QUOTE(kenjixx @ Jul 2 2012, 02:58 PM) Not the end of the world if you do brick it.It just means more work (hardware mod) to unbrick it that's all. You can also use alternate firmware on the 3420. I was thinking of the 1043 over the 3420 because of the gigabit LAN and three antennas hence my original question. Is there any real gain with three antennas over two on the 3420? |

QUOTE(HexPhoenix @ Jul 3 2012, 02:24 PM) hi Product link?wanna ask you guys opinion. i'm already planning to buy Tl-MR3420 + some cooling fan. Yet, I also wanna buy an Wifi Signal Amplifier to amplify MR3420's signal up to 1KM radius. Since install it will bring me more hassle, I thought to give this (Wifi Amplifier) a go. The one i'm gonna purchase is JJCorp brand, so I thought want to ask some opinion, whether is there anybody have doing the same. Thanks. Also, do you need 1KM radius or just 1KM direct point-to-point link? |

QUOTE(HexPhoenix @ Jul 3 2012, 03:19 PM) 1KM radius. Cater about 10-30 people, high stressed condition (all massdownloading/youtube/etc) Not familiar with the product but it looks like other similar signal amplifiers.Here is the link: JJ24BTB or something like this. 10-30 users is a lot for heavy downloading. Do you have enough bandwidth? Lastly, you have to take into account your surroundings. Are there buildings or trees between you and the end-users? Are you in a low lying area? The 1KM radius is only in open space. Don't forget rain will also degrade your signal strength too. |

QUOTE(HexPhoenix @ Jul 5 2012, 12:27 AM) i planned so that about at max 10 PCs/laptops. Another maybe 20-30 smartphones. Have you considered putting your AP across from the five buildings so that you blast the signal through the front of the buildings?Bandwidth and quota is never a problem. But I now still not very sure how well wifi signal amplifier works. If its only can expand through at max 100m, I don't mind as long the signal is strong enough to penetrate building. I have 5 buildings, 3 storey each, side by side, and I want to put this at the highest position, (3rd storey). The signal must penetrate all rooms in all buildings listed. Since I thought 1KM is VERY strong signal, so definitely it can penetrate these building. Wireless repeaters is quite a cost for me, plus there will be technical problems if I want to install it in many locations due to different ownership of those houses. You also want QOS so that the user with the strongest signal don't suck up all the bandwidth. |

QUOTE(digilife @ Jul 8 2012, 01:10 PM) can, I tried it with a 5meter USB2.0 cable and a 3meter USB3.0 cable before But still limited in speed and current by port.try to buy USB3.0 cable as it provide more electric current and faster data transfer.... with the USB3.0 cable, i can connect it directly to my mr3420 to get better reception on my E372... |

Does the TL-MR3420 have MIMO?
The TP-Link doesn't mention it but the user manual does (page 10). User Guide |

QUOTE(ibnuasad @ Jul 29 2012, 09:39 PM) I've done some *unscientific* tests a while back and found that heat does affect performance. Is that wired or wireless speed?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 |

Is there any hardware difference between V1 and V2 or is it just firmware and cosmetics?

If it's just firmware, then give me the old square box design any time.

Is the improved speed for mobile or wired broadband?
Not clear there. |
