Today I flash MR3420 to OpenWRT and I am amazed with the 3G connection. 3G completed the connection within 52s.



Speed is good too.





However, this release of OpenWRT was too old and the WiFi interface is buggy. Notebook and phone can see it but unable to connect.

recently my MR3420 behave strangely, internet speed never exceed 3Mbps, mostly max out at 2Mbps

frustrated, done a FW upgrade

and after the upgrade, speed increased tremendously

but i only upgrade the FW and din do Factory Default and Reboot to use back my previous settings

ehm i think you have switched your "quote" between latest firmware and previous firmware am i right?

the new one you can get from tp link singapore

which quote are u referring to?

i got it from the TP Link site, use MR3420, not MR3220 as a forumer mentioned not to use a FW on different Hardware........

so it just refresh the firmware ?

i mean.. the one that you colored red in your picture. 110617 should be newer version of firmware.

no, the Rel.43954n is the latest in the website, u go and see yourself

the top one marked with the latest FW

oh. i thought you download from singapore site. because the latest one there is 110617. btw, i have tried the latest 110418 from tp link .com.. it is not as good as 110617 that im using right now. this one rarely disconnected from internet. stays connected quite long

Latest firmware at TP-Link Malaysia also 110617.

Thanks for your link,

just updated first post

You should censored/cover the MAC address. It's like your IC number.

thanks for the kind advice

i have intermittent connectivity on wireless...currently using ch6, what other channels are recommended?

I'm not sure but channel 6 and wireless b/g works well for months.

Also, MTU might help. How to determine your optimum MTU settings? Read here: http://www.dslreports.com/faq/5793

Change the max idle time to 0. Go to http://192.168.1.1 page then navigate to Network and collapse the branch out to 3G. From there, you can see it under Connection mode.

I started with MTU, then set the max idle time but still having on and off connection loss on my iPad. Then Googled and found out Channel 6 is the best. Tried and works flawlessly.

This is where I usually get latest compiled version of Openwrt Trunk build: http://dss-international.org/openwrt/firmw...runk/unleashed/

Currently at kernel 3.2.x

Latest TL-MR3420 firmware is doing a lot better job, dialing E353 modem faster than old firmware

and wireless is much stable even though on auto channel

meaning, no Open WRT as for now?



btw, signal is low even on a Icon505M, but MF600 do the job well

Icon505M tends to fall back to GPRS, green light but MF600 keep constant on HSDPA(mvpn-ing)........

alaaaaa.... both tp-link malaysia n singapore is down?
i cant go the website just now

Looks like I'm not alone, I cannot access since the first day I bought this router.
Others can.
I hide my proxy, then can access already.

all these while u are using proxy?

which proxy are u using?

fast or not?

thanks
