Hi all,

I'm building my own Chaos Calmer 15.05 firmwares for TP-Link MR3020 and WR703N routers with this tutorial: http://ofmodemsandmen.com/build.html

I can revert to any openWRT firmware without trouble, even via LuCI or CLI.
But I can't upgrade directly to my own firmware from an original TP-Link firmware...
I must to upgrade with the official openWRT CC firmware before install mine.

I use this method to revert from OpenWRT to original here: http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl- … l_firmware

Did I miss a setting in menuconfig?

OK... the name of the firmware is 62 characters max with TP-Link OEM web interface...

Hello all

I am planning to buy TP-Link MR3020 after bricking Dlink dir 505
My main use will be for torrent transmission.Is it stable?Can i download big torrent like 30gb with this router?

Please experienced user please reply.

Thanks

I wonder how you managed that, the DIR-505 is virtually unbrickable due to its Emergency Flash mode.

My personal experience: No. It can work -- but there are no guarantees, and it will most certainly be hard to configure. And even then, it will barely run, certainly not great.

My personal recommendation: If you want good transmission performance (and in general, hard disk performance, you probably want to access the files after downloading, no?) don't bother fiddling around with a small consumer router, and an external hard disk -- get a NAS.

My TL-MR3020 is bricked, the network & serial port were not working,  suspected u-boot corrupted.

I'm able to copy the third-party u-boot to the router with my CH341 ISP programmer, and the OpenWrt firmware is flashed to the router using the u-boot. Now, everything is working except the wireless.

Does anybody have a backup of the art partition of the TL-MR3020?

u don't need to overwrite your art, your wifi is not working cuz it can't find proper mac address which was damaged after u-boot overwriting, just hardcode mac address in the /etc/config/wireless and ull get a working wifi

I have made a mistake before copy the u-boot to the flash chip.  When I click on the erase button on the ISP programmer software, it just wipe out everything.

Thank you, I will try and see.

I have seen there are CC firmware for MR3020. I have extroot on my router (AA), I am worrying that if I choose to update the firmware from AA to CC, will I have to re-do extroot again?

There are two firmware listed in the device wiki page i.e. factory.bin and sysupgrade.bin. What is the difference?

Factory binary is the one you should use while moving from the original device firmware (in this case the TP-Link original one) to OpenWRT for the first time.
The sysupgrade is the one you can use while already having the installation and want to upgrade from older OpenWRT to newer.

However, the extRoot is, I believe, a problem - you'd have to upgrade the part on the router itself and then upgrade the extRoot installation (including packages), too. But I'm no expert, I rarely use extRoot (e.g. twice) and never did an actual upgrade this way.

When upgrading OpenWrt, a fresh extrooting is required.

I have a problem about aria2 download
I can use aria downloader for normal download, except for video
It's always error and cannot download,even from direct download link
It can only download youtube video through keepvid.com
For example,aria2downloader cannot download this link

About setting,i haven't change anything so is there something that i have to change so i can download from link like above?

Hi Everyone,

This is going to be a longer type post but it's to help beginners with with this device (maybe other similar devices) connect to the internet with a USB modem/phone. If you don't need this or don't want to positively add to this, then just go to the next post.

I'm not an expert. I like technology and I'm happy to learn new things but I've found both extremes on this site when looking at others that have sought help. Those that are happy to help and those that think they are superior to anyone who doesn't know as much as them about networking and treat people like dirt. This later type of people make it hard for people like me, for which there are many, to learn. It makes it almost impossible to consider asking for help for fear of being treated like an idiot. So this post is for all us "idiots". As I'm not an expert, it may contain errors, and no I won't be updating this with new information as OpenWRT gets updated.

My particular scenario is to connect my Boostmobile HTC Desire 510 with a USB tether to my MR3020. Your MR3020 won't transmit WiFi (can't fit it all in the 4mb with this method) but you can just use an AP to get your WiFi up and going.

Let's begin.

1. You must have an existing working internet connection that you can plug your computer into with an Ethernet cable. You need to know your existing gateway and custom DNS if you have one. If you don't know what your custom DNS is, then you probably don't need one.
2. Flash your router with this release of OpenWrt. kudos to LeJeko. https://github.com/LeJeko/OpenWRT-USB-T … s/tag/v5.1 Either get the factory bin if you are flashing straight from stock or the sysupgrade if you are upgrading an existing OpenWrt. This step is simply accomplished by using the GUIs to flash/upgrade firmware.
3. Root your phone. Use xda to get this done. Follow this guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire- … y-t2988292.
4. Flash a custom rom to your phone. Use xda to get this done. Here is a link to the downloads, http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/p … #downloads. You'll also need this one, http://androidforums.com/threads/boost- … od.840501/. Follow post #608 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire- … st61749793 to do it in the right order. You will have to remove the battery to reboot the phone after each flash when the phone is attempting to boot up, i.e. on the white screen with the HTC logo.
5. Connect your phone to the MR3020 with your USB cable.
6. On your phone go to Settings, More, Tethering & portable hotspot, then tick the box next to USB tethering.
7. Open up a browser and go to 192.168.0.254 (your new gateway). Set up a password and click "Save & Apply". Go to Network, Interfaces to see your new DNS next to the USB interface.

That's it. This is about the forth or fifth different method I've tried to get this to work. Turns out both the stock rom on the phone and the easytether app were causing problems. That may make me sound like an idiot but I'm not a network engineer and don't live in command prompt world which is what a lot of the help is written in.

If you are going down this rout to replace your cable internet with cellular internet at home, also use Network Speed Signal Booster from MCStealth Apps to speed up your connection and Network Cell Info from Wilysis to find the best signal in your home.

If this method does work for you, please consider supporting OpenWrt, MCStealth Apps, and Wilysis, without them we'd be screwed.

Cheers
Sean

Does anyone know if the MR3020 or WR703N work with 2G (GSM/GPRS@ 1800/2600mhz)?
(More specifically, I want to use a ZTE A356 or ZTE MF110 USB SIM MODEM, as they're on the supported list).

I ask because all of the retailers in my area are telling me that these 2 routers (3020 and 703N) are "3G/4G only", and will not work with 2G. However, the SIM card modem that I have is on the supported list for the router. So it should support the USB modem, but I'm unsure if it will support the actual data mode (2G) in the SIM.

Anyone know?

Yes it works. I'm writing this through MR3020 and 2G.

Hi Wingman2k, can I use this firmware on TL-MR3420 V1.2?

Can you build this image from openwrt 15.05.1?
thank you

@somplak sure here you go, no problem. Same packages as last time.

make image PROFILE=TLMR3020 PACKAGES="block-mount kmod-fs-ext4 kmod-usb-storage"

openwrt-15.05.1-ar71xx-generic-tl-mr3020-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
openwrt-15.05.1-ar71xx-generic-tl-mr3020-v1-squashfs-factory.bin

btw the switch script with symlink to /etc/config/, does work again in 15.05.1 so you can use that one if you prefer.

Hi all.

I want to create a dedicated point-to point link using two MR3020s, each equipped with a USB wifi unit with external antenna. One MR3020 has to repeat a local AP from the internals to the external unit, the other MR3020 will provide the reverse function, receiving the wifi signal via the external unit and repeating via the internals. Is this possible?

I've spent some time looking for a solution but without much luck.

Thanks in advance for all replies.

I wrote Rooter 3020 but now I do not have wifi, Lan connects with ip 192.168.1.1 but can not get into it to give it ip nonexistent page without connecting to the net. In UART can enter but do not know how to WIFI enable site and how to configure it.
I am a beginner and do not know anything so if someone can explain to me step by step how to activate wifi on your tx / rx UART because there have access.
Thank you in advance for your help.

wifi is disabled by default, in terminal just type, wifi up and it will work, or just go login to routers admin web page (luci) and go to Networking >> WiFi, edit the exsiting OpenWRT AP setting to your liking and enable it.

*** WiFi Dongle for WWAN @ MR3020***
Hi,
I only have rudimentary knowledge of OpenWRT and I operate mostly via Luci, unless guided.

I am trying to set up a WiFi dongle (TP-Link WN722N) as second radio -- to provide uplink for the wlan I build on internal wifi.
I have installed kmod-ath9k-htc so the card is recognised:

But now I got stuck -- perhaps because lack of sleep. How should I proceed further, to make it visible as separate WiFi interface, to scan for external WiFi and add as WWAN?
Googling around did not work.
I apologise if the question is lame -- this work is a part of big social project (refugee support in Greece) and I am not an IT pro. Just trying to solve the problem.
