I'm eyeing this: TP-Link TL-WDR4300

OpenWRT wiki page here: http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wdr4300

No one tested with 3G yet.

seems like a great target to replace 1043ND
External Power Supply = 12VDC / 1.5A drool.gif

nice product with 2 USB ports. Can easily do load balancing and failover without additional hardware.  thumbup.gif
what's the expected price?
*
wow Openwrt Load balance confirm working in a blink and amazing effect,.

dual usb port is really a catch,..

now the price is hmm.gif

In your Opinion, which router which can support 3G USB Modem which is Value for Money and is DDWRT friendly (free licence DDWRT one la ) and is powerful enough ?

How do u come to the conclusion that 1043ND is underpower, Output = 2A ?
*
the 1043ND usb port have under power issue,

not the mobo in router, the usb port issue,.

that's why strongly not suggested notworthy.gif

I actually don't feel it too but the USB cannot drive my modem properly, easily D/C compared to MR3420 or PC

P/S mine is 1043ND V1.8

can always consider 4300 for sure brows.gif

I'll check what version is mine tonight. Have you tested it with the USB Y-cable to supply more power to the modem like Chuah was using last time? If it's the same, it might not be power issue already. tongue.gif

Sell it cheap cheap to me if you intend to let go.  whistling.gif

laugh.gif cheap cheap

get 4300 and see brows.gif

should be a lot better than 1043ND tongue.gif

just share with you something weird.

as you know i just bought a powerful fan and manage to keep both the modem and router at room temperature.

somehow, i found that when the speed are lower (1-3mbps)when i on the fan, and higher (5-10mbps) when i turn the fan off.

not sure whether is coincidence or what....... is that possible ?
*
nope, that's quite impossible,

just make sure the router + modem is not been moved or vibrate shifted a bit,.

u need to find perfect spot notworthy.gif

since v2 had released , should I get it rather than v1 ? any known issue on v2 ?

well it is up to personal choices,

some user feed back V2 is barely even warm, so temperature wise confirm is winner

Found out the best Setup in my area is like this :
i open the router top cover, upside down it on top of aluminium cooler pad and open the sim card cover make sure either the antenna hole or memory card slot facing down on cooler pad
and speed been 15~17Mbps stable thumbup.gif
(tried open ZTE MF680 both cover but speed & signal is decrease remendous )

Combination : ZTE MF680 ( tweaked 33tx ) + TL-MR3420 with Openwrt( top cover open upside down )

[attachmentid=3145585]

i guess it is due to the cooler pad aluminium reflecting signal for the ZTE MF680
so using the powerful fan wont decrease connection speed

hi all

just bought a new mr3420 just now
user posted image
can only start use it tonight, when i got back home. got this modem from 2008, hopefully it works.
user posted image

some Question:
1. the E372 that comes with the maxis broadband... is that locked or unlocked?
2. If locked will it still work with the router?
*
1 ) E372 maxis set is Locked -> to maxis sim only

2) lock modem of course can use with any 3G router as long as the sim card is correct ISP

thanks for the clarification  smile.gif

also noticed the difference between v1 and v2.. where v1 have the QSS button, v2 don't hmm.gif
*
well u practically doesn't need the QSS button much anyway,..

V2 running less heat much cooler, dialing modem also faster too,

if u are using V2, u can consider upgrade your usb modem notworthy.gif

tp-link TD-W8968 this modem can use 3g modem?
Tp Link TL-MR3420 is modem router or router only?
*
tp-link TD-W8968 = 300Mbps Wireless N USB ADSL2+ Modem Router, the tp link stock firmware come with it dont support 3G with the usb port

tp-link TD-W8968 = 3G router, u need to plug in your own 3G usb modem into it
