Nope, he got those Homeplug WiFi extender series

guess if the wifi really needed for handheld device then no choices,

otherwise home plug lan cable series would do a better job though

Hmm.. I've been following this thread since V1, I think this thread worth to be post at http://forum.lowyat.net/Hardware

Anyone?

oh u pairing it with a wifi extender version,..

now i get it

but that wifi extender spread wifi signal weak though

yeah is weak but good enough for ipad and iphone within 5-8 meter~ outside my room cover by 3420~

pc using LAN connection~~~

well if u have handheld device then of course u need it,..

it best solution that pc can still use lan and handheld device all can wifi too,.

speed should be as good as lan cable direct to mr3420 right with these home plug ?

my setup combination still stable
but signal 0% & DNS both bug
( as i am using google dns )

Poisoned by so many router combinations. Will have to find time to dig up my old Aztech routers from the streamyx days...see got OpenWRT support or not If can support, will try to setup a wifi network for whole house + print server package addon

u get poison too from dual router setup ?
yea it works great and prety convenien when second router is openwrt support, can add packages addon on what u need,..

i tot you dial-in using OpenWRT while you have been hammering me that i dun dial in using a DDWRT router ?

Chuah, you knew all the while that DDWRT have issues with 3G and yet you get butthurt that i dun dial in using it

Same as my setup, you used Mr3420 V2 to dial in , then u used a Mr3420 with OpenWRT to rout out.......

My difference is now i used a HW550 to dial in then LAN out to a DDWRT to do routing,

This is my second DDWRT flashed router, an older version with less memory and a slower CPU but the connection is stable as a rock, called, Linksys WRT54G/GL/GS.

This is my speedtest b4 a test download ( bull one la, not accurate at all, so dun trust Speedtest results )

The tower/base stn is > 2km from my place ( Blacktubi checked it for me ady ) RSSI=93dBm.



And this is the real download data/stats.





I need some sifu help ( bottom pics), pls scroll to the bottom part where i Red Arrow the part " Active IP Connections = 50"

What does it mean, as i noticed that the figure change every now and then sometimes the value go as high as 130.

Does it mean that there are 50 users using Maxis on that tower to go online?

the Active Connections increased so much after 9am



now 10.27am, lagi banyak

ping is more stable.
previously speed test, 50% chance i get 40-60ms, 50% chances about 60-200ms.
now 90% 40-50ms, 10% 50-200ms (3G isnt as stable as FO connection, deal with it)

for the speed, dont hope too much.
previously 50% chances i get bet 5-8mbps, 30% will get either 3-5mbps or 8-12mbps, sometime gone crazy 20% chances will get about 1-3mbps or 12-18mbps.
now 60% chances i get 6-10mbps, 30% about 3-6mbps or 10-12mbps, 10% below 3mbps or above 12mbps.


i hardly see huge improve only about 10-20%, the speed affected by many issue, signal strength only 1 of its. specially when my signal strength already 60% without antenna, with antenna it will improve to 80% but the speed wont be improve that much.

however if without antenna the signal strength is below 40%, i believe the antenna will bring significant results.

not sure what it is...
last time i use this DDWRT on my 3020 i did not even pay attention on this
it look like it can detect how many connection connected to a tower
but i not sure it is detect total connection to the tower...

by the way..DDWRT is more user friendly compare to open wrt..
i still looking for DDWRT support for my TL 3420

i hearsay that DDWRT have issues with 3G on "direct dial-in usage" meaning any 3G router , if flashed into DDWRT have some issues........and thats why i use a Default FW MR3420 to dial-in than LAN out to my DDWRT flashed router.

Yes, DDWRT have more options to play play....
