oh one more thing,

for those who tweaked their huawei modem band config and plug into their openwrt router,.. the openwrt firmware no matter which version ( huntsman, blackwidow, Altitude adjustment or barrier breaker ) all will restore the band config to auto band,...

u will need to plug in your modem into router first, then use the command section at modem tab to enter AT command to band config your modem ,...

just though some of you might want to know,...

No issue getting connected using Huntsman 04-30 version on MR3020 and E398. Currently, monitoring it's stability before upgrading the rest of my fleet of TP-Link routers. biggrin.gif

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 ?

Space limitation can be easily overcome with Rootfs on External Storage (extroot). The main constraint I came across now isn't with storage space, but with the limited RAM soldered onboard... planning on upgrading it to 64 MB... icon_idea.gif thumbup.gif Ahhh... my soldering skill unsure.gif

This is a little capable machine, although a bit old, but is well supported by OpenWRT and Gargoyle firmware.
Check this out: OpenWRT Built for TP-Link WR1043ND

By adding USB hubs (USB 2.0), you can do more with OpenWRT. For e.g:
1. Wireless surveiliance camera
2. USB bluetooth
3. More USB WiFi adapters, connecting to some other AP's (station mode) and acting as an AP at the same time, WDS, etc ...and... aircrack-ng brows.gif
4. USB audio - play mp3 music wirelessly! See this youtube video
5. Many other uses, as long as there's OpenWRT driver support for the hardware!

PS: Theoretically USB 2.0 can support up to 128 devices connected at once, with hubs! nod.gif




What kind of USB hub have you tested ?

I believe you would need an external enabled powered hub, I just bought an External powered hub, it was fine when i used direct plug in to pc's usb port and supply a 1A external power for the hub with the modem connected. But it wont work when i connect the hub with the modem to my MR3420 doh.gif
Those of you who want to try my way of using a powered usb hub, becareful ~~ never connect the powered usb hub to your pc usb ( on it ) before you start your pc , it will short your pc mobo/usb port ( the power from the powered usb port )

I see that many of you have a wrong impression about ROOter firmwares (namely Redback, BlackWidow and Huntsman) although Dairyman and Waroonga Farm have mentioned before. Note that it's a customized version of OpenWRT which optimize for 3G/4G usage. The only configuration you need to worry about for making 3G/4G connection is at the Modem tab (APN name, Username, Password, SIM PIN, Keep Connection Alive, DNS servers). You don't need to mess with the configurations in the Network tab 'cause whatever you do over there will be overwritten by a scheduled task.

And the Network Status at the Modem tab it's just informational, it doesn't affect your connection at all.

I hope we don't get confused with the original OpenWRT releases. To understand better about ROOter firmwares, please read information on this page - http://www.rfactory.org/OpenWRT/

Yes, if you use some power/current hungry devices such as USB 3G modem... and no, if you don't (e.g. flash drive + usb bluetooth).

Getting things done under Linux (i.e OpenWRT) isn't as straightforward as it is on Microsoft Windows. It needs more works and reading. It's not that hard if you're willing to learn. And it's quite rewarding if you do so.

I believe you're using ROOter firmware (Huntsman?). And I think this firmware may "assume" user to have only *ONE* USB port and *NOT* using an external hub, so the 3G modem can only exist on USB 1-1 location. When you plug the modem into a port on the external hub, the address change (maybe USB 2-1 or something). The scripts on the firmware failed to recognize this and making you think that the hub isn't working, but in fact it's recognized by the kernel.

How do we know that? Use PuTTY or whatever SSH/telnet software to log into your router, and check with the command:
CODE
dmesg | more

Or (Check before & after pluging in your devices)
CODE
cat /proc/bus/usb/devices

Or even better (if you've enough space):
CODE
opkg update
opkg install usbutils
lsusb

Solution? Use other firmware & do the customization on your own.

u need to make sure u didnt tweak any turbo supercharges or tweaking any TX/RX value number,.. u need to make sure your E372 is original factory default setting ,. then it will work,.

or

u can set up manually :

- then login 192.168.1.1 ( you will see LuCI Gui interface )

- select UMTS/GPRS/ED-VO protocol
- click switch protocol
- select UMTS/GPRS/ED-VO on protocol again
- Modem device ( zte mf680 = /dev/ttyUSB1 , E372 = /dev/ttyUSB0 <- last is zero )
- service type : select UMTS only or UMTS/GPRS
- Key in your ISP APN , ( Unet, Maxisbb, bbnet, celcom3g, u3g, my3g and so on )
- Go to ADvance setting
- Modem init time out: 5 ( key in )
- Use gateway Metric : 0
- Tick the box of : if uncheck, No default route is configure
- Use custom DNS server : 8.8.8.8 click the icon at the end

unfortunately, there is a bug in 04-30 version where the Keep Connection Alive script is pointing to a private IP address to check the WAN connection. If you've set "Enabled with Restart", it will continue to reboot every time the scheduled task run due to the private IP address is unreachable.

Here's a quick workaround until the bug has been rectified in the next release:
- Change the settings for Keep Connection Alive in Modem tab to Enabled or Disabled
- Add the this command without the double quotes in Scheduled Tasks under System tab. "*/5 * * * * /bin/ping -c 10 openwrt.org || reboot"



Latest update:
Please redownload the 04-30 version from the website, it has been replaced with a working firmware.
