Hi everyone,

I own a Linksys E3200 (Tomato Firmware 1.28.0000 MIPSR2-3.3-138 K26) wich is capable of WAN-LAN throughput of 586Mbps according to this review (https://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-reviews/31499-new-to-the-charts-cisco-linksys-e3200-high-performance-dual-band-n-router?start=1). I upgraded to 400/25 Mbit connection but right now the router only manages a throughput of ~240/25 Mbit. Might this be an issue with Tomato firmware and can be fixed by flashing ddwrt or stock firmware? Would love to get my full speed without buying a new router.

I found this relativly new firmware (dd-wrt.v24-21061_NEWD-2_K2.6_big-nv60k.bin) for the E3200 in the DDWRT Router Database and would give it a try if this has better WAN->LAN throughput.

Decided to revert back to stock firmware and see how things will work. With stock I get full 400 Mbps passthrough without problems. Guess I have to give up on tomato/ddwrt to get full speed on my E3200 Sad

Or you could read up on the subject Smile

http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Linksys_E3200

Builds can be found at:
For K2.6: ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/betas/2017/10-20-2017-r33555/broadcom_K26/
For K3.x: ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/betas/2017/10-20-2017-r33555/broadcom_K3X/

Only K3.x builds have SFE (only in the most recent versions) which speeds up LAN<>WAN throughput.

(That said 400Mb/s seems rather high for a single core 500 MHz processor although it is MIPS and not ARM)
