I recently puchased a TP-Link MR3420 3g/4g router which came with the latest firmware.However i'm having troubles connecting my Micromax MMX-310G modem(package deal from aircel) with it.
Whenever i put an aircel sim in the modem,the router works properly. However any other SIM fails to work.
Again my MTNL 3g Jadoo modem isn't detected at all.
I've tried downgrading firmwares but to no avail.
Any help???

I did and this was their reply "The universal data cards are not support our 3G routers."
Despite the fact that support for Micromax MMX 310G is mentioned in this page 3G/4G USB Modem Compatibility List for TL-MR3420 - Welcome to TP-LINK.
Moreover now I'm able to use only aircel SIMs with other SIMs it simply shows "unplugged"
