have u checked the wiki?

mwan3 how to

its up to an individual..
some say using the terminal is easier...
some prefer the gui...

for me, i'm more inclined towards the SSH terminal...

though the Gui is better option for me since am beginner,

rather than SSH terminal with those tons of linux command

i did refer to mwan3 openwrt wiki pages, just a bit confused at middle part

just a dumb question, for the mwan to work on a 4MB mr3420 router, you are extending the flash using usb drive right...

and since you are connecting it through a powered usb hub, will the mr3420 detect both the usb flash drive for extending the flash as well as a usb 3g/4g modem ?

or do you plan to load-balance wan/lan only which frees up the usb port ?

he is probably using a power USB hub. thats the only way to get multiple USB port working on the router. luckily the original port on the router supports daisy-chaining.

i am currently using RT-N14UHP, the default firmware does support some usb-3g/4g modems, the asus firmware is based on openwrt but its nowhere as powerful and customizable as openwrt

no custom firmware for it yet (BCM5358)

so i am planning to get a TP-Link in the meantime, i guess with WR1043ND you don't have to bother extending the flash because the mwan3 and luci-app-mwan gui can fit on the 8MB flash or do you still need to extend it ?

i think 8MB is adequate.. but i dont know the size of the mwan3 and luci-app-mwan..
the 1043ND is one of the best value for money router u can get..

1043ND should be able to work properly with mwan3 without any modification of the hardware

thanks blacktubi, i also checked WR1043ND v2 also supports the 320U with Rooter firmware.

WR1043ND v2 has better USB Power so LTE modems should not be an issue i think...

and my Asus RT-N14UHP router, if it works fine with 320U as well...

(Asus RT-N14UHP + Sierra 320U) --- LAN cabled to --- (WR1043ND + another Sierra 320U (with Rooter/OpenWRT))

and MWAN configured to use WR1043ND - USB as WAN(default) and static routed LAN from Asus router as set up as WAN2 = Win ?

yup u were right. just bought 1043ND and flashed latest rooter, even with mwan3 still got space in flash to install other stuff.

now just waiting for my 320U

Cool, didn't try ROOter for so long. Previously I having issue installing extra software/package on my 1043ND v1.

latest funnel web still do have issue,

like dairyman remove dual wan usb modem dialing protocol for cretain 8meg flash router

i have modem from Huawei E3276 attached to this router. by the way i flash this router with latest funnelweb firmware. my area has 4g coverage for celcom.

the problem is, when i connect directly the modem to my laptop i can get speed of 20-40mbps. when i attached the modem to the router, i can get speed max 12mbps. even though the coverage still LTE. is there any setting that need to configure to get real speed?

router is different from direct plug in USB,

u need to tweak router & modem facing angle, direction, make sure connect to same cell tower like u direct plug in USB,.. power adapter to router,..

and also some new mr3420 V2 board have issue on power supply,..

rooter is automatic bypass the old PPP dialing protocol method, so it wont bottleneck your speed,..

try to turn your router in standing, or different angle facing,..

and oh, Lan cable always better speed than Wifi connection too,.

all about feng shui !!

funnel web still have some bug issue,

if ur router is 4MB flash memory version, flash the last version huntsman is better, much stable,.

unless u got 8MB flash memory router, then funnelweb more useful

my mr3420 v2 suddendly turn off when connect to LTE. fyi, i just upgraded to latest firmware form tp-link website. Any one know how to solve this?

u should try to change higher power adapter and see , probably power supply not enough ,.

higher power adapter means change the power adapter of the router or usb?

original power adapter is 12V 1A , try to change to 12V 2A adapter and see any issue still,

if issue still persist, you need to claim warranty, ( might be your router board issue )

i want to ask what is the problem my tl mr 3420v2 will disconnect or something like reboot if i perform speedtest. this problem only occur for devices that connect using wireless and no problem for cat5. pls help. i using the latest of firmware from tp link website

your latest firmware it is 140309 version ?
did you adjust your wifi to 40MHz band ?
what is your Wifi setting ?

Hi Kojie,
i've the same problem. to solve this, you need to flash the custom firmware from http://ofmodemsandmen.com/. i have no issue of disconnection after that.
