that's a normal case,.. modem is design to save power so can cool down,.. when u dont have any traffic, the modem will auto fall back to 3G to save power,.. as like your computer go to screensaver mode

i am using the openwrt Barrier breaker,.. QoS never show but the rest is all there under modem section

if u choose keep the connection alive option under modem section, your modem will be on traffic data all time,..

*/2 * * * * /etc/root


* * * * * /bin/ping -q -s 1 -c 60 8.8.8.8 & > /dev/null

yes support, should be plug and play,.. auto detect and auto connect

openwrt is another extra option third party DIY firmware for certain router,.. due to stock firmware sometimes is buggy, slow,..and less additional function

huntsman version is auto detect and auto dial,.. no need to set manually anymore for modem device

i am using mr3040 V1,.. using it with huntsmand openwrt

personally i think mr3040 is better due to like yes huddle, can remove battery and use AC power at home,.. just plug in battery when u mobile outside,..

flashing firmware wont void the warranty,..

just make sure when u flashing openwrt or any other firmware, USE LAN CABLE only ( dont use wireless when flashing )

and always download your original stock firmware first from tp link websites for backup in case anything happen u can always flash back to original stock firmware,..

to claim warranty in your warranty period, just flash it back to tp link stock firmware before u hand it over to your retailer/tplink CS,..

almost all huawei modem model is instant recognize detect and dial,..

u planning to load balance with both usb port ?

personally there is a few buggy spot here and there for me, i personally think openwrt huntsmand version firmware is much more stable & consistennt Wifi , faster detect and recognize modem, and auto ping your connection to prevent IDLE, DNS forwarding so can watch HULU/netflix and many more additional function too ,..

any feedback u can let Wahroonga Farm know,. he will update and feedback to the Dairyman ( original creator ) to improve it
