E355 connection protocol is very different
Might never get supported

i was wondering if i change the default 3dBi to higher dBi will give better wifi signal? because im using ipad mirroring to apple tv, freeze most of the time. so thinking if i change the antenna will improve this?
*
Increase the transmit power
Max I recommend 5dbi higher than that signal spread spectrum is too narrow

I see. Thanks for the info.

Anyone here have experience dealing directly with TP-Link centre at Lowyat? Is it really 1-to-1?

Is it RAM or CPU issue?

edit: Uh! Never mind. Just re-read you mentioning heat issue with your 3420 blush.gif

I don't care about heat if it doesn't affect performance
The problem is poor wifi performance which keep D/C, open the casing and found out really bad wifi cable soldering.

I've done some *unscientific* tests a while back and found that heat does affect performance.  hmm.gif

I used to place the modem horizontally (as per default) and it gets very hot. Now I place it vertically and the heat was significantly reduced which lead to getting about 1mbps higher than usual  smile.gif
*
Heat does affect performance but my MR3420 is way too serious
1043ND 24/7 when using Streamyx, extremely stable and high speed, now still testing 1043ND with 3G and its very satisfying until now

which type or open wrt firmware that really suitable for MR3420. i read from their site but i'm not really understand step by step to flash the firmware. Compare to ddwrt, its instruction very clear for me...coz i'm not really good in technical work huhuhuhuhu

If you don't familiar with commanding don't try OpenWRT
5 minutes of commanding works required
OpenWRT aren't very user friendly

Download here:

Don't go for Backfire since the failsafe is not working. If something goes you'll brick your router. Better stick with Trunk build. But trunk does not come with Luci interface pre-installed and you need to install it manually.

No choice, that guy know nothing about commanding

No problem. I have one openwrt router set up as a file server/torrent server. Save money on electricity compared to leaving normal PC online 24/7 since a router only uses small amount of power.

My next project probably to set up one as a PBX server using Asterisk package in openwrt. Dunno when yet since other stuff always come up whenever I want to start messing with it.

Did you have any suggstions for a direct download script except wget since transmission only works with torrent

Heat dissipation seem worst than V1 but hopefully new PCB design is better

Very nice design but I dont think the modem will sit upright

Juts my 2 cent biggrin.gif

USB port moved to the side too
