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? |

QUOTE(blacktubi @ Apr 7 2013, 04:19 PM) MR3420 V1 is slow on identifying  Only solution is to use OpenWRT. Identified in seconds  QUOTE(chuahcs79 @ Apr 8 2013, 11:20 AM) with openwrt, the E367 huawei can be identify as fast as 5 second,. Thanks. My router is v1   I read the first page guide...: QUOTE now follow all these step below with LAN CABLE CONNECTION ONLY: - go to your browser login 192.168.1.1 - sign in - go to system - firmware upgrade - click browse ( find the openwrt firmware u download just now ) - click upload - wait for uploading firmware finish and it will auto reboot ( make sure dont power off the router when this period because it will brick the router ) - once update % finish, try to close your browser and clear your browser cache - then 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 - 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 - 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 ...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. |

From the first post:
QUOTE First Download this Openwrt image ( compile by khairilyazit & Ibnuasad ) -> openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-mr3420-V1-squashfs-factory.bin! ( http://www.mediafire.com/?2kfwsxglm54xucs#) Is that the latest and stable version? |

@ MakNok
Wanna ask you something since your network is setup like this: MR3420 (WAN)-----PC-----USB modem Do you need to do any extra network settings on your PC for MR3420 WAN connection? As simple as plug&play? |

My power adaptor for MR3420 router just failed today.
 Bought from CZone LYP from May 2012. Already exceed 1 year warranty from shop. However, TPLink gives 2 year warranty, isn't it? I still have the original receipt. EDIT: http://www.tp-link.com.my/support/service-centers/ Service Center Address: 4-20, 4th floor, Plaza Low Yat, off Jalan Bukit Bintang, 55100 Kuala Lumpur. Service center in LYP? really so convenient? Anyone go for RMA before? How's the customer service? This post has been edited by Skylinestar: Nov 15 2013, 09:11 PM |

QUOTE(ibnuasad @ Nov 15 2013, 09:19 PM) Customer service very good. Just make sure bring receipt. Explain the problem. Once CS verify, get replacement you have experienced before? get replacement asap or have to wait for months? do you think only the power adaptor will be replaced or the whole set   ?Sunday open?

QUOTE(blacktubi @ Nov 15 2013, 09:50 PM) Skylinestar : How it failed? Burst into flame? Suddenly no lights on the router...not powering up the router. I suspect the power adaptor. So I tested the power adaptor output plug with a Fluke multimeter... getting 0V instead of 12V.   |
