bro, i'm from KK too, will get my connection soon..which area do you live in? What's your fastest speedtest?

Anyone can help me buy a brand new MR3420 and flashed it with OpenWRT? I'm willing to pay any reasonable offered price to me

Guys, if TL-WR1043ND vs TL-MR3420, which 1 performance win in terms of internet speed? Need to know so that I can place order, can't wait to buy and get it next week.

Ok.,then i consider MR3420..which version of MR3420 should i go for? V1, V1.3 or V2?

bought supercharged MF680 from blacktubi and here are my best ST results..purple LED light all the way

Highest DL speed:


Highest UL speed:


most of the time ST download speed hovering around 7 to 8 Mbps.

Current settings:
Signal power = 26TX
No cooling.
Connected to Enhanced USB port with max 500ma.
Without external antenna.
Using "3" Connect Manager
APN = maxisbb
DNS = 8.8.8.8, 4.4.4.4
RSSI in MDMA = -77db

On the other hand, I also have the 3G Yagi antenna (bought from coolstore). The difference is improvement in RSSI by 5db. ST results seems like no change. I wish I have a panel antenna to try out

By the way, is there anyway that I can check the QoS of the Tower and my simcard? MF680 cannot do that? I have tried checking QXDM, but no info shown under WCDMA Nas QoS

same dealer as mine?

KK, Sabah

i know 4.4.4.4 used to be google's dns server..maybe not now anymore..thx for informing me

I need some confirmation here..I'm now very new to 3G connection as well as the apps/settings associated with it, previously spent all the time with streamyx 1mbps line

Are my settings below correct?

i've received my MR-3420 today and here's my ST (MF680 without Yagi),



still cannot get high speed 2x Mbps to 3x Mbps..can i ask Maxis to open up or set the QoS of the base station to 42000? as u guys know, Maxis has rolled out their new data plans in which no matter which package u have applied for, the speed is 42Mbps..is this a good reason for me to tell them to change the QoS? no matter what I did as in direct USB plug in (enhanced port), use Yagi or use MR-3420, I'm still unable to get high DL speeds

might still have chances as I have the Cell IDs to tell them, maybe their normal CS staff will forward that message to their technician.

That's the best ST I have obtained during non-peak times (3AM in the morning). If during peak times, most also can get is 7Mpbs.

Regarding the TX33 tweak, if not mistaken the performance dropped, but that was tested (direct USB plugin) before I got the MR-3420. I'll try again later the TX33 with MR-3420.

i've just tried TX33 with MR3420..conclusion is i'll still stick to TX26..TX33 doesn't feel right, unstable and low speed

Mine no info on QoS in QXDM..I'm using MF680, what's the prob?

how about the new wireless broadband packages advertised by Maxis? all 42Mbps speed advertised..then for sure they must set all their tower or base station to 42000 QoS? hehe

but still, if the QoS of the tower remains capped, then those who subscribed to those postpaid broadband will feel cheated..

I live very near the city..very high density area and only a few minutes away from the middle of city. cannot lah 8640 QoS, at least city needs 42000 QoS

i still not satisfied with my speed..i want at least 20Mbps, now only can get half of it..thinking to get 2nd line and combine the speed

i don't get it..from your statement, it seems that you're saying that 1 tower can only provide fast speed to 1 simcard, while other people who are connected to the same tower slow speed?

Just now reposition my router and antenna..here's my setup

MR3420 v1.3 + MF680 (supercharged TX26)


Yagi 3G Antenna hanging on window, aiming nearest base station approximately 200m away


MF680 connected to Yagi antenna using TS9 converter


Speedtest result with Yagi on


Ping test to Google


Blacktubi, i want to try Panel Antenna!

just tried some comparison test on 100MB download file, no disconnection/renewal of IP address as I directly remove the TS9 converter for test 2)
1) With Yagi - Time completion 1:43.0
2) Without Yagi - Time completion 1:43.4

i admire your speed..my speed no big difference between peak vs non-peak..if non-peak, might only be an extra of 1Mbps+

lol..i just main agak-agak only the aiming cos i know that direction is the nearest base station..haha..remember PM me how to aim ..btw, have you tried your MF680 with Panel / Yagi antenna?

just gone back home from work, my speed at this hour without Yagi
