one thing different is using the stock firmware on Auto channel, it will auto switch to channel which less interference channel for you,..

but on rooter wise, it didnt,.. no matter how many time i reboot it always stuck at same channel

That seems to be the case.

I'd rather do it manually.

inSSIDer shows exactly what is happening.

If you have neighbouring interfering channels, pick the channel with the lowest level and camp right on top of it, for the lowest interference.

PS the LUCI interface is selectable in recent versions and will swap to the one I displayed in the next release I think.

Change it manually by going to System->System->Language and Style and changing the Design. It won't happen until you reboot the router after you save the change.

Huntsman 2013-06-16a is released.

The long awaited SMS messaging arrives. Network Status information is now only active when visiting the Network Status page. The modem is only sent signal commands when you are on the Network Status page and there is a delay while the data is gathered when you first go to the page. This eases the load on the modem and the possibility of modem communication conflicts. Enjoy!

Notes:
The SMS feature may not work correctly for all SIMs and modems. Please advise any SMS bug reports. To make flash RAM room for the SMS feature 4Mb routers only have IPv4 support in this version. 8Mb still support IPv6.

Current reported issues with this release:
Luci may lock up "problem loading page", but internet connection is fine. It appears to be a consequence of OpenWRT Version R36713. A fix is available and a new release is on the way shortly (2013-06-17).

Of Modems and Men - http://ofmodemsandmen.com/index.html

Downloaded 2013-06-16a for MR3420 and 1043ND

For 1043ND, onced flashed , its 2013-06-16a as expected.

But for MR3420 even though you flashed the newly downloaded file, its shows in the interface that it is 2013-06-03 although you have the sms feature

i no like the new interface, trying to change it at >Language and Style wont change it back to old interface.

Yes I recollect DM saying this was missing.

It'll be back in the next ROOter release ... which will be very soon.

Well spotted. I'll let the boss know.

ROOter firmware packs everything in the 4MB flash memory so that users need no extra hard works in order to use high speed 3G/4G internet out-of-the-box. Or, you can flash the vanilla OpenWRT image, which left users with over 1MB+ space on the JFFS2 partition, but require some hard works on the users' side, in order to get it working. Your choice.


Nice observation!

I think this could be due to how wear leveling, journaling and compression in actions on the JFFS2 file system, where OpenWRT Linux writes its configuration data on (/etc/config).

The Flash Memory used on the router is a kind of Memory Technology Device (MTD), which is a totally different beasts than the traditional magnetic storage we're familiar with. It has limited write cycles (usually a few thousand to 10,000+ writes per block). It requires special file system support in order to use it efficiently, and also to extend it's working life-span.

When users "save" their "settings", configuration data is written to the JFFS2 partition, where "old" data is deleted, and "new" data is written to different blocks. The "deleted" blocks are not actually deleted but being marked as "invalid". That's why users will see a decrease in space over time, due to wear leveling and journaling. But after a reboot, the space is claimed back, where some "recycling" mechanism kicks in.

I'm no Linux guru though. This is just my hypothesis based on my understanding of information on the Internet. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I already survey about this router. I think new asus router - RT-N66U is better performance and powerful than RT-N16. It Nvram can go up to 64K. I already buy Rt-n16. I must buy RT-N66U cause it can support all package i want(openvpn,etc)without support flash drive to jffs. Who want buy my RT-N16?hehehe...

If there is Proton Preve and Proton Saga, would you go for Saga if your pocket can afford a Preve ?

But If you have the Bang in your pocket , go for Draytek 2130n

Draytek 2130n

so overkill for a 3G connection

who cares when you have the Bang of the Bucks

moreover its Fibre Proof too and Maxis LTE will only be a backup only because Fibre is more stable than LTE when Ah bengs and Ah lians start using LTE

Nice explanation sir.
Really help me to understand how this router worked.
By the way, of coz I'm a satisfied user of Huntsman.
Just need an explanation from someone expert only (just like u did).
TQ

malaysia system no matte fibre, ADSL, 3G 4G, CDMA, all wont be stable,.. LOL,.

the newesr huntsman seems to be unstable.. having disconnection every 10-20 minutes..
using zte mf680, anybody else?

Fine on MF820D , Network Problem kot

Maybe... but older one is more stable.. ppp method no disconnect at all.. probably usb power issues...

So PPP connect is stable



btw, Wahroonga i observed that my 1043ND also shows this on HM 2013-03-16a

Hey guys.
Just curious is it possible to use e398 + lte sim card with tlmr-3420 v1.2 stock firmware ?
Will the tp link be the bottleneck for everything ?

If yes, can I know how to maximize the lte speed with using bac the 3420 v1.2 instead of buying the v2 ?

Hope all sifus can help me out
