So, begrudgingly I make this post, after exhausting all solutions posted on here already. So first a brief description of the problem.
Using Linksys e2500 on a 20mbit home connection. On computers connected via LAN speeds are 35mbps/6mbps (they have always been above what we are supposed to get)
However via wireless, speeds are maybe 4mbps/6mbps. So over both LAN and wireless upload speeds are good, but on wireless download, speeds are very poor.
Specs:
Linksys e2500 (bought refurbished from Newegg) with the 18946 big nv60k build.
Useful info:
I flashed the trailed (mini-e2500) build first, then the 18774 build. Then upgraded to see if that fixed the problem, it did not.
Did 30/30/30 before and after each re-flash
Waited 10 minutes after starting upgrade to mess with router.
Things I have tried:
Using different wireless modes (G,NG,N)
Manually setting MIMO transfer rates, this causes wireless computers to drop the signal.
Different radio power settings
Different Channels (6,9,11)
Changing MTU size (causes dropped signal)
Different Channel Width
Power cycling, and more 30/30/30 resets
QOS is disabled
Disabled ipv6 (made slower)
And probably other things that I cannot remember.
I know that people have this router working with good speeds even without 5Ghz support. I should easily be able to max out 35mbps.
So I beseech you more knowledgeable than I, to help me defeat this stubborn router.

Two things,
First enable bluetooth co-existance mode in advanced wireless settings... set it to preemptive
then goto administration execute commands and type this and run:
I checked out that device for 36 bucks on newegg for 600mw that is pretty cool. I fired up my e2500 tonight and tested with a engenuis client simular to yours
here was my test results.... I was factory defaulted running a trailed build of dd-wrt 19273

I am in the *exact* same boat as xDGDZEx. I have tried more things then I can even remember, including resetting several times. I have two laptops and two cell phones all giving me < 1.5Mb/s speed with a 30+Mb/s internet connection.
It's so bad that the only time I allow my cell phone to connect to wifi is if I need to download something more than my carrier likes.
I am open to trying anything at this point.
As a side note, I am running two e2500's, both dd-wrt'd, with the second in client-bridge mode.
Oh and I tried Fractal's instructions above, but with no success.
I am pm'ing you (Fractal) now. Thanks for all you are doing!!!
Seeing the exact same issue on 2 E3000s since Friday. I've been using Tomato or DD-WRT for years and never had this issue. On wired connections or a test Belkin wireless I can get a normal 30/5 consistently. However on the E3000s with Tomato, DD-WRT, and Linksys 2.4GHz averages 1-3 Down/3-5 Up and 5.8GHz averages 17/3-5. I've tried re flashing, switching firmwares, and scouring the house for interference. Will try my E2000 tomorrow and the E4200 in a few days. This is just really odd.
