  10. My router R36 and AWUS036h not work well together. I use an external antenna to relay the internet signal. Power of the external wifi signal about 80/100, which is very good. The router is always connected (according to the log) with a source of the internet, but \”connekted status\” of all-time shows red \”Disconnected/Connecting…\” After 5-7 reboots finally able to see the blue \”connected\”! So may take a day, but then again \”Disconnected / Connecting…\” I tried it on many different networks (WEP, WPA, different power and so on), the same result. Perhaps you know why? Thanks in advance.

  22. problem with connection R36-AWUS036NHAll installed and started just by description. But unfortunately there is a problem – the router hangs after 3-5 minutes of work. That is, it turns on, runs the internal wifi network that connects to an external WiFi network, for 1-3 minutes working on and off (even if no one is connected to the internal network)!Without connecting AWUS036NH everything works fine (that is, the router runs an internal network, and works fine), but when I switch on the router connected to AWUS036NH – is only 3-5 minutes.

  24. Hiis there a serial port in R36?There is what looks like serial in one side of the pcb but I don't know the pinout.Counting the square solder pad as No1, No4(last) must be gnd. That's all I know.Also, I don't know the output level (3.3v or what).Any chances for a JTAG that I cannot see?I am asking all these prior to experimenting with DD-WRT. In case I try, I will naturally be responsible for any damage to the device.Thanks.

I have connected it to my home network which I get 30Mbps (down) & 5Mbps (up) using my laptop wifi card or in a Linux VM using the alfa card. When I connect to the R36 via the network port (lan) on the R36 or over the wifi I only get 2-5Mbps (down) & 1 (up).Link Quality 92%Signal Strength -45 dBm (100%)Connection Speed 54 Mb/sAny ideas how I can get faster speeds?Would upgrading to AWUS036NHR V.2 and upgrading R36 firmware help?
