3G/HSPA/LTE Routers

[Romito]

Also one has Wireless N+150Mbps and the other has Wireless N+300Mbps

[Madhawk]

If I am not mistaken the difference between MBR 3220 & MBR 3420... MBR 3220 only allows for 3G/Dongle USB modem to be connected and MBR 3420 if not mistaken for DSL and 3G modem(Fail Over)

They both have the fail over feature.

Also one has Wireless N+150Mbps and the other has Wireless N+300Mbps

Yes, that's the difference, and the MR3220 has one less antennae.

So the MR3220 is more than enough to use it with a E1820 and iBurst modem in the same house?

Thanks gentlemen...

Also compare both specifications MR 3220 and MBR 3420

Thanks Richard... I emailed Uniterm Direct and they have stock of the MR3220, still R387 for myBB members.

I'll get one tomorrow.

Tell me how things go with the router, and if I can pick it up later on at your place and do my own testing please as my RSSI is up to no good.

The router is not going to sort out your RSSI....What you need is this to sort out your signal issue.

Well, depends. If he's in the basement then putting the router upstairs maybe by a window could improve things drastically.

I found out which base station I connect 2 and I am very disappointed as the base station seems to be a couple of KM away from me.. (If the correct location was given) will find out later where the other base station I connect 2 are located.

Hey guys

Couple of things......

1. We've got beta firmware from TP-Link which should hopefully solve these Cell-C issues, if not we'll need the syslog files which can be sent to tp-link@dbg.co.za, the links off our website are here MR34020 and MR3220

2. I saw a question being asked about the differences between the MR3420 and MR3220, in terms of features they are 100% identical, the only difference between the two is that the MR3420 is Wireless-N (supporting WI-FI speeds of up to 300mbps) and the MR3220 is Lite-N (support speeds of up to 150mbps) please note these are the WI-FI speeds and not the 3G speeds, 3G performance will be identical on both units.

3. We've received stock of the high gain (11dBi) 3G antenna's and are doing a promotion on them, I'm pleased to say that we've once again got a special for the MyBB members, we're doing the kit which includes the MR3420, LPDA11A antenna, 3G coupler and UC100 for R899 including VAT, this price is exclusive to MyBB members and the UC100 is also only thrown in with the kit for MyBB members. To order send an email to sales@dbg.co.za stock code is MR3420-LPDA and mention that you're a MyBB member (with your user name) and you'll qualify for this great bundle at the discounted price. This bundle retails for around R1300 including vat, price will be valid while stocks last.

Or you can get yourself one of these

Thanks for the reply.

Very nice, thanks. For those that don't know what the kit looks like, it looks like THIS plus the UC100.

Anyone tried this to see if it works with CellC HSPA+?

With these specs, I'd say not, but then the regional differances might make allowances for changes ...

Thanks Kernel - tried the new firmware - it's still taking EIGHTY seconds to identify the modem before connecting, which makes things extremely slow!

[Professor Farnsworth]

No, what firmware are you on? Mine says:
Firmware Version: 3.11.11 Build 101104 Rel.70817n

Firmware version 3.12.2 Build 110111 Rel.33555n is out and can be downloaded here.

If its a bug with the router, maybe a firmware upgrade could help.
