hi, im haing this problem..after i flash my mr3420v2 to huntsman fw, it detect n connect to my e398 but suddnely when i start to surf it diconnect n not reconnect at all..then i reset the router with press the reset button 30 seconds n when toe router is on it didnt recognize my e398...can anyone help me to solve this?look at the screenshot below..

turn off the router , dun use it , let it cool off for abt 60mins, the longer the better ( best is overnight ) dun press any buttons at all

reuse the next day, it will be back to normal on Huntsman again.

the purpose to cool the router overnight is for the chips to erase the memory of the failed connection. happened to mine before

is it because of hot??so weird..

heat is never an issue, i used mine without cooling fan as the magnetic waves interference from the fan''s magnet will kacau the LTE/3G signal

so i just need to rest the router for at least 1 hour n turn it on n thats it?

Aha! This sound like a bug... Wahroonga Farm? Dairyman?
U mean the RAM? Infomation resides in RAM is gone the moment u turn the machine off (after all, that's why it's called volatile momory). Even if this does happen, upon machine boot up, kernel memory test will flip every bits of the RAM 0->1 and 1->0, nothing of the previous session can survive... So, that's unnecessary.

dunnow whether its a bug or what..coz i try to flash back to factory fw also unsuccessful.

Just dont use any Huntsman, i tried the latest 07-08a, after 30 sec it dced and i stay firm that huntsman is useless & unstable. Flashed april 13 or 31st Blackwidow and i am connected since yest without any problem. Fyi i am on tl-mr3420 + e392

dunno why, but i encouter 2 bugs on Huntsman 2013-07-08a, tplink mr3420v2

1)Occasionally the wifi will disconnect and missing. Then when it reappear, i cant connect to it back.
Connection on laptop using lan cable behave normally. Only wifi messed up.

-will revert back to previous firmware, see if problem on my tab or not. But as i remember, last firmware never disconnect and missing.

2)The modem information suddenly messed up, then a few sec will back to normal back.
Kindly refer below.

so u just flash from huntsman to blackwidow or flash to factory fw and flash to blackwidow? hmm..btw ur mr3420 is v1 or v2?

I am still on this, fine and well.




just done a ST via my iPod

+1, any temporary memory will be erase if there is no power source detected by the router. The only things can be kept in the memory is only non-volatile memory, ex: ROM. It doesn't matter how long we turn off the TL-MR3420 even a single minutes will erase all the data in the ram.

+1, same as my android phone, laptop connected well and no issue but my android phone will have disconnection frequently.

just a little information regarding to the 40mhz wifi in hunstman.

Please do not messed up with the setting in 40mhz because 40mhz wifi channel is different with 20mhz. You have to choose your channel correctly which matched the setting 40mhz below/40mhz above else your wifi interface will disabled automatically.

Correct me if im wrong.

Be careful when flashing back from OpenWRT to original firmware. You may end up bricking your router if done improperly. Some user in this thread "kena" already.

The following is the right way of flashing back to TP-Link's firmware (Reference):

Step 1
Download the firmware for TL-MR3420 v2 (the filename contains "boot" & the size=4063744 bytes)

Step 2
Cut the first 0x20200 (that is 131,584 = 257*512) bytes from the original firmware

On Linux or MAC, fire up the command prompt, and type:

The dd utility is part of the Linux & MAC OS. For Windows, search "dd for windows", or use HexEdit.

Step 3
Flash the stripped file (size = 3932160 Bytes / 3840 KiB / 3.75 MiB) through web interface.

This is the firmware without bootloader, uploaded by user on OpenWRT.org (see Post #108).
I've not personally tested it. Use while you can, on your own risk...

You can just flash to BlackWidow from Huntsman's web interface.

For those who're interested:

See htmode in Common Options under Wifi Devices.

err.....abit confused on the step to flash to stock fw..how to to the second step?mind to share any video on how to do it? BTW im not able to use LAN cable to connect with the router...now using blackwidow..already try port in to WAN port n LAN port 1 but unable to connect on the user interface..only can connect thru wifi OPENWRT..

Those steps are just for making your flashable firmware on your own. You can just skip that and terus go to download
https://www.box.com/s/kps8yu3wszywuhqzy0c3 the file and flash using the web interface... Easy?

so just dload the firmware from the link goven n flash it thru blackwidow user interface?
