More Cheap Meteoplug Clients
Posted: Sun Jan 13, 2013 10:17 am
To give you more options I expanded the list of Meteoplug client platforms to three models that all should make the good old bifferboards completely obsolete:
- TP-Link TL-MR3020 is a 30-40 Euro router equipped with LAN, WLAN and one USB port. USB 1.x devices will need a USB hub in between, as the device just can handle USB 2.0 correctly.
- TP-Link WR703N is a sub 30 Euro router with identical features as the MR3020 but in a smaller housing and it is exclusively made for Chinese market. You get the unit (without CE, FCC, RoHS certificate) on ebay. I can't say if using these in EU/US is compliant to local regulations, but from a technical pont of view it is an extremely interesting and cost effective option. Please don't mix up the WR703N with the widely sold WR702N, which is not capable of running Meteoplug.
- ASUS WL-330N3G is a 40 Euro router equipped with LAN/WLAN and a USB port that can handle all USB 1.x and 2.0 standards, so there is no need for a USB hub. Firmware flashing needs a PC and some TFTP interaction, but it is still pretty simple. Its predecessor, named WL-330N, is not capable of running Meteoplug, so please look out not to buy the wrong one.
