i never did check anything on that, wasnt very relative to me, thanks to the snailing speed of TM, anything faster than that is already considered great

i was asking bout 30/30 reset thing, dont understand

With the ROOter software and Modem Gui you can select mode frequency bands.

PS These Modem Gui features will be included in the ROOter software in due course.

Read the ROOter WIKI for further details

Noob ques, is there any version of openwrt that could make my mr3420 support Yes GO dongle? if not, is mr3020 my only option? But I need at least 4 LAN ports..sigh..

Huntsman 2013-05-12 New Luci GUI (SVN package update). Fixed the GB problem with Bandwidth Monitoring so the values are now correct. Support for the WDR4900, MR11U and MR3040V2 have been added. And the big one – display and selection of the modem's Cellular Mode so you can change to 2G, 3G or 4G, depending on the modem. This needs testing for all 4G modems just to make sure that the drop-down selection box is correct for that modem. If a modem doesn't support a particular mode then it won't appear. Also, newer Huawei modems need testing. Huawei uses two different AT Commands to display and select Cellular Mode, one for older modems and one for newer modems. I have tested the older version and it works. The newer version is untested but should work.

.... is released for your viewing pleasure.

"I need to see the Network Status page where it shows the Modem Manufacturer and Model. I need to see exactly what the model name is since that is used to determine if it should be 4G or 3G.

Then go to the bottom of the page and turn on Logging.

Look at the System Log and post the response from the AT Commands being sent.

This way I can see what is needed to get this working. "

Thanks Digilife.

Looks like the ZTE MF680 is not covered for Mode.

You can assist by providing the following information requested by Dairyman to fault find:

This page contains the following errors:
error on line 446 at column 18: AttValue: " or ' expected
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

Hi Doomguard (and everyone else),

There was a wee html coding error in the latest version for this tab. It displayed in Widows Firefox ok.

Please visit Dairyman's website and download 2013-05-12b.

A fix for later model Huawei (e.g. E398 etc) modems which don't display the mode selection, will arrive shortly.

I am testing Huawei E372 on 2013-05-12a at this time rite now

Will try 12b later in the day, gonna catch some sleep now.......

That will be fixed in the next release
Hopefully 12b will fix the MF680 problem ...

Cheers

Thanks for testing 

I have this to add, at the same location and almost the same time, Modem Huawei E372 performed more than double the download speed when being used on Barrier Breaker ( 1043ND ) compared to Huntsman 2013-05-12a ( MR3420 ) I believe the Dual Channel HSPA+ was activated on HM 2013-05-12a during that time.

Ping on the 1043ND was superb too.

p/s MF680 and E372 dun show Cell Mode on 12a , 12b not tried yet , maybe later this evening.

Hi, I need help.

I plug my 3G modem to MR3420 and connect my computer with LAN cable. The download speed is kind of slow.  When I plug my 3G modem directly to the computer, the download speed is 5 times faster. 

Is there any setting I need to do on MR3420 so that I can gain full speed of my 3G modem ??

Thanks.

    A number of testers have experienced problems (disconnection etc) with 4G modems (320U, E3276, MF821, E392 etc) in low signal strength areas or other situations. The most likely reason is insufficient USB router power when the modem is operating at the fast ROOter speeds. Fast USB modems can draw in excess of 750mA @ 5 volt. These USB modems may require a Y – cable, to provide additional USB power. You can also use a powered hub or a higher power ROOter AC plug pack if you have one available. There is also evidence that a USB cable with ferrite bead may also assist in a suspect interference issue. Turning off wifi and using a LAN only connection is often sufficient to achieve stable modem operation. This is due to a reduction in ROOter power consumption leaving more power for the USB modem.

    If you set a modem to a particular Mode e.g. 2G, 3G, 4G, Auto; the mode is set in the modem and is permanent until changed ie you can shift the modem between devices and the mode configuration remains. This is also true for the modems connection manager software. The permanent setting of Mode can trip you up at times; so beware!

    The MR3040 travel router appears to have limited battery power when used with the newer power hungry USB modems. This is widely reported on the web. It will probably require a permanent AC power connection to work successfully.

    The 703N (and it's stable mates) will likely benefit from a larger AC power pack when used with power hungry USB modems. The standard power pack specification is 5V @ 1A or 5 watts. The 703n internal current regulator limits @ 1.25A, or a total ROOter power availability of 6.25 watts. A 5v @ 1.5A (or 2A) AC power pack, will provide more power for the modem; before internal current limiting kicks in.
