This might sound like a repetitive question but if i wan a portable solution for my 3g, i should be looking at tl-mr3040 and hame apr-01 right?
and if i not portable then tl-mr3420 is the best right?
Lets say i insist on having them portable which of the 3040 or hame is a better choice in terms or heat dissipation, battery longevity (eg for 2 device) ?
I am reading different stuff about the 3040 as ppl in this forum reporting that it wont work if u remove the battery but i read a review that says u could power it through the ac without the battery. Care to clarify on this?
well there is 2 model, TL-MR3040 and TL-MR11U ( with 2000mAh )
MR11u only sold in mainland china/hongkong ( which u can get via Taobao as well )
and so far i tested both model in Version 2, both is working fine without any battery inside and power on via AC,..
well for heat issue, i guess anything that can open and remove battery with removable back cover is always better in heat dissipation, right ?
i am using MR11u with battery and back cover remove,...
for modem support list, mr3040/mr11u i think quite flexible like mr3240, at least u could add modem bin file into it,..
for the tplink stock firmware wise, u can always opt for openwrt too,.. if u dont like the stock firmware
although Hame is nice gadget with power bank function but the built in battery is a drawback,.. anything with built in battery after long time using battery life will be shorten,.. no matter with the auto cut off power circuit built in or not,.. if u are a little bit more to mobile than staying home usage,. it is really good as u can take out the battery and power it via any usb port/ac as well/power bank/computer...
( above just my personal opinion )
peace out
