I got MR3020 3 days ago, tried it with huawei E169 data card with idea sim, it worked fine [tested using wifi on my phone, not using ethernet on PC]

But its not working with BSNL EVDO Prithvi UE100 data card :( I entered all the details and left the APN blank as told by the reviewer in this link
*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/networking/176694-bsnl-prithvi-ue100-tp-link-mr3020-router-review.html

it shows "identifying" after i plug my data card, then after a few seconds shows 'identified' and starts connecting but still shows 0% signal. after a few seconds, it Gets stuck on 'connecting...' . then resets the data card and starts showing 'identifying' again.
