In this article, we will talk about the TL-MR3420 router and its compatibility with USB modems of different operators of Ukraine and Russia. The main problem is that TP-LINK TL-MR3420 (like any other router) It may not work with all modem and operators. And before buying this router, you must necessarily check it for compatibility with your modem. And even better, choose a modem from the list of compatible exactly for this router (If you are planning to buy it, or have already bought). It may turn out that after purchasing, connecting the modem and settings, the router simply will not see the modem, or refuse to connect to the Internet.

How to check whether a modem compatible with TP-LINK TL-MR3420?

On the official TP-LINK website there are lists of compatible modems specifically for this router. Everything is very confused there. Now I will show how to see these lists. They are different for Ukraine and Russia.

Important moment! If a the modem is in the list of compatible, then there is no 100% guarantee that everything will work. I already wrote above that much depends on the firmware and hardware version. Yes, and modem firmware may change.

But if modem is not in the list of compatibleThis does not mean that it is not supported by TL-MR3420. Just this modem was not checked in TP-LINK.

1 As far as I understand, it is for testing modems ukrainian operators You need to follow the link http://www.tp-link.ua/ru/download/tl-mr3420_v2.html#compatibility, choose your hardware version of the router (It is indicated from the bottom of the router himself, if you have not bought it, you can clarify the sellers, what kind of hardware version they have in stock). Further, on the Compatibility tab, click on the "List of Compatible 3G / 3.75G USB Modems" link.

Save the file to the computer, open through Excel and we are looking for the required modem in the list.

2 if you have modem russian operator , Click on the link http://www.tp-linkru.com/download/tl-mr3420_v2.html#compatibility. In the same way, choosing the hardware version of the router, on the Compatibility tab, click on the link.

A list of compatible modems opens. Where the modem model is indicated, the operator, etc., also carefully read the information that is at the beginning of the page.

What modem works exactly?

It works exactly with Verizon USB720. This is the Ukrainian Provider InterTelecom. It should also work with Huawei EC 306.

Models that I found in reviews (I can not guarantee compatibility): Verizon UM150-VW, LGVL600, Huawei E1550, Sierra598u, Pantech UM-185, Huawei E352, Novatel U760, Pantech UM190, PANTECH UM150.

In fact, TP-LINK TL-MR3420 supports a lot of modems.

How to set up TP-LINK TL-MR3420 with 3G / 4G USB modem?

Very simple. I wrote about this in the article :. Everything is equally there.

Brief instruction on the example of TL-MR3420:

Turn on the router. We connect a USB modem to it. Connecting in network cable, or via WiFi from the device from which we will configure.

Go to. Or according to the instructions.

In the "Network" section (WAN) - "3G / 4G" see if the router defined our modem, then choose the country, the operator and connect to the Internet. If the connection is set, we save the settings.

If the provider is not in the list, then the number, username and password are manually specified.

What to do if the TP-Link TL-MR3420 does not define the modem and does not connect to the Internet?

Many options, consider the most popular:

  1. If you connect a modem via a USB extension, then connect directly. Without extender.
  2. Update the TL-MR3420 router firmware. If you have updated, and the modem is not exactly determined, then try to put another firmware. Even more old. It very often helps.
  3. Write in support of TP-LINK. Let's describe in detail. Specify the hardware version of the router, modem model, operator. Perhaps they will tell you which firmware to install, or send you a bin file for your modem.
  4. If the modem is determined, but there is no connection to the Internet, then first check if there is a connection via a modem from a computer. Make sure you correctly indicate the parameters in the router settings. And there is a coverage of your operator in the place where the router is installed.
