oo.. i'll feed my internet addiction 1st.. later i try sifu...
thanks..

something weird happened to my 680 >>> I could get better speed with low signal strength 38% vs 63% in 3420 stock firmware . Now I directly plug in 680 to pc and use mdma , again the RSSI with -61dBm my speed is 6Mpbs , but when I re-positioned 680 with RSSI -83dBm , I could easily hit > 11Mbps , both tested with purple lit on , so confusing

it is very obvious that lower RSSI signal = different base station/towers,

that's why u get different speed

thanks sifu chuachs.. saved my modem.. lol.. my e372 is acting strange.. haha

does it worked ?

i guess it works right ? can recognize it now fast and connected fast ?

yup.. connect fast.. onli speed is slow.. my celturtlecom.. haha

thanks sifu...

gonna try openwrt on mr 3020

yea, glad it dial fast, speed wise depends on base station in your area which there is nothing we can do

good luck on flashing MR3020

thx for replying sir , so what is your take in this case ? good rssi with low speed or mediocre rssi with good speed ?

Hi, I am using the TL-MR3420 V2 + E372 with 3 of my friends connected via wifi. Is it possible to chat or send message to them via the TL-MR3420 connection?

Thanks.

guys, today my MR3420 V1 totally no response on my modems, wat could be the problem, use LAN connect to PC , key in 192.168.1.1 , no response at all

it was all okay as i still use it to LAN OUT ONLY to WR1043ND yesterday, how to reset the router?

thanks

I assume there was a hole for reset at the back right

What came out when ipconfig @ CMD

i guess i knoe the reason why now

i reset my pc , it is okay now

i was using this MR3420 V1 to LAN out to TD8968 , I guess there was a conflict with 192.168.1.1 as both shared the same log in IP........

I have used MR3420 with MR3420 V2 , no conflict as V1 is 192.168.1.1 and V2 192.168.0.1

but these 2 MR3420 V1 and TD8968 shared the same IP

even Mr3420 V1 or V2 dun conflict with HW550 cause HW550 IP is 192.168.2.1

HW550.. its time for u to try using triple router!

so if compare with MF3420 V1 and V2?

does it mean V2 more lower ping and more higher download compare with V1 (openWrt)

For user who using v2, don't upgrade to latest newest firmware on tplink websites. That latest firmware is super duper buggy. So bug until the web gui haywire and not able to dial connection to e372 modem. I finally flash it back to original version firmware and now it worked fast good like it should

What i have in mind now

MF680 >HW550> LAN~ WR1043ND > LAN~Gigabit Switch > LAN Linksys DDWRT > WiFi

Why I WR1043ND > LAN~Gigabit Switch > LAN Linksys DDWRT, because all these 3 devices support Gigabit data transfer

Added on November 21, 2012, 5:02 pmSometimes somehow our connection is very good BUT our devices are not translating those good speed onto our pc.

We have to use the best means to maximise it.

How to do it depends on you and your devices, and having said so, i am getting stuff like Car6E Cable, USB3.0 extension cable, Panel Antenna, Gigabit Switch, DDWRT flashed Routers to test out the ultimate combination.

your idea won't work. I can confirm that. More router = more node. More node = more packet lost . even i try 1 and 2 router combo. 1 router combo i get the best speed. 2 router combo i get the most stable speed but not the best speed.

using MF680 >HW550> LAN~ WR1043ND > WiFi Only



take2, after some interval



normally with one router , it max out at 6~7Mbps here ( at this time )



i am now waiting for some more devices (toys, will let you knoe the result on Sat )
