TP-Link TL-MR3420 Ver:1.2

Previously bought some of this device for mobile broadband on Maxis & Celcom, seem to be quite good and stable.
It has almost identical hardware platform like the TL-WR841ND (Atheros AR724?@400Mhz, 4/32MB flash & RAM size), it even has a USB port and supported by OpenWRT.

At below RM90, I just bought another unit recently again from ViewNet to start another OpenWRT experiment ..... Smile
