Hi guys I just brought an TL-MR3420 V2.1, i am using E372 modem. But the router will keep disconnected and unable to reconnect back! firmware also been update to the latest one still the problem exist. Any user facing the same problems too? any solving method ?

Did you supercharge yr E372? I noticed if I tweak some NV value to too extreme value, it has the similar issue on my 3420 v1. Although it can work if direct plugin to my pc.

I have the V1.2 and V2.1 One interesting observation I have is that using E398 a cable connection and wifi disabled, the V1 actually gives better speeds than the V2 on stock firmware
Hi guys anyone still remember how to set an internet connection from PC to Modem to download OpenWRT Package? I am stuck at the command that i should type in PUTTY

Sorry bro, I still can't understand. Sorry for being noobs.
thats is QOS ( quality if services ) and bandwith control. Control which pc get how much maximum bandwith. it's like housemate downloading 24/7 then use this bandwith control to cap it's speed so others can enjoy the internet.

I would prefer 3G for OpenWRT thread
Since after you got OpenWRT up and running, the steps are general

well depends though,
since i am no longer using V1 or V2, so can't tell much whether it is superb or not,.
but of course the openwrt will have some perks that stock firmware dont have

i have a weird idea abt it.. do u guys know how usb speed is rated at 1.5Mbps, 12Mbps, 480Mbps, and 5Gbps. what if something is amiss with our usb driver on the router or our modem signalling itself as a usb 1.1 device, the speed would be limited to 12Mbps.. minus with bus overhead, it could well return 10~11Mbps..

how does my theory sound?
Now that you've mentioned it, this may be plausible
But with my e353, I did 1.5 MBps briefly last night (a few short seconds...maybe Networx delay?)
chuahcs79, did you ever get > 12 Mbps with MR3420 Stock or OpenWRT?

chuahcs79, did you ever get > 12 Mbps with MR3420 Stock or OpenWRT?
network delay is also plausible.. chuahcs79 always get >12Mbps.. i think its like 16Mbps avg for him... for me, other than network, i would say that our modem is signalling itself as a 12Mbps or Full Speed usb device, cause, if u notice, sometimes, the modem would do that even on a PC.. i think its got something to do with the CD-ROM emulator on the modems.. just my thoughts.. dont have the time to dug up evidence for my blabbering..

yes i know its USB 2.0, but remember, every USB spec released, it needs to be backward-compatible.. even USB 1.0 device will still work with usb 3.0 port.. the difference is in the signalling, power delivery, etc..
QUOTE(chuahcs79 @ Feb 6 2013, 07:31 PM)
yea it is USB2.0 but then they wonder that whether the openwrt firmware dialing them in usb2.0 or usb1.1 ?
since he never get more than 12Mbps,..
anyone have ssd external hdd? maybe they can test the real throughput.. so as to asses whats the problem..

so far my openwrt v1 had been up for more than 20 days non stop, and still very2 stable.....using it with e367, no fan at all and temp is very2 good.....this is the longest up time ive ever achieved.....

only openwrt able to do so, the stock firmware wise u DC for around 7~10 times at least in 20 days
to keep your router fresh, minimum reboot once /week,..
there is command to set in scedule task to do so,.

with most users reporting a 480 bus speed, we can only assume that it its our modems that are signalling to the router that it is running at 12Mbps.. now we only need to figure why it happen and how to overcome it..
See, ur kernel log states new high-speed USB device.. High-Speed USB = USB 2.0 = 480Mbps.. Ur running a Kingston DT 101 G2 USB Drive on that particular usb port.. using extroot to entend ur root_fs i presume?

Just stumbled across all your hard work with the MR3420 V1 and V2.
There are a small band of TPLINK fans down under, however we have met a major stumbling block with the so called 3G/4G versions of the TPLINK MR series.
The problem is that the TPLINK drivers for the fast 4G modems do not work at the speed of the modem (100Mbs or higher).
The V2 limits the available network 4G speed dramatically.
Rather than a lot of words; if you are interested, read our V2 thread, which focus's on the speed problem.
In addition this version of Open WRT supports a windows based 'Modem GUI'. This wonderful 'add on' reports and controls lots of interesting modem information real time.
Developments are ongoing.

i've read some of the post.. seems like ur suggesting that the ppp protocol used by openwrt is the limiting factor in its speed? or is it the router own hardware thats limiting it?

There is no problem with any of the TPLINK router hardwares and we've seen 4G speeds up to 70Mbps using the 4G image on the very tiny 703n.
The primary problem is the PPP protocol that is routinely implemented by router suppliers (in this case TPLINK). TPLINK have indicated in correspondence that some modems are supported at full speed; but we haven't found any yet!
Fast 3G (HSPA+ DC etc) will also be speed limited by PPP.
For PPP, 25Mps is the maximum down speed and it is considerably less on the up side. The best that I have measured on the uplink is in the 2Mbps area. PPP is likely to be the cause of some of the speed issues you appear to be having? As far as I know, Open Wrt only uses PPP drivers at this time (except for our images).
All this information is available on the WIKI. Start there for what is hopefully a background description of the project and the key players. I'm simply a user.
One of the many challenges was to fit 'all this', into 4Mb.
Our programming wiz Dairyman managed this not inconsiderable feat, with space to spare.
So as we speak, we are light years ahead of the official TPLINK firmware in terms of speed/ throughput performance (and everything else for that matter).
Adding additional (unsupported) modems is basic process and Dairyman is keen to upgrade the images as required.
The current images are 100% tested, so safe to flash, with the normal provisos.

Just be aware that it has not been tested with many modems, so there may be a few problems.
But nothing that cannot be sorted quickly we hope.
If you have a problem, pop up in the 'development thread' and we should be able to sort it out.
Most of us are in Australia, but our key programmer Dairyman is Canadian, so time zones slow things down a bit.
I'm having difficulty getting my Huawei E398 to use qmi instead ppp. I'm not familiar to the whirlpool forum and don't know how to do a search. Have you seen anything tested it successfully? Thanks in advance!

Best to join Whirlpool and raise the matter re the Huawei E398 in the 4G Open WRT developers thread.
It's not very formal and just bumbles along until we get someone like you with a new challenge.
Just pop up and say something like"Hi from Malaysia. I cannot get my E398 to run with QMI etc ..."

hi eager to try ur firmware does it already has installed qos? or do i need to install it myself? going to pair it with my ZTE MF680
EDIT my MF680 and Huawei E353 can be use straight and browse the internet Before this i use AA rc1, then straight upgrade to ur openwrt firmware and the ModemGUI, only detect ZTE MF680, not Huawei E353, well not bad as i rarely use E353, consider good already MF680 can see signal The prob now, i cant seem to install "luci-app-qos" Pls help, i really need qos, cant you guys include the qos in the image?

just make sure u upgrade your MR3420 V1 or V2 to latest TPLink stock firmware,
it will auto recognize it after
my MR3420 V2 frequently DC..already upgrade to latest firmware..is it my E367 problem? try to flash to openwrt and sucssesful..but have no idea how to connect to 3G.. does it auto connect or we need to manually setting the openwrt?

on your V2 original TPLINK stock firmware,
under the 3G/4G in network setting, IDLE timeout: 0 <-- need to set zero
so it wont DC
if u did V2 openwrt : just follow below to setup
- login 192.168.1.1 ( you will see LuCI Gui interface ) - click login - go to System - go to Administration - key in your new password ( For web Gui ) - re key in your same password again - click save and apply - go to Network - click Edit on Wan ( 3G wan ) - select UMTS/GPRS/ED-VO protocol - click switch protocol - Modem device ( ZTE modem = /dev/ttyUSB1 , Huawei modem = /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 - second roll: 8.8.4.4 - LCP echo failed Threshold : 0 - LCP echo interval : 5 - Inactivity timeout: 0 - select Wifi - click Edit - select your wifi prefer channel 1~11 - enter your wifi name in ESSID - go to Wireless security - encryption : WPA2-PSK - key : wifi password - click save and apply - then click enable to on your wifi ( if u need it ) - now go to System - Reboot - click Performs reboot - plug in your Usb modem after - wait for reboot finish and enjoy
thanks mr. chuah for the reply.. on my V2, i need to select "connect manually" or "connect on demand" in order to be able to set the idle timeout..if i select connect automatically, this idle timeout function cannot be key in..
and my MR3420 seem difficult to identify my E367..sometimes it identify successfully, sometimes it will keep to identifying... and sometimes it show "unknown modem model..."

Guys, why when i try to click "save and apply" in openwrt, my router keep disconnecting and the webui does not responding. I also tried to restore to factory default and rebooting multiple times, but the same problem still occurs. Even when i restore to original stock firmware and flashing back to openwrt, my router keep disconnecting when i clicked "save and apply". Please help me.

lan or wlan connection? if ur editing ur wireless setting.. of course it will dc if ur using wlan..
Im connecting my pc to mr3420 v2 using lan cable, but other devices in my house just use wifi to connect to the internet. I look at the guide chuahcs posted, but it says i need to configure the 3g wan. But when i look at the openwrt network interface, only LAN section is available, WAN and 3g are not. So i edited the LAN section (i tried to edit in the WAN section, but it wont connect to the internet)

i also have plugged in the lan cable into WAN slot on my router, but i cant open the openwrt WebUI after that.
can u do a reset? then edit only the wan section.. ur lan cable must be plugged into the lan port.. not wan port..
set to connect manually first -> then set IDLE timeout = zero /0 -> then set back to connect automatically
Thanks mr. Chuah, i flashed to openwrt and now my modem uptime is10hours ++..and my connection also stable until now..very nice..i ama happy with my both modem..what if i change to e398? Any improvement?
And guys, how to set dns in openwrt? First i key in 8.8.8.8, then i click the small icon with the plus sign..nothing happen..just the green plus sign become red cross sign..

Me: What identifies that (use of PPP) from the system log?
Dairyman: The fact that it used AT Commands to connect to the network. The ATD *99 command is used for PPP only.
For QMI you'll see other stuff like ===Starting QMIhelp and various things QMI related.
For the Sierra it uses AT Commands but the key one is AT!SCACT which does the Direct IP thing.
So I can tell by looking what protocol is being used. Makes me look brilliant to the unwitting. -----
So check your System log.
Is it successfully connecting to the network?
one thing that's a bit annoying for the firmware is the auto trigger/script that keeps overwriting my 3G config. This made my 3G connection unreliable. I've given up on using QMI for E398, will probably try again when QMI is available for mainstream since Barrier Breaker is still in development stage.
anyhow, I learned a lot and it's fun to experiment all these stuff. Keep up the good work, it's very beneficial to the rest of us!
one thing that's a bit annoying for the firmware is the auto trigger/script that keeps overwriting my 3G config. ...
Yes it will.
The script is necessary to start the 'fast drivers'.
Your ISP/ 3G details (APN, user-name password) must go in the rc.local script (System -> Start Up), and not via the normal openwrt WAN interface.
By using the normal interface it will only use PPP and the information will be lost at restart etc.
The necessary 'how to' is HERE. Please follow it precisely for good results.
It is very stable.
Yes it is different, but this is the only way the additional driver information could be incorporated in the limited 4Mb of ram. As you can see there is still plenty of space with our package, for ongoing developments.

Thanks for pointing me towards the right direction and for becoming the medium for us to get help on the firmware!
Note: There are currently two versions; QoS and non-QoS for each router. This was done due to concerns of RAM space. The QoS version makes almost no difference to RAM (still ~65% free), so please use the QoS version. The non-QoS will be removed at the next upgrade.

What modem + what speed if using the modem on the PC only and how was the signal
There is a new firmware release for our V1 OpenWRT image.
20/2/13 - A modem data page for capture of modem information. Include QoS package. Additional modems support. Fixed Custom DNS server order. Added the Script Version number to the Modem Connection page to identify the version. Include the 'relayed package' to support Client & Repeater mode.
Modem Gui is the icing on the cake with our version.
err guys how to reset my router? it seems when using openwrt the reset button wont react
done some reading it has something to do with qss button + reset button for certain model. mostly suggest using winscp to overwrite the firmware file. as currently i cant login to admin panel

thanks..it works, i've managed to establish internet with e398, however, i'm connecting through WAN interface instead of 3g interface, is this correct.
and my device behind this router cannot ping like google.com and the rest.. firewall setting issue?

It's best to have a play with it and then come back with any specific questions.
Sierra and Huawei modems have the best control.
Caution: If you set a band via Modem Gui; it will immediately send the appropriate AT command to the modem and that state will be set. So if you set '3G only', on a 3G/4G modem, then it won't receive 4G, even if it is removed and put in another device.
You can even select channels within a band (if they are known) via specific AT commands. This was one of the features that initially drove the project.

thanks a lot! By the way, how do we check if the modem has been set to the mode that I've selected?
I selected 3G only in mode selection, waited long enough to let the background scripts to be executed. I then disconnected the modem from the GUI and then reconnect it. It shows Auto instead of 3G only in mode selection. Is this expected?

I don't think so; but not 100% sure.
The ensuing AT command should permanently set the modem in that mode until set back to auto etc.
There may be a problem with the E398 protocol?
Drop a copy of the modem info ...
PS Remember that you guys are helping test modems ... we don't have.

I finally found the time to register and join the party here. I'm Dairyman from the WP forum and the programmer behind the custom OpenWRT firmware. I live in Canada so I'm in a totally different time zone than everyone else here and my replies may be a bit slow.
The problem you are experiencing with the E398 stem from the fact that there is no support in ModemGUI for a 4G Huawei modem. Didn't have an example to work with at the time and never added it.
The program checks the modem for the mode and band it currently is set for and adjusts the dropboxes accordingly. It is being confused by a 4G setting when it doesn't know what that is. So what the dropboxes show is what the modem reports it is using.
Using Auto should allow it to use 4G as the modems seem to connect to the fastest mode available.
I will fix this problem in ModemGUI in the next release, as I get time.
A new version of the firmware is being created right now and will be available very soon. It adds a feature that will allow you to add a modem that is currently not supported and have it remain supported even after upgrading the firmware again. Simple to do and it is all through the web interface.
I guess once when we understand the Huawei 4G AT band commands, as a temporary measure, these could be 'fired off' via the Modem GUI custom command feature?

That is a good way to do it until I fix the program. You can set mode and band in one command. I just have to find out what the values in the command are for 4G.

Hi Dairyman, thanks for taking the effort to join this forum and provide support for your great initiatives. We're grateful that you and Wahroonga Farm coming here to further enhance our experience with these awesome affordable routers from TP-Link.
I'm looking forward to having the capability of doing modem related stuff directly from the web interface.

Glad to be here. We have found the TP-Link routers to be cheap and reliable and, with the new firmware, a great piece of hardware for 3G/4G usage.
I have found the AT Command to set a Huawei modem into 4G mode. It is :
AT^SYSCFGEX=03,3FFFFFFF,2,4,7fffffffffffffff,,
This will set it to 4G mode with band selection automatic.
Use ModemGUI in the Custom Command dialog to execute this command.
A new version of the fast 3G/4G OpenWRT with Modem GUI is available.
26022013 – New 'modem support' and 'information' tabs so that the user may add an unsupported modem or modify an old one. Fixed mismatch of protocol and driver for the MF6XX family. ***New MR3220 V1 and V2 firmware***. Note: It is safe to 'keep configuration' when updating to this version.
I've been following the last couple of pages silently and I'm very excited with the new firmware. Special thanks to DairymanCanada & Wahroonga Farm
Upgraded from 20022013 to 26022013 without a hitch.
I'm using an e353 modem and it works just fine connecting to the internet with the router (MR3420 V1).
...but I couldn't get it to work with ModemGUI. When I click "Connect" the window sometimes goes to "Not Responding" but still connects.
OpenWRT System Log:

ModemGUI seems to connect with the router but I waited for 10 seconds (and longer) but all the info is 'Unknown': Clicked on 'Disconnect', waited for a while, all the buttons remains disabled (including the Exit button). So I had to quit via the X button.

From memory the E353 uses Port 1, so try selecting the 'Modem Command port'; rather than auto, which uses Port 2.
I did try Port 1 previously but it said "Modem Not Found". Nonetheless, tried using Port 1 again, and it works!
edit: Tried Automatic again, same thing, no info. Had to force exit (x). Then tried Port 1, error "Modem Not Found". Tried Port 1 again, then it works.

One thing you have to make sure of is that the modem has finished connecting before you use ModemGUI. Don't attempt to use it while the modem is still working on the connection or really strange things can happen.
This is caused by several AT Commands being sent to the modem from different sources (connection script and ModemGUI) and they conflict with each other. Guaranteed to cause a program crash.
I have found that for some things, like SMS, you have to stop all other AT Commands from being sent to the modem or the program crashes. Actually it sits waiting for a response that got funneled off to another process and gets locked in a waiting loop.
FYI, Automatic is just ttyUSB1. Long boring story as to why this so I won't relate it.
One other thing that may be happening here. WF was probably using the PPP protocol when his image was taken. That was the original setting for the E353. You are using QMI since the firmware was changed to support this for the E353.
What can happen (it does for ZTE modems) is that using QMI changes the command port from that used in PPP. For the MF668 the command port in PPP is ttyUSB2 and using QMI it is ttyUSB1.
You sometimes have to experiment to find the correct port.

An update of Dairyman Openwrt package is available.
02/03/2013 – Minor bug fixes (e.g. script date) plus major features.
+ PAP and CHAP authentication. + 'Keep connection alive' (like Dovado) with a choice of 'disabled', 'just ping and report' or 'ping and restart WAN' if disconnected. + Additional support for the E3276, (no user added support required). + USB (powered) hub support.
Note: The Keep alive function pings 8.8.8.8 every 2 minutes and waits up to 10 seconds for a response. If Enabled then it logs a message stating the connection is down or that it is alive. If Enabled and Restart then it will log a message and restarts the WAN if the connection is down.
Wahroonga FarmDairymanCanada Thanks alot for your work bro. We are very happy with the firmware.
Bug report I figure out that we unable get connect in DC-HSPA+. Is that anyone seen DC-HSPA+ with aircard 320u before ?
Regards SL
You are probably getting DC-HSPA+ but ModemGUI is not reporting it correctly. If it finds HSPA+ in the network type it assumes it is HSAP+ and not DC-HSPA+.
I'll correct this problem in the code.
Other modems will also have this problem and will need to have it fixed.

HI, Is that we can check system Log in router there to ensure whether it is DC-HSPA+ or HSPA+ ? Let just me know if you need any info to fix the bugs .

If you have the Signal Log activated (box is checked) in ModemGUI you can look in the Signal.log file (a text file) and see exactly what was returned by the modem. I just seen another log from a 320U that shows a DC-HSPA+ network in the log file.
Just report any thing that doesn't look right to you and I'll see if it is a bug and will attempt to fix it. I have fixed this for ZTE and Sierra modems and am currently finding a fix for Huawei modems.

after flash to open wrt, my tp-link mr3420 unable to detect the correct location already...
before this with the stock firmware, it able to detect the current location.
For example, with stock firmware, in Puchong, my iPod Touch able to detect correct location, mind that iPod Touch doesn't have GPS and it detect location by using the connection that it connect
even in Cameron Highlands also, it can detect the correct location..
but, after flash to open wrt, itmy iPod Touch] unable to detect the exact location, it still stuck at Cameron Highlands[I flash my router at Cameron Highlands]
but when go to free WiFi McD, it able to detect exact location[McD itself]
so, it is the modem/router problem, and not the iPod Touch problem... so, how to fix this?

no GPS, but it can detect the location by using the connection/network
because before flashing to openwrt, it can work properly..
even I bring my TP-Link MR3420 to Kelantan also it will work properly[location can be located],
but now, after flashing it didn't worked, I've already reflash to original firmware, and it has no problem[can locate the location], but then, after flashing to openwrt, the problems happen
then, I try to connect to other router, the problems disappear..
So, it is the router[with openwrt] problem...
SO, I want to know whether if there are ways to fix this problems

This is the Network Type that you are connected to. It is something like HSPA, WCDMA, EDGE or the like.
The program gets this information from an AT Command and then converts it into a set of standard network types. Different modems give the information in different formats so this conversion is necessary. Some give it in text and some as a number.
The program checks through a list to convert this information and, if the network type isn't in it, returns NA.
The network type that you receive is one I've never see before and the program just rejects it. I'll fix the program so it passes the information on to the display part untouched if it can't recognize it. That will fix this problem.

What modem are you using in the router?
Am I correct in assuming you are using the router/modem as a wifi hotspot and connecting the iPod Touch to it?
And from this connection the Touch can determine its location?
There are ways that location can be determined by using the cell tower ID and this appears to be one of them. The Touch gets the ID of the cell tower that the router/modem is connected to and sends it off to a database that returns the tower location.
Exactly why the OpenWRT firmware would block the Touch from getting the tower ID is unknown to me, as this is a first for us. I'll try to see what I can find out about this and report back.

yes,
I'm using ZTE MF680 with TP Link MR3420[flashed with openwrt] and yes, from this connection, iPod Touch could determine the location[the exact location ] and yes.. my iPod Touch doesn't has GPS

I'm no expert on wifi location services, but the iPod Touch can only use wifi location service, ie it accesses an on-line database of SSID identity vs location.
Perhaps the answer is simple?
The TPLINKs SSID and location has been recorded on the Apple wifi location database; whilst the 'brand new' Openwrt SSID is not?
How and why and when 'wifi locations', get recorded ... I don't know???
another thing, i use a home line router connected to my own tplink, so i change frequently between LAN- dhcp client and the modem, i could switch between each by just using the connect button (that was in another firmware), but cant be done on barrier breaker, hope you can look into it

This is confirmed by my findings as well. The Touch can only get location from an already recorded wifi location.
Did you try the factory TP-Link in different locations to see if it gave the proper location? Or was it only at one location?
It is possible that the Touch is getting its location from a different wifi in the area, not one you are connected to but one the Touch can see. It doesn't need to connect to a wifi in order to use it for location and it will use multiple wifis if they are available to triangulate your position.
I honestly can't see how the factory TP-Link could know its location to give to the database. It has no GPS and it could only find the tower ID from the modem, something I doubt it does. Something else is at work here.

Hi, as I have said in my few posts above, i have tried with the original firmware, and it is working without a single problem. My iPod Touch able to detect the exact location almost everywhere as long as there are connection available, I have tried before when I was in Machang, it able to detect my location, and when I am in Puchong, it also able to locate the location too...
But after flash to openwrt, this kind of problems happen..
Edit:(new rules, no combination of post, so i edit my post)
Again, if i connected to McD Wifi, my iPod Touch is able to locate the location, in the Maps/Google Maps application, it will show my location which is very accurate, and it same goes to other wifi connection such as Mydin, KFC, etc...
And TP Link MR3420 original firmware also does the same thing too

i switch a lot between LAN and the modem, and the interface of my Lan can be reconnected just by using the "connect button", but it wont reconnect the modem using the same action

I'm just getting into programming the buttons now. I've enabled the reset button so it deletes the password so you can get access if you have forgotten the password.
When you switch between the Lan and the modem (WAN) does the modem disconnect?
This is all new to me as I am not a router expert, more of a modem interface man.
It is easy to program a button to run a script and do quite a few things, as long as I have a clear understanding of what I'm doing.
If you could give me a detailed description of what you are doing and what is supposed to happen I may be able to make something work.

put it this way, i have 2 internet connections on my router
1. dhcp client to another router for cable internet 2. modem for broadband internet
i want to switch between the two, previously on attitude adjustment firmware, i could by just,say, stop the modem, and connect the LAN for cable internet, or vice versa

This should be possible using a script attached to a button.
I'll look and see what is out there.
My system is very similar as I have Internet coming into the router from another router and the USB modem as well. This makes it possible for me to test this before release.

seems that no solution for my case/problem I don't want to use the original firmware because my connection is more stable with openwrt firmware[plus with some customization,DNS,etc]
barrier breaker connects to broadband ridiculously slow and often disconnects, this needs a fix, it is hard to reconnect once it disconnects, doesnt happen on other openwrt versions
Did not show any information about the model USB Modem or other information.
Can you help me?
Router: TP-Link TL-MR3420 V2.1
USB Modem: Huawei e392u-12
I tried other ports Command but without effect.
Thanks and have a nice day.
Since we don't have a firmware for the MR3420V2 yet you can't use ModemGUI. It doesn't work with the stock TP-Link firmware, only our special OpenWRT version.
We will have a V2 firmware out in, at most, a couple of days since the patch finally came through. And the E392u-12 will be supported using QMI all full speed.

The connection delay is deliberate in our firmware. When using a protocol other than PPP it needs a fair amount of time for everything to get setup and running. It normally takes 1.5 to 2 minutes for the modem to connect.
Using PPP is slightly faster and other versions of OpenWRT don't have our scripts in them so they bang ahead with the connection. This can cause big problems in many situations and is one of the reasons we developed our version.

well i dont quite like it as it switches off my modem and i cant connect back it unless a modem reboot, reconnection that slow is not very convenient, this is one thing the other performs better than yours, might as well u figure something out

Do you want a fast router that manages the fast protocols required for 4G ... or one that is limited to 25Mbps due to PPP.
Your choice.
PS I have an expensive Dovado Tiny and it takes a similar (long) time to connect.
Dairyman has said he'll look at switching options in future releases.

i need is just simple:
1. router doesnt switch off my modem when i use local network, which it does somehow 2. reconnect to the broadband swiftly, which eases me constant switching around, and not wait that lengthy time to use a network 3. (this i not sure if related to router or not) less drop out and disconnections
The long awaited MR3420V2 firmware is now available for download.
And the preliminary version of BlackWidow is also available.
This can be flashed while keeping your old config files since there are only changes to a few scripts.
BlackWidow has a better modem detection scheme that uses the attached drivers to determine which protocol to use. "No more specific support for individual modems except for a few oddballs", to steal a quote from Billion.
If you have a E392 or E3276 then this is the firmware for you.
It has been tested with the Sierra 320U for Direct IP, the MF668 for QMI and various modems for PPP. All are detected correctly so the NCM detection should also work.

Yes. The modem list is here. This is the link to the new BlackWidow firmware. Simply flash an existing Spider ROOTer and keep the configuration scripts. It is essentially a beta release, to overcome serious deficiencies in the modem detection scripts in Redback.
It may have bugs as the method of modem recognition has been altered. It has already been tested on a limited set of modems.
The new MR3420 V2 ROOTer works fine.
Over to you guys to test and play.

hi, can you add also the original router firmware for MR3420 V2 also
i think i brick my mr3420v2 .. after flashing the v2 openwrt. and i accidentally disable the wifi.. now once i connect via ethernet .. got connectivity issue . cant assess to router via ip .. anyone know a fix ? hehe juz trying my luck thanks

As mentioned above the latest version 2013-03-14 is released. You may keep your configuration files when flashing.
Redback and BlackWidow firmware. Fixes problem with 3G PPP modems not connecting. Attempted fix for 'no APN'? MR3420V2 images removed awaiting a fix from OpenWRT. For E392 or E3276, use BlackWidow as it improves modem detection and connection.:

i want the individual files that was needed, instead of the compiled one
Thanks for your great work in testing the Huawei E392u-12 with a USB Y-cable and external 5v supply.
Did this give a working connection?
Cheers

Hi Wahroonga Farm.
Yes. In the first test I did worked for 10min/15min, and have internet access. But now I can not. The router recognizes the USB modem, but does not synchronize with the server.
When I turn off the router's power cord and let the Y on the lights remain on. With the adapter or 5V.
USB modem connected directly to the Router
USB modem connected to the router with 5V supply
Cheers

This modem uses a completely different driver than anything that we support. It is a "HSO" device and needs an HSO driver (which is available for OpenWRT) and a new method of connecting.
Without a similar device to test with, it is almost impossible to create the scripts needed to make this work.

Sorry about that.
but tp-link stock firmware able to make it connect. after flash to open-wrt this option 505m not longer able to connect to internet..
There is a new ROOTer feature on the way which includes many of the Modem Gui features.
It may well solve this current problem with the E392?
Hi Wahroonga Farm and thanks for the answer.
In my version BlackWidow 2013-03-24 don't show any information about the signal or others informations db etc. I don't have Network Information in the router page.
Thank you Wahroonga Farm for posting this information.
I downloaded the Experimental BlackWidow Firmware.
Router: TP-Link TL-MR3420 V2.1 ModemUSB: Huawei e392u-12 Connection Type: 3G (only tested on 3G because there is no 4G network in my area) Firmware: Experimental BlackWidow Firmware
The information displayed on the page of the router Network Status corresponds to information presented in the software USBModem.
I just need the basic settings for the USB Modem to connect to server. To date is functioning correctly.
I discovered a problem that already existed in the previous version and this remains. When I do Restore backup this does not backup the router's settings are used.

Whenever i plug my usb modem (UMG1831) into my tl-mr3040 the lights keep blinking and i cant access the configuration page.....
i tested them individually and it work fine. I called the tp-link hotline twice where the 1st CS suggested a modem incompatibility and 2nd just duno what is it. Both have some heavy accent which makes it hard to understand their english ><
The 1st cs did gave me a software to create a bin file but i cant get it done due to some factors.
Before calling them i have check the latest firmware and compatible list which mine is not there.
Hopefully i am asking in the right section, is this a hardware problem with the router or just modem incompatibility?
edited: problem solved when i read about someone else problem in the tp-link forum, where his router only works with battery. I figure it has to be something similar so i put in my battery and it works! next i put in the ac power and it works.... finally it was own stupidity that causes all this as apparently it need at least a min of 1.0A to work and i was being stubborn to power it up with a usb port..... there goes 1hr+ of my life

Update to the latest firmware and use Huawei E392 bin file from TP-LINk website.
When my MR3420 started up with the Huawei E367 3G modem, the 3G part takes a long time to identify and connect... have to wait for 3-5 minutes before I can go online.
Anyway to speed up the process? Why is it so slow in identifying my E367?

MR3420 V1 is alow on identifying
Only solution is to use OpenWRT. Identified in seconds

...regarding the part highlighted in red, I'm a bit blur on that. Can clarify on the ttyUSB1/USB0 thingy? I don't think I need the google DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. Can I ignore that part?
Just wanna make myself clear on all parts before changing the firmware. Don't wanna brick my router.

i don't think so, i can connect to the internet when i connect the broadband with laptop. but when i plug it in to the router, the usb led blinked one time and then never blink again.

BlackWidow Experimental 2013-04-04 is a proven stable release, so please use this version as it currently provides the best modem support and the best Modem information.
It has a few bugs, but nothing that prevents connection for the currently supported modems.
Dairyman is currently working on a couple of tricky modems which use a web interface for management, rather than a connection manager. As this will be the way of future modems, it is an important issue to tackle.
A stable BlackWidow (non-experimental) release will no doubt come in due course.
The other major job on the 'to do list' is SMS capability via the ROOTer.
PS It'd be helpful if you identify the actual Blackwidow ROOTer firmware ID that you are using, so that we can track what is working. Barrier Breaker doesn't mean much.
There are other developments ongoing so stay tuned.
The ROOTer WIKI gives a run down of the ROOTer software evolution and the ROOTer User Index shows some of our Beta testers.

Is there any intention to port this latest Barrier Breaker onto TP Link TD-W8968 ?
This router Factory FW already support USB Modems but just that the speed sucks.
