still high compare to laptop.

Added on April 29, 2012, 5:43 pmIs TP Link MR3420 support Huawei E372? Anyone tried before? I can't see it in their compatibility list. If supported, do we need to upgrade MR3420 firmware before using it?
Thanks.

Yup. If you use a router you can't track using MDMA

i cant use tversity to stream anything over mr3420...what setting should i tweak?

Currently Im using Maxis broadband. So far, its worked fine when just plugging the bb modem to single computer.
The problem is occurred when i plugged into TP 3G router (Model: TP-MR3420), all of my computers (win7) only will disconnect from the internet service (still connected, but the wifi icon got the exclamation mark and cant access to 192.168.1.1) very frequently(1-10min will disconnect once), but iphone and macbook rarely. So i have to reconnect again and again.

BB modem is E173u-1
3G Router TP-Link TP-MR3420
BB ISP Maxis
Windows 7 Pro and Home Premium

Router 3G's setting
Mobile ISP - Maxis_unet
Connection mode - Auto
Dial net - *99#
APN - unet
Username and password - blank
Authentication type - Auto
MTU Size - 1480
DNS - 8.8.8.8
Secondary DNS - 8.8.4.4

I have troubleshoot to TP, but what they told me is the TP-LINK router is functioning well.

Any pro here can help me?

Did you try changing the WIFI channel?
On the menu go to wireless>wireless setting
Try select channel 9?

do u have a Huawei modem to test?

these are the same as mine,


Router 3G's setting
Mobile ISP - Maxis_unet
Connection mode - Auto
Dial net - *99#
APN - unet
Username and password - blank
Authentication type - Auto
MTU Size - 1480
DNS - 8.8.8.8
Secondary DNS - 8.8.4.4

except;
username = maxis
password = wap

and try to use Apn = MaxisBB

btw, what package is your subscription?

i am using channel 6...
seriously what does the channel does? dont really understand what it for.

Im using business plan, unlimited data. I changed APN to maxisbb, the network icon didnt show the exclamation mark anymore when i playing pps. I think ok ald =D Many thanks

Glad that we managed to solve your problem..............

too bad the problem came back again.
took a few hour to go thru all the posts, nw changed to channel auto, wil take a day for observation.
as wifi analyzer suggested channel is 11 (5stars in my area), but router auto channel is 4 (only 1 star in wifi analyzer). Which 1 more reliable?

This post has been edited by kahleong888: May 3 2012, 04:10 AM

i use Auto, and it changes everytime i on/off the router

try both manually and see which one work for u

Channel 6 works the best for me. Until today no drop line at all, I Googled and found out that this channel works the best for TP Link MR 3420.

ya, my connection to internet does not have problem, no drop at all.
it's only when i use to streaming media at other device using dnla. no matter i use tversity, orb caster, plex media server, the streaming is super slow, even cant streaming at all.
previous using adsl, linksys wag200 no issue at all, streaming media on ipad from my pc using tversity is super smooth, even can do real time skip, no need to wait.

mr3420 is 802.11n, should have 300mbps max transfer rate, i wonder why it fare a lot worse than my wag200 with 52mbps max transfer...is there anything in the modem config i should look out for?

I only use B/G anyway. N isn't that stable for me.

would it affect internet speed if only on b/g?
