+ a kg of groundnuts + Mr Potato Chips

It seems that BW 2013.04.04 is much stable after all ?

Try 192.18.1.1 on another browser

If still cannot get into http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci , try another PC.

Next time. pls follow instructions when flashing, do a 30/30/30 reset if you are migrating from a FW that is not BB or Huntsman.

Please use a LAN cable , get a another PC/Laptop

What are instructions meant for ?



Flashers ( modem and routers not human ) need to read the instructions before attempting any flashing.

The author already mentioned clearly the 30/30/30 reset before performing any cross FW upgrade, For system upgrade compatible image to replace the running firmware upgrade like from Barrier Breaker > Huntsman , the 30/30/30 reset need not be perform.

Preparing the Router

To make sure the router accepts the new image correctly we must reset the router to its factory default state. Do not skip this step unless the router is new, fresh out of the box.

This step is only taken if the router still contains the factory firmware. It is not needed when upgrading a router that is running the ROOter firmware.

Do a 30/30/30 hard reset of the router.

Make sure the router is powered up.

Press in the reset button on the back of the router and hold it in for 30 seconds.

Continue to hold in the reset button and disconnect the router power.

Keep holding in the reset button for another 30 seconds.

While still holding in the reset button, power up the router once again.

Hold the reset button in for another 30 seconds, and then release it.

Let the router start up normally.



Upgrading the Firmware from Factory to ROOter

With the router reset, unplug it from power and hook an Ethernet cable from LAN 1 on the router to the network port on the computer. Power up the router and wait for it to boot up.

Use your browser to access the web interface of the router at the default IP Address and log in with the default User Name and password.

For most routers the default IP Address is 192.168.1.1. Check your router's manual if you are unsure of the default address. In many cases the default User name is admin and the Passowrd is also admin. Again, check the manual if unsure.

The example used here is the TP-Link MR3420V1 but other routers will be very similar.

Navigate to System Tools and then to Factory Defaults .

Huntsman need to do reboot via 192.168.1.1 if connection freezes on my Mr3420 BUT on 1043ND which i put it on all night long streaming sky.fm do not need manual reboot

Maybe 1043ND supply 1.5A of power and this overide the need to do manual reboot via 192.168.1.1



abt the antenna thingy, why bother , just LAN cable and its more stable too

Have you tried it on another PC ?



Let this be a lesson to others who want to flash their router, " Follow instructions "

Btw, pls refer to the Mens and Modems blog to revive your soft bricked ( if it is in its current state now ) router.

What abt 1043ND ?

Thanks

so a "new virgin image" ?

to be flashed on which version of the Huntsman ?

thanks

Both my 1043ND and MR3420 are running HM 04-14, only MR3420 fakap on me, whereas 1043ND works flawlessly.

Maybe 1043ND have a bigger flash (8MB) , hence less problem detected.

My 1043ND session starts at 11.30pm > 10.30am , not even an IP change sometimes............mostly streaming sky.fm classical jazz

1043ND is really good , 8MB flash , triple antenna , Gigabit Lan ports...............


but factory FW dun support usb modem, i only got to use it on MF680/E398?E372 when i started using BB and HM firmwares

all thanks to our 2 sifu , Diaryman and Wahronga Farm

I was abusing my Asus RT N16 then

Pls show your speedtest result , both results, and we will help you to overcome it

What version of the FW of the MR3420 V1 are you using ?

Try WiFi via a Tablet/Smart fon

You should see some difference

Just increase the port #, you will see "porting changing" , then run a speedtest or load a page, later you can see your Modem Detected with the telco info like Cell Id BUT Maximum QoS is no more shown.

On Huntsman 2013-04-23 now

Using E372 modem, just Increase Com Port > Load a page > Bingo





AA is good and stable but HM have more features and stuff to play play



Thanks to Dairyman and Wahroonga Farm

What have you done to make it into this condition ?

Hi everybody!

I've been playing around with my TL-MR3420 v2.1 with OpenWRT for a few months already. I'm trying to make an "ultimate download machine" without using my main PC with this little machine - BitTorrent, aria2, eMule/aMule, or MLDonkey...

This is interesting man. All i knoe is that Asus RT N-16 is capable of doing it by default FW, but MR3420 with 8MB of flash memory possible ?

Have you tried on a 8MB flash memory TL-WR1043ND yet ?

Interesting indeed.......

But these TP link routers only have one usb port , how to plug in usb modem and external HDD at one shot ?
