How do you go about changing that amber light to blue? Is it done through a command? I couldn't find anything off-hand in a quick forum search, and couldn't find a setting in dd-wrt.

That command turns my cisco LED on the E3000 to blue =)


All that command did was reboot my E3000. Amber light is still amber.

You did hit Enter after each command?

I just tested it on both a real e3000 & a converted v2.. It works.

Initially, I went to Administration -> Commands. I copied and pasted those lines above, then hit "Run Commands". All it did was reboot and the amber light still is amber.

I then typed in each line, and hit the Enter key after each line. That did nothing when I hit "Run Commands". I left off hitting the Enter key after "reboot", and then hit "Run Commands". It rebooted the router, but the amber light is still amber. What am I not doing correctly?

enter each command one at a time and hit "run commands".

nvram set connblue=1 [run command]
nvram commit [run command]
reboot [run command]

Thank you! For future reference, unless I click "Save Custom Script", must all commands be entered/run 1 line at a time?

I take that back... my connections keep dropping all over the place. I keep getting lag in a java based chatroom i go to (someimtes i lose the connection entirely) and AOL Instant Messenger looses connection everyone so often too.

I'm using a wired gigabit connection from my PC to port 1 of the router. I've never had issues like this before this router...



Any ideas? I could really use some help on this...

Check and make sure your WAN lease isn't expiring.

force the nic on your rig down from 1000mbs to 100. See if that helps. I know what you are thinking..

I'm sure you've tried this already, but have you checked for updates to the cards driver (directly from manufacturers site) and ensured any power savinng options are turned off? I was having issues with Intel wireless N on my laptop and this fixed the issue for me.

Out of curiousity, what are the fastest wired speeds everyone has seen with the E3000's gigabit lan and a switch?

I upgraded my switch with a netgear GS108 last week and use it with an E3000 in gateway and router mode. I'm very impressed with the data transfer of PC1 to router to PC2 on switch; 500 Mbps is the fastest I've seen so far using a 700MB test file. I consistently get 460mbps average after several stop watch timed runs! Can I get a faster connection? If so, how? Two E3000's?

I am seeing this too. Since I never used my e3000 without DD-WRT, I can't say for certain that it is a problem with DD-WRT, but I was not having this problem with my previous Belkin N-router or Linksys WRT54GS

I am running DD-WRT v24-sp2 (07/28/10) big - build 14853M NEWD-2 K2.6 Eko

I suppose I should also add that my laptop doesn't drop out at work, or when tethered to my Android phone via Wifi, so I do surmise that it is due to some interaction with either DD-WRT or the e3000 itself.

I found two useful resources that may help with the dropouts:

http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=67836
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Wireless-N_Configuration#20_MHz_vs_40_MHz

I have an Intel WifiLink 5100 card in my laptop, so the first one is pertinent if you have Intel wireless networking. The second link talks about WiFi-N and some requirements/best practices. I changed my N radio to 5GHz only, 40Mhz, and WPA2/AES only, where before I was using 5GHZ only, Auto, WPA2/AES+TKIP. Secondly, I changed my G radio to G-only, 20MHz, channel 1. So far so good, but it has only been 20 minutes Smile. The thing is earlier this evening before making those changes, it would drop out every 10 minutes! I hope this helps, and I will report back if things change!

Been running DD-WRT v24-sp2 (07/28/10) std-usb-ftp - build 14853M NEWD-2 K2.6 Eko for 3 days straight on my converted to E2000 and have to say this build is very smooth. Have not had any problems so far, great work dd-wrt team! Smile
