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

Hi Alfie,

MT300N’s firmware works for MT300N-V2 also?

alzhao · 2017-07-31T18:26:55.000Z

@Venkata NO NO NO. Don’t try.

@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.

benr · 2017-09-08T08:20:40.000Z

I have a GL-MIFI that I just updated to 2.261. Now the devices does not turn off when pressing the power button, even if I hold it down for an extended period of time.

alzhao · 2017-09-12T17:24:48.000Z

Repeater manager has been improved for MT300N-V2, please check: 404 Page not found - GL.iNet

@Ben, contact cs@gl-inet.com

georgos · 2017-09-20T15:34:19.000Z

I am waiting for the lite version with two antennae. Strong signal is always a plus.

doki · 2017-10-11T16:04:36.000Z

is there a propose date to release the next firmware? I’m quite excited to used the shadowsocks UI.

squad_31 · 2017-10-17T22:41:22.000Z

Hi, plz add the mt300a-ext to stock again.

venkatch · 2017-11-22T00:45:35.000Z

@alzhao

Upload speed with MT300N-V2 is very low with firmware built from your LEDE source. I see similar results with mainstream LEDE too. However with your stock firmware, both upload and download speeds are good. If it is something known issue, can you please share the patches to resolve this?

venkatch · 2017-11-22T01:01:46.000Z

@alzhao

Update to my above post:

Upload speed is good when I use my mobile. I see this issue only when I use my laptop as the client running Fedora with Chipset : Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter

alzhao · 2017-11-22T22:22:29.000Z

For MT300N v2 we used MTK WiFi driver. The open source drive doesn’t work good and stable.
