This is ultimately poisonous thumbup.gif

The seamless reconnection is what attracts me as usual 3G geek would reboot a thousand of time to get the best IP range laugh.gif

Next is the WiFi wub.gif

Significant improvement:
Seamless reconnection and fast modem recognition
WiFi bug fixed
Stability boosted
Lower operating temperature

as you can see , with panel attached, the RSSI improved quite significant @ -61dBm , and my last post on 3420's signal strength is about 77% , without panel , my RSSI only -81dBm and signal strength is about 45%

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.

OpenWRT known for forcing modem to Auto Band which causing it to connect to a 900 Mhz tower which would slow down quite significantly

Suggest chuah sifu to put at first post. Huawei E372 or any 900Mhz modem users are warned tongue.gif

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  thumbup.gif

I tested MR3420 V1 and WR1043ND ( both shared the same log-in IP of 192.168.1.1)  , this wont work  doh.gif

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  brows.gif
[attachmentid=3171135]

@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......

Your router is running DD-WRT r14896 which is extremely old sweat.gif

It is very easy to upgrade actually, just upload something like a usual firmware upgrade

I already explained very clearly using MR3420+MF680 as a 3G source, you still can't read me?  sweat.gif

I guess i have to find this to plug it into my DDWRT's flashed Router's WAN port to see if it supports it.

LAN male to USB female adaptor

Modem on one end and WAN plug on the other, you never knoe DDWRT dun support tilll you tried.......

Didn't support sweat.gif
