introduction tp-link mr3020 openwrt

hello guys... this is my second blog... i will introduce you with the item i brought yesterday. It was an portable wireless mini router access point type tp-link TL-MR3020. this thing can connect multiple device like smartphone, android, blackberry, ipod, ipad, tablets, laptop and all other thing which have Wi-Fi enabled device (etc: a pc with usb wireless plug in it) and share the internet connection. And if you haven't know  tp-link TL-MR3020 does support wireless n router mode.

There are 3 main mode that can we used in this device.


  • 3g router mode
  • WISP client router mode
  • Access point mode

As for 3g router mode it's mainly used for sharing mobile internet connection to area on your place (shared via Wi-Fi).we need a 3g usb modem with any kind of operator that support internet connection like WCDMA /  HSDPA to make this work.  It  can be used with any gsm / cdma operator.  


for WISP client router mode, the devices is being used for catch and forwarding internet connection from another access point connection. Also it can be used for dialling pppoe connection then shared it via wifi.

and last the access point mode. it's used for bridge an ethernet cable and wi fi connection so it become connected. (we can share internet connection from cable to wifi so everyone in the area can connected via wifi).


the size is also very small that we can carry it anyhere on our pocket.



as for myself, why i buy this router...? it's because i want to tweak this access point portable and changed its firmware to openwrt / linux. for a 30$ access point can compete with devices like mikrotik/cisco wireless 70$++ because its sooooooo~~ many  feature when the firmware changed into openwrt


the tweak possibilities is unlimited because it depends on the developper of the linux firmware itself . as it can be act as an


  • firewall
  • qos limit streaming downloading so we can keep the latency to play games online
  • port forwarding  (if we want to make a server in our private lan so it can be accessed from outside )
  • real time monitoring bandwidth, input output, throughput lan
  • act as a vpn client / server
  • active torrent client (we can use our usb or  external hardisk to save the files )
  • remote torrent (torrent box / seedbox)
  • traffic shapping
  • load balance between two or more usb modem / wifi / wired isp network  
  • voip server (voice over internet) 
  • file sharing
  • usb via ip
  • printer sharing via wifi
  • webcam streaming via wifi
  • web server + php and ajax and captive portal  (making hotspot authentication)
  • cloud computing server with owncloud
  • ssh access / tunneling protocol
  • ftp server
  • dhcp server

and other many feature that you can read the rest at  http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/start.

and i recomend to see this link http://wiki.daviddarts.com/PirateBox


really great isnt it... and all of that feature can be installed on one devices. that works with a 5 VDC/ 1.0 A adapter :) :)  :)


1 word from me, awesome.....  :)


you can first read my post on  http://tplinkmr3020.blogspot.com/2012/08/basic1-choosing-openwrt-version.html to start flashing and changing the firmware to openwrt....


happy tweaking guys ;)

    thanks gan, ane baca2 tetep gak donk soalnya basicnya dari linux.
    ane gak pernah pake linux jadi gak paham,makanya ane minta tutor bhsa Indonesia biar lebih mudah. kalo bisa secara urut atau kalo gak agan kasih file yang langsung instal aja misalnya openwrt+UI+yg lain (tp yang udah stabil gan). ane juga udah baca tutor di kaskus tp disana malah jd bingung soalnya khusus mr3220/3420,disamping itu disitu dikasih byk link yg bikin ane tambah bingung.

  12. i'm breaking my mr3020 while doing usb tethering experiment x_x. The ip is locked. i cant' access anymore.


    now going to hard reset my router. i will try again the experiment tommorow....


    btw after i browsing i've found one wiki that described the process to tethering android to our devices.

    http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/usb.tethering.

  13. If you do hard reset. can you see if the original firmware can do USB tethering? probably not. So with openwrt should be possible. nice!

    3. Chose static IP click next

    5. Configure the SSID name and the password click next

    6. Save and reboot.

    i have done as instrusted above
    with out missing any steps

    As soon the configuration is done i have the lan cable from the system and then i have connected the cable connectiion
    provided by the Internetprovider and connected to the device .

    i left the option in the 3g mode itself
    and tried to connect using my ipad and wifi enabled mobile device and when i click on connect
    it says unable to connect on both device .

    And i have tried connecting changin the mode to AP also but the same problem occurs

    And i want to inform that when i give the settings and click on reboot button on the setting page the device get restarted
    and the refreshes but the tplink page doesnt open again .
