: WZR-HP-G300-NH limited features with 3G connection
: ruibaeta September 23, 2011, 03:19:53 AM

Hello,

 

I have a WZR-HP-G300-NH? router with original user-friendly firmware, working like a charm, sharing a 3G connection with my 3G USB stick (Huawei E220).

 

Now, I have noticed that some features were automatically disabled just because I was using a 3G connection, including:

- ntp,

- dynamic dns,

- eco power-save scheduling (this one as a consequence of ntp service disabled).

 

If a 3G connection is a valid Internet connection, why are these features? ?disabled, as they only need an Internet connection???

 

I really want to use dynamic dns, so I can access my home network anywhere, and eco power-save scheduling? is very interesting.

 

Anyway, if I upgrade to the professional firmware (dd-wrt), will it be possible to overcome all these limitations? And the professional firmware? will work fine with my 3G USB stick at all?

 

Thank you in advance.

Rui Baeta

Hey,

 

this I found out allready. I guess you are using the user friedly firmware. An when you open there the LAN/Internet Tab an you choose there 3G Modem you will find completly down the setting which disable this Features when connected to 3G :-)

 

Just disable it and have fun :-)

 

Anyway the DD-WRT I would not choose, because there are still to much issues. There is still better to go with Open-WRT in my opinion.
