I manages to set my WiFi to have the 5GHz at 1300 and the 2.45GHz at 600.
However, as soon as a Wifi client connectes, such as mobile device, the transmit speed drops to 72/65/83 on the 2.4GHz(when it's iphone 4) and to 433 on the 5Ghz when it's my Nexus5 device.
Is this the correct behaviour?
In addition, how can I turn off the USB LEDs? They are constantly on.
It has to share its time with other devices so say you have a wireless G connected that device will eat speed since it is slower.
So seeing a 72Mbps when the iphone4 is connected, means that it transmits at that speed for that device?
And if I then connected another device to the same channel, will the reported speed increase?
What I'm trying to understand is: when nothing is connected (wifi only) it reports the maximum speed allowed, and when devices are connected, it reports on the sum of current speed being used by all WiFi devices?

you will have to enable or disable a gpio example:
Code:
gpio enable 3
WATCH OUT! this can reset your router. (maybe even brick it but I don't think so.)
How do i run it? and isn't there a safer way that is implemented in the flahsed firmware?
Do you have some info regarding my 1st question?
I'm a bit lost when it comes to router setup with DD-WRT.
I just flashed it yesterday for the 1st time, hoping is will resolve the constant error I'm getting with Win8.1 "Your DNS Server is not responding"
gil,
on the 5ghz yes this is correct for your device.
It has to do with both the router AND the client.
both have to support ac (yours does) but it also has to have multiple antenna while also bonding channels.
The router will support up to 1300 but the reality is there are no clients (short of using another ac1300 router as a bridge) that support the antenna & channel bonding required for that rate.

correct.
When the router first boots or is configured for AC & channel bonding you will see the router advertise 1300.
It will drop down to whatever connects. _________________ Router currently owned:

no, it doesnt display the total connection rate.
Just the highest current connected device rate.
Use the system information page. It shows you per client connection rates under the wireless client section part way down the list. _________________ Router currently owned:

AFAIK, iPhone4 is N capable and my 2.4Ghz is set to N-Only mode. So how could that be right?

Thanks Dave.

72 is acceptable because the iphone and router mutually agreed to run 802.11g at that rate
433 is acceptable on the Nexus5 and router because they mutually agreed to run 802.11n at that rate.
So just to be clear, there's nothing I need to do on the Wireless setting page? Setting wise, am I good?
Given that when nothing is connected, the router reports maximum capable rates.
