QUOTE(blacktubi @ Nov 20 2012, 12:13 AM) Congratulations for V2 so far after so many combination i try since afternoon 1pm my V2 arrive with poslaju,And V2 reviews best combo so far : Panel -> ZTE MF680 -> TL-MR3420 V1 ( openwrt ) -> lan cable -> TL-MR3420 V2 -> wifi/lan to computer/laptop/phone wifi, wireless G or wireless N in TL_MR3420 V2 is totally fine, 0% bug at all but one thing i notice that, due to i test a few combination just now, so need to plug / unplug usb modem often a few time, after a while the V2 become  able to recogise as fast as reboot done 100% but not able to dial the connection,...i did upgrade from TL-MR3420_V2_120703 ( original firmware come with it ) to -> TL-MR3420_V2_120905 So now i will revert it back to try TL-MR3420_V2_120703 whether will be become buggy or not after a few time plug/unplug,..for my V1 with openwrt, this issue didnt happen at all, i can plug/unplug as many time as i want and it will still recognize fast and dial connection fast,.. the V2 can recognize your usb modem in one second after reboot 100% complete and dial the connection in next seconds in normal condition ,  |

New Combo ( which working best )
Panel Antenna -> TS-9 convertor -> ZTZE MF680 -> TL-MR3420 V1 ( Openwrt / wifi off )-> Lan cable -> TL-MR3420 V2 ( tp link stock firmware ) -> Wireless -> laptop ( window xp ) end result stable speed 1.7~1.79MB/s with super Lowest ping ever ( normally when heavy DL running in IDM my ping is 300~500ms ) Before only single router , look at the ping [attachmentid=3165709] After using best combo , look at the ping [attachmentid=3165704] This post has been edited by chuahcs79: Nov 20 2012, 02:31 PM |

This is easier way to upgrade Tools Needed 1) MR3420 2) 2nd Router + 3G Modem This is my step : - 1) Login Standard Firmware And Upgrade Openwrt Firmware. Then Reboot And Set Router Password (Dont Plug Any Network cable From Router No 2) 2) Plug Network Cable From 2nd Router with 3G Modem to MR3420 WAN Port 3) Ping 8.8.8.8 1st. When Internet Available (Ping Got Reply) ,Then Run Putty and Go to 192.168.1.1 4) Copy Paste this into Putty 1st Step opkg update 2nd Step opkg install chat comgt kmod-usb-acm kmod-usb-serial kmod-usb-serial-option kmod-usb-uhci libusb luci-proto-3g mini-sendmail usb-modeswitch usb-modeswitch-data kmod-usb2 kmod-usb-ohci kmod-usb-serial-wwan 5) Reboot And Login 6) Go To Network>Interface>Edit WAN 7) Switch Protocol And Choose UMTS/GORS/EV-DO and Fill-up APN & Others. 8) Setting WIFI ETC and Reboot Again 9) Use |

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

QUOTE(chuahcs79 @ Nov 21 2012, 04:44 PM) 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 so dont use the latest one? means use the one before it? 120905 is the latest.. so use the 120703 instead? PM me how to flash please thanks.. newbie here |

QUOTE(chuahcs79 @ Nov 21 2012, 01:51 AM) it is very obvious that lower RSSI signal = different base station/towers, Sifu , another test proven that the best for my 680 is leave it untreated .that's why u get different speed the last 3 rows result is tested with "680 + panel + mdma @ -61dBm" vs the top 3 rows with "680 + mdma @ -81dBm" ( I dismantled the panel ) >> without panel and inferior dBm , my speed improved ~40% Attached thumbnail(s)

Beware of OpenWRT, as it will force your modem to auto band
Modem is configured to connect to the strongest signal during auto band 900Mhz is always stronger in term of signal but lower performance since it is only HSPA+ (NO DC) Therfore, if you plan to use antenna, suggest stay with stock FW or go for V2 which is more stable router |

I've flashed my MR3420 with openwrt two days ago. all went well, but the internet connection seems drops by half. while using stock firmware, I'm able to get download speed between 8 - 9 MB/s. Now seems I only can get between 4.xx MB/s or 5.xx MB/s if lucky. is there any settings that I missed? I followed your guide on first post.
if i revert to stock firmware, the connection seems back to normal. the only tweak i did was egress and ingress bandwidth set to 100000. am using maxis unlimited plan. |

I saw someone did say combine or without combine two router wont make any different, this is true? but in my situation, using Panel antenna ( from blacktubi ) -> CRC9 convertor connector -> V2 ( off wifi ) to dial my E372 maxis handicap added heatsink then Lan out to V1 ( openwrt without install any packages purely DHCP ) then Lan /Wifi out to computer so far my this IP address been stay on : Online Time: 2 day(s) 12:59:56 the reason i use V2 to dial E372 instead of V1 because openwrt will always set Auto band on band config then end up my E372 connect to UMTS900 tower instead of UMTS2100 tower, i did 1 router & 2 router combination: i found out that 2 router combo = much stable than 1 router ( this is my personal experience from my experiment currently )for speed wise, it is all depends on that tower/base station you connected to This post has been edited by chuahcs79: Nov 23 2012, 03:13 PM |

For those of you who wan to use the 2 routers trick, make sure both router dun share the same log in IP
eg: MR3420 V1 log in IP is 192.168.1.1 and MR3420 V2 is 192.168.0.1 , this combo is fine I tested MR3420 V1 and WR1043ND ( both shared the same log-in IP of 192.168.1.1) , this wont work I bought another used DDWRT Flashed Dlink , and it rocks as i use MR3420 V1 to dial in and LAN out into the Dlink (192.168.0.1) to wifi out.......~ this one more Geng as it have 32MB of flash memory , more options to tweak tweak , "damage to my wallet" = rm50 
@Chuah, get one before its too late when everyone knoe how to sapu them them from garage sale....... My second DDWRT router have newer FW compared to the first one...... |

Look at it this way, Your OpenWRT router+modem dial into maxis on a shared power of 1A, which I believe is "under power".

The "oversized modem is AC powered by a 1A adaptor ( converter that convert 240V of Alternate Current (AC) into 12V , 1A of Direct Current(DC). The Dlink utilise it full power (2.5A) to process the Internet signal supported by the DDWRT Enhanced Firmware and release it via WiFi to my laptop. Hence i get a more stable and uniform WiFi signal.........and DDWRT have more options for you to tweak,play and modify although i dun exactly knoe what those extra functions are for |

QUOTE(digilife @ Nov 23 2012, 05:36 PM) For those of you who wan to use the 2 routers trick, make sure both router dun share the same log in IP Your router is running DD-WRT r14896 which is extremely old eg: MR3420 V1 log in IP is 192.168.1.1 and MR3420 V2 is 192.168.0.1 , this combo is fine I tested MR3420 V1 and WR1043ND ( both shared the same log-in IP of 192.168.1.1) , this wont work I bought another used DDWRT Flashed Dlink , and it rocks as i use MR3420 V1 to dial in and LAN out into the Dlink (192.168.0.1) to wifi out.......~ this one more Geng as it have 32MB of flash memory , more options to tweak tweak , "damage to my wallet" = rm50

until your try your DDwrt with 3G, otherwise it prove nothing i try openwrt with 3G in 1 router and 2 router combination before, doesnt make big different, V1 alone also able to handle dialing 3G + wireless G stable too your DDwrt only act as wireless router, if u want wireless router, better get sapido,.. 1000mW (30dBm) High Power Boosts WiFi Signal 10 Times Stronger, way better signal even http://www.sapido.com.tw/EN/productrb1733o_35g.htm Added on November 23, 2012, 7:25 pm QUOTE(digilife @ Nov 23 2012, 07:21 PM) Is it as simple as Upgrade it like TP Link stock FW? no, your move is btw, i wan to poison Chuah with this Super Channel

QUOTE(n0v1ce @ Nov 24 2012, 10:57 AM) how is the before and after speed , ping & etc ? maybe I should put my panel at rooftop like yours 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. |

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 |

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. |

The A6 Dlink dwm-156 is plain bad.. without any inteference, on its own, it loses USB connectivity every 30 mins or so.. The stock v1 MR3420 doesnt recognise it either.
Thankfully the A3 still works okay Anyhow banning Dlink networking products for good Now using the TPLink MA180.. Looks better with all black, a nicer UI connect manager and definitely compatible with the MR3420 Comparing both their reception, i think MA180 is slightly stronger at 64% without any external antenna while DWM156 comes average 40% for me This post has been edited by Erehwon: Dec 1 2012, 08:47 PM |

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'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 Another question, is router has no problem connecting 4-5 users in a time right? |

or u could try this..
QUOTE On many routers, including the Asus WL-500g Premium v1 that I use, you flash an image by disconnecting power, press and hold down the reset button, and connect the power again. Wait a few seconds and the PWR LED will start to blink. Release the reset button. The device will now have a TFTP server running on 192.168.1.1. You’ll have to use a Ethernet cable at this point. Connect it to LAN1-LAN4, not WAN. Configure your local machine on the 192.168.1.x/24 network, for example as 192.168.1.42. The router will use 192.168.1.1. $ tftp 192.168.1.1 tftp> trace Packet tracing on. tftp> binary tftp> put openwrt-brcm-2.4-squashfs.trx sent WRQ <file=openwrt-brcm-2.4-squashfs.trx, mode=octet> received ACK <block=0> sent DATA <block=1, 512 bytes> received ACK <block=1> sent DATA <block=2, 512 bytes> received ACK <block=2> sent DATA <block=3, 512 bytes> received ACK <block=3> sent DATA <block=4, 512 bytes> ... received ACK <block=4742> sent DATA <block=4743, 512 bytes> received ACK <block=4743> sent DATA <block=4744, 512 bytes> received ACK <block=4744> sent DATA <block=4745, 0 bytes> received ACK <block=4745> Sent 2428928 bytes in 6.2 seconds tftp> quit $ Wait one minute and restart the box by disconnecting and reconnecting power. Some documentations claim that the device should restart by itself but I have never seen this happen, no matter how long I wait. tftp |

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. |

1. Huawei E392 or Huawei E398. Which one would you prefer?
2. Does TL-MR3420 v2 support E392? (E392 also seem quite wider so I wonder if it can't be plug on because mr3420 v2 has curve design around the USB port) |

QUOTE(BladeRider88 @ Dec 16 2012, 03:35 PM) I assume your setup is like this 3G Modem + TP-Link MR3420 ---> D-Link DIR-615 if using as DHCP,.. any wireless router will do a good job,. Am i right? i am using my V1 as DHCP while V2 dialing the modem,. no matter V1 with STock tplink firmware or with openwrt firmware in DHCP mode, it really make no different,.
