Hand feeling itchy and decided to get MR3420 v2, after using it for hours, not that warm compare to v1 but once in a while will auto DC and reconnect in seconds..

I do agree with you that the cover is not that warm compare to V1
But my router is place beside window, and the air is quite cool, so for now no need to any additional cooling yet

The wireless bug....
Never encounter it before. .. but I was hoping for that I can play the v2 with open art

yeah..i just tested the Wireless N, files transfer via wireless has been greatly improved...now bridge with my asus router, as E372 connect to V2
Hope to see the OpenWRT and your tutorial soon

Mine is showing 52%

What is your router setup?

I assume your setup is like this 3G Modem + TP-Link MR3420 ---> D-Link DIR-615

Am i right?

My Asus rt-n13U seems having issues with Repeater mode...
I bet it is a firmware issue as my Unifi setup, using D-Link DIR-825 running DD-WRT and act as Client Bridge, no such issue like auto DC

Yeah...i might try to flash DD-WRT to my asus router, anyway, now waiting for the V2 OpenWRT firmware development to be completed

Haha...thanks for the explanation..
Inside ur D-Link, how do setup your WAN connection setup?

Haha..
Doesn't matter, like what Digilife said..A pic tells everything.
Btw, i just get a RT-N16 and going to load Tomato USB to it

Yeah, DD-WRT is damn easy to flash. OpenWRT is tricky but i like it.. I can feel the desire to flash OpenWRT after watching chuah's tutorial.

Haha...i was about to install this into my newly purchased RT-N16

Sorry can't provide the review for Asus RT-N16 with TomatoUSB firmware
Because whenever i save the settings and reboot the router, the router will soft brick
But it is working fine with DD-WRT

Right now the RT-N16 act as repeater bridge for my main 3G router, and i let both router run for 2 days without rebooting, it is still working solid.

Else will try this toy out

But hardware load balancing will be more stable right?

The differences is HUGE!
Draytek is aimed for hardcore user where it has loads of function where mr3420 does not have.

Well, that depends on our beloved Maxis tower and the area. Theoretically it will enhance your surfing experience and draytek routers comes with a solid firmware which promises stable performance. You can check it out in here:

Yeah..i love to "rape" virgin routers..so that they can turn into a better one

Tested the V1 with OpenWRT firmware, no longer facing the heat issuen like the stock firmware, and dial up speed is even faster then i imagine..and No auto DC at all...running smoothly for 11 hours non stop

Haven't decide to put Asus N13U on holiday or not

Keep my finger cross first as i need more time to observe the v1, but at the moment, it is better then the stock firmware

How about you? Decided to get Vigorfly?

My purpose is to learn and study how custom firmware improve/affect the router itself and study what are the differences between these routers till the price gap can be so far apart

So it is up to you to decide to get it or not to get it

p/s: I am a highly addicted flashaholics
