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

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] nod.gif
and yes, from this connection, iPod Touch could determine the location[the exact location biggrin.gif ] and yes.. my iPod Touch doesn't has GPS

ok, thanks.

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

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]
