@squad_31, pls upgrade manually. We disabled auto update by default because that may cause problem without the users attention.

@beatmag, for max openvpn encryption, AR300M-Lite around 17Mbps, MT300N-V2 around 13 Mbps

@alzhao, when will the MT300N-V2 become available at Amazon.de? My MT300A convinced me that the flexibility of these small devices should make them ideal for some home automation tasks I have in mind…

alzhao · 2017-07-24T00:20:33.000Z

@peter_ber, yes we are sending stock there. It should be available around 2 to 3 weeks.

crayiii · 2017-07-25T06:25:25.000Z

Will you have a version with external antennas?

squad_31 · 2017-07-29T02:51:25.000Z

ar3oomd is already soldout. any plan to continue this product?

alzhao · 2017-07-29T10:34:41.000Z

@squad_31, we are running out of the 5G module. Trying to get it back to stock. Anyway, we are redesigning AR300MD to a new product.

georgos · 2017-07-30T20:36:09.000Z

Nice idea for the lite version. Why not with external antennae?

>>> Nice idea for the lite version. Why not with external antennae?

The word “Lite” should have been a giveaway.

alzhao · 2017-07-31T09:50:48.000Z

Lite, means something (either hardware or software) has been removed.

venkatch · 2017-07-31T17:39:37.000Z

Hi Alfie,

MT300N’s firmware works for MT300N-V2 also?

alzhao · 2017-07-31T18:26:55.000Z

@Venkata NO NO NO. Don’t try.

luisblop · 2017-08-02T20:03:13.000Z

@alzhao I have a question about MT300-V2:
Since a while I use a mini router AR150 which is connected by cable to the internet at 100Mbit/sec and I can get (without vpn or any encryption) a maximum WiFi speed of 50Mbit/sec with radio mode 11n(150M)
Will it be an improvement in WiFi speed if I switch to a new MT300N-V2 using radio mode 11n(300M) ?

alzhao · 2017-08-03T13:51:34.000Z

Tested using iphone, MT300N-V2 should have a much better wifi performance than AR150.

mikechk · 2017-08-04T10:02:19.000Z

@alzhao any idea of timeline for the AR300MD redesigned product you mentioned?
Curious what kind of product you guys are thinking it will be?

rozwellk · 2017-08-04T12:51:59.000Z

I too would be interested in the redesigned AR300MD, you seem to have sold them before I could snag one. Do you have a notify list for new products? RozWellK@gmail.com

luisblop · 2017-08-18T18:52:47.000Z

Definitely I’ll try the new mango if it has better wifi than AR150

luisblop · 2017-08-18T18:54:02.000Z

@alzhao The new mango is sold out in Amazon across Europe

Please keep us informed when you are sending more stock of the MT300N-V2 to Amazon Europe

wabawaba · 2017-08-31T19:54:07.000Z

with relase of the MT300N-V2 will you guys still be supporting V1 with Firmware updates?

alzhao · 2017-09-01T12:42:20.000Z

@WabaWaba, yes. We will support for some time, generally for 1 year after we discontinue the product officially.

alpinejoe · 2017-09-04T02:43:56.000Z

V2 has bugs. I’m returning it as the non V2 I just got doesn’t have these issues:

-not autoconnecting to another AP when the current one goes away

in advanced-wireless, Luci works fine, I can see the connection and edit settings
summary screen and setup screen shows connection being made. The -V2 would just sit there, I had to go back and forth between menus to get the WAN connection info.
