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

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....

Bro, still using UM?

I have some kangtau , PM me if interested

It turned off because the power supplied to the modem is weak, a USB3.0 cable should rectify it

V2 have better power distribution and thats why the V2 mobo is not hot as the required power is channel onto the usb connector and not "wasted" on the mobo to generate unwanted heat

V2 users, pls dun upgrade your Factory Shipped FW

Your Panel got struck by Lightning?

How come the Huawei dun get fried but instead your Router gets it?

Can your panel still be able to use anymore?

I guess Chuah is lololuen now as he too have his Panel facing outside and higher than yours too.

You already hammer the bracket outside of your Window, how come the change of mind?

Btw, the antenna have some sort of capacitor rite?

Thanks

OpenWRT and DDWRT wont give you Higher Speed.

These 2 enhanced FW for Routers will only give you WiFi Freedom and Stability, hence a speedtest showing Highspeed does not necessary Guarantee High Speed for everyone. Chuah's case is different cause he live in an area that can Max out on his QoS of 16000/8640 due to several reasons, namely

1) His proximity to a FEW MAXIS TOWERS there

2) The density of users there, maybe those pipu there dun use M3G internet, hence he sapu all the Bandwidth.

3) The height of his Unit in his Apartment

4) Clear line of sight of the Towers.

5) I believe the area around Maxis Flagship Building, KLCC area have excellent signal but users there complained they dun get good speed even the QoS is 42000/8640 , Why ? simple, Users Density so is HIGH, everyone is fighting for Bandwidth, hench they got sucky speed.

If you guys wan Stronger WiFi and Better Stability on your connection, try the 2 routers trick which i mooted. Even Chuah is using it now. Like one of you guys mentioned before, using 2 Routers is like running a Dual Core processor compared to a Single Router. It does helps on the power distribution of the routers. One router to do the job of dialing of the modem and connection and another router to do the channeling of the signal for usage, LAN or WiFi.

I believe a third factor which might help to get the best out of the setup, that is to utilise Gigabit LAN ports or Switches.
Best combo is Router A( Gigabit LAN port present) dial in > Router B ( also Gigabit LAN port present ) > LAN out to Gigabit Switch ~ mutiple pcs /WiFi out . The dial in router should be OpenWRT and router B should be DDWRT.
It was said that DDWRT have issues with dial into 3G USB modems, so we have to use a OpenWRT router to do the dial job. DDWRT have better management, so we will use it to manage the second router.

Chuah, the ball is at your feet now. Prove to us that you a C7 or Messi now.

Now MR3420 V2 is widely available at LYP stores at rm83.00 before haggling, maybe rm79 after discount.

And MikroTik is also available at some stores shelves already.

I was there yesterday.

If we dun upgrade any FW on V2 and use only stock FW that came with the V2, will the signal percentage shows 0% on E398?

Morale of the story

Use the V2 on Default FW that was shipped from China, until some Guinea Khinzir tested alrite

If you panai panai Upgrade to the latest ( when you hands are itchy itchy ) you will connect slower and the fooking signal will shows 0%

My V2 is still virgin from the Factory, hence my MF680/E372 can connect in less than 59secs

but signal still shows 0% for E372 rite ?

MF680 shows 0% also ?

I mean after upgraded to latest FW.

BTW, UM is selling V2 for rm89 and LYP is selling between rm79~rm83

I been using this on my router, i duno yours supports it

My surfing experience is much smoother using it.

Yes, my setup is E372+MR3420 (disable WiFi ) LAN > Dlink (DDWRT) ( use WiFi only )

Try Tomato FW bro, its better than DDWRT, not to mention OpenWRT

a pic tells a thousand words

Its because you doesn't knoe how to flash a DDWRT router, so i have to buy one ~ i actually bought 3# DDWRT flashed router for usage at different locations 2 on Maxis and one on YES Zoom. I dun like OpenWRT as its not as user friendly as a DDWRT router...........Once you try a DDWRT, you would divorce the OpenWRT. But now i am aiming for TomatoUSB FW

Which version of the TomatoUSB are you using?

I read this is good ~ TomatoUSB K26 AIO. File size = 8MB .. It is full version . RT-N16 flash memory is 32MB .. It include QOS, USB, VPN and others ~ pls share, thanks
