Newbie question about MR3420

Post by yudda »

Hi folks! I have read a very lot of 3d to find a solution to my issue but without success. I own a TPlink MR3420 v2 and I would like associate it to a USB key Huawei E372. I flashed the router with the last version of Gargoyle and it works fine. In spite of this, I cannot see the 3G connection. The USB key lamps green or blu. What can I do? Thank you very much for your help!

That router does not have enough memory space to include USB support.
You might like to try an older customised version from here:
http://dl.eko.one.pl/gargoyle-pl/attitu ... nt/ar71xx/

which has been stripped back to enable enough room for usb support.
make sure to get the "en" version if you want English instead of polish.

Thank you very much and sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately I found another issue. Router doesn't go wireless anymore. I tried also the 30/30/30 hard reset but nothing. I'm abroad and own just a new macbook without ethernet plug... :evil:

See here: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=8505

And in particular:
30/30/30 DOES NOTHING ON GARGOYLE
You're not going to be able to do much without an Ethernet port.

Use that one if you are upgrading from gargoyle/openwrt
