Help with Linksys WRT54GS v5.1
 

Hello,

Iv recently upgraded my firmware to DD-WRT v23sp1. For some reason i am not capable of recieving a speed of more than 5mb(i have the XL 20mb package), i have tried changing channels and etc but to no avail. Anyone with experience on DD-WRT care to help?

Thanks
Kenny

Can you get over 5Mb if you connect direct to the modem by removing to router?

Yes, i recieve around 18-20mb when connected directly via ethernet. So its a problem with my router im guessing.

Are you downloading from a site or are you doing peer 2 peer file sharing via something like emule?

I sometimes use torrents, but iv just been running test's via gamefiles.blueyonder.co.uk and im recieving a shoddy connection. Im just wondering if anyone knows any tweaks for the DD-WRT firmware?

May be worth looking a solution 1 on this page. I had a similar problem when i started using the DD-WRT firmware however my problem was only on P2P and was a slowdown rather than instantly slow

I recommend you check your PC TCP/IP settings especially RWIN using http://www.speedguide.net/analyzer.php
when connected by to modem or router by wired/wireless
before blaming the router/firmware - although the speed you quote could mean the link between the router and modem is only 10Mb/s half duplex - it should be 100Mb/s and not an issue!

im running a gs v6 with 24beta firmware and get upto about 11meg from it on wireless (but thats the house causing it)

did you reset the router when you flashed it?
what speed you connecting to the router at with the wireless?

Im all sorted now, managed to get 18mb out of it this morning, i just put the xmit power levels up to around 70 and also changed the rx and tx antenna's to left and right. Thanks
