The A3 DWM156 works with the router. Thats the one with the removable sim tray.

The A6 which i think is in the market now is a piece of garbage. Spent 2 days running back and forth to a PC shop exchanging it.

Finally exchanged for a TP MA180 and had no such stupid issues since. Since both costs RM89, spare yourself the headache, parking and toll I had to pay to test them out and just stick with TPlink

I just went through the process of building images + all 3g usb packages

Backed up all settings before flashing, and then went to the web interface for flashing rclxm9.gif

Congratulations, I have successfully BRICKED my MR3420 v1.2 doh.gif rclxub.gif
Machine gun button failsafe does not work...sys light not even on sweat.gif

Now I have to find a serial cable and some soldering kit to debrick. Will probably do it next month...this month got final exams yawn.gif

I just test with 320U (With Panel Antenna) + V2, I can get Signal Strength 58% compare to MF680 only maximum 48%...

Not yet tested with 2nd external antenna

I am still surveying those dual antenna port modem.

Do you have any difference port 1 vs port 2

Anyway, how was the speed 320U vs MF680 in your case

For this moment only using 1st port of the external antenna as i dont have any 2nd antenna except Yagi but i dont know where to point yagi direct to the tower cause cant see from my house. Also not yet tested with 2nd port.

For consistency much better than MF680. Less Scrambled (Skybox) compare to MF680.

Speed its still remain same.Improve IDM download straight away start 900Kbps++

Thats a good sign biggrin.gif

Since your 320U got 2 antenna port

You plug to the first.
Unplug
Plug to the second to see any difference hmm.gif

Some modem do allocate one antenna to 3G another to LTE

Hello guys. I'm getting Huawei E367 dongle with this MR3420 router.
May I know you any of you guys using the same setup as mine?
I'm wondering is there any compatible issues using E367 with MR3420 ?

yes E367 is compatible with TL-MR3420 V1 & V2 both,

just plug it in and it auto recognize and auto dial

most user here using E372 / ZTE MF680 / Seirra 320U + TL_MR3420 V1 / V2 notworthy.gif

Wow thats a very quick reply. I was wondering why only this model has owner club among all the routers out there laugh.gif
So many people using DC HSPA+ dongle?? I'm only taking E367 since the data plan I signed only support up to HSPA+ and my main priority only low latency, not requiring tat much speed sweat.gif
Another question, is router has no problem connecting 4-5 users in a time right?

this router is able to connect 5 user at same time without any issue

using a DC-HSPA+ device because due to the MDM8220 chipset is better chipset compare to other HSPA+ chipset,

it is not main about the speed, it is also about the signal,

and using a DC-HSPA+ device connect to Dual channel broadcast tower/base station, u able to get 2 channel

meaning whatever DL & UL speed u are getting x 2 time ,. if u are getting 2~4Mbps, u might have chances to get 2~4Mbps x2 with DC-HSPA+ enable device

when upload speed is higher = your ping eventually will be lower too

if that tower/ base station u are connect support DC-HSPA+/broadcasting 2 channel instead of single channel..

DC-HSPA+ is not 42Mbps .. dont get confuse on this ya notworthy.gif

I tried both from Trunk & AA1, seems just fine. Maybe EOF because the download was stuck and did not finish? I got that EOF message when I wget from the VM in my PC. When download to a remote server, works just fine.

This is the AA1 Image Builder that I've successfully downloaded : http://ssh.st0rage.org/~ibnuasad/OpenWrt-I...ux-i486.tar.bz2

upload speed normally get high in 2 situation:

1 ) midnight hour, ( after midnight try reboot your router to get new IP )
2) IP adress ( certain group of IP is higher UL speed or DL speed or lower PIng )
