The WIKI for our Redback ROOTer firmware is here.

Our amazing programmer, Dairyman, is Canadian.

I'd be 100% confident that we'd have the MF821D up and running in a jiffy, and at full 4G speeds as we support any 4G modem that Dovado can.

The only road-bock atm, is waiting for the OpenWRT TPLINK TL MR3420 V2 official release. Time frame a bit indeterminate at this moment.

Do you have the earlier MR3420 V1? It'll be good to fly!

Cheers

Hi,

Good news.

We now have a BlackWidow release that fully supports the MR3420 V2 and the ZTE MF821D, Huawei E3276 and other late model usb modems.

Follow the links from the Whirlpool WIKI.

A couple of words of warning for users with the E3276 (and other late model 3G/ 4G modems), that we have found along the way:

1. The E3276 may under some conditions (generally low signal levels), draw more power than the router can provide. This may lead to unstable performance and connection. The solution is a USB Y - Cable and an additional USB 5v supply.

2. The E3276 may under certain conditions require a USB cable with ferrite bead 'interference isolation' to ensure stable operation.

Cheers

John k

PS Please report back with your performance results and please drop into the BlackWidow support thread HERE as there are many exciting developments on the way. We know there are many downloads of this software from all over the world, so we would love to hear the feed-back.
