yeah wan restart is the best choices so far

u have to choose these option under keep connection alive
best choose wan restart, then it will auto reconnect

enable = just only ping the connection
enable with wan restart = it will restart your modem connection once the ping detect failed
enable with modem toggle = it will restart the power to your modem once the ping detect failed,.

wireless bridge from other wireless router ?

yes, you cam,

just go to LuCI 192.168.1.1 -> network -> wifi -> click Scan -> Add -> key in the wireless password -> click save and apply

if that LTE signal is open , then u can connect whether force LTE only or On Auto both,.

if both method cannot connect, probably is not ready for public

if the LTE is not open to public yet,.
no matter what you do, you wont be able to connect to it,..

yeah best is flash stock firmware first before u flash huntsman

so where to start as in what issue you refering to ?

is it where to start is refer to how to flash from stock firmware to rooter firmware for your mr3420 V2 ?

method to flash rooter :

nothing wrong with your device,
your plan is the issue,..

congrats

direct usb data cable, i guess

well,
probably huddle is the one dial the connection then issue DHCP IP to rooter,..
similar situation like my 753S mifi i guess,.
on the hostless mifi modem driver ..

sometimes congested during certain peak hour in your area is the main key as well ,..

u refering for your E398 working under 3G or 4G ?
it should be compatible,
if not, u always have alternative choices to flash to Rooter firmware

if u are using 4MB flash memory router like MR3420 V1, V2,. is hardly left any empty space to install openvpn, let alone to save the config to it...

8MB flash memory router will be much suitable for this, like 1043ND, and a few more new model

i mean for normal router which only have 4MB flash memory, u dont have enough left over empty space to install openvpn packages and set it up,. ( unless you are PRO in linux and able to modify to slim down the size of openwrt firmware ),

otherwise 8MB flash memory router would be best choices,..

there is a solution to install openvpn on your 4MB flash router,
u need a powered USB hub with pen drive ( 2 or 4GB ) ,.

then u will need to flash your pendrive to ext4 and linux swap both option,..

then u will need to install exroot in your openwrt firmware,.

you can search how to exroot in youtube ,..

from there u will have extra space left over on pendrive to install any other packages,..

for rooter wise i am not quite sure whether exroot will be working fine or not since i personally not yet tested

yes, it should work plug and play,. auto detect and dailing

it should auto gear,

if is not, then is your e398 firmware version issue,..

from few pages back and last few page sin last V2 tplink thread,
few user report on E398 issue,
end up some of them downgrade/upgrade firmware,..
then viola it worked,.

i am not sure which firmware, guess you better to consult with blacktubi

well mifi like E5331 is built mainly for user who is always on the move with convenience wireless connection,..

while E3276 + TpLink is built best for homes usages,..

if u comparing usages at home only,. it still depending on what frequency in 3G you are connected to,
3G in malaysia = 2100Mhz & 900Mhz ( some area only have either one ),..

so if your device conencted to 2100Mhz in 3G in your area, then it will be confirm weaker signal than 900Mhz

the higher frequency = the lower penetration

and compare between both device E5331 & E3276,..

E5331 = mifi, built with older generation chipset from Qualcomm MDM8200A, support 3G up to HSPA+ 21Mbps

E3276 = Data card/Usb Modem built with latest huawei own hilink chipset, support 3G up to DC-HSPA+ 42Mbps, 4G up to 150Mbps,..

also it depends on your personal budget as well,..

and one more thing, TPLink TL-MR3420 V2 original router stock firmware current DONT SUPPORT E3276 modem, u need to convert your router by flashing it to Rooter openwrt firmware,..

last thing is depends on your way of usages,..

plenty of factor to consider about,.. just make sure u pick the right choices,.
