The router and the firmware work great, except for a small detail related to the WAN por speed.
I noticed some days ago, that my internet was only woking at 5Mbps, so I decided to investigate this and I concluded the problem is kinda related to my ADSL modem (Netgear DM111P v2).
The modem is currently working in bridge mode and my router is getting an IP via automatic configuration with DHCP (the ISP does no require any authentication).
If I connect the modem directly to my computer I get also about 5 Mbps of download speed. However if I set my computer to force the ethernet into 100Mbps half-duplex. I get up to 19Mbps.
I tried to change the port speed at Setup > VLANs with:
Auto-Negotiate: Off
Gigabit: Off
Full Speed: On
Full Duplex: Off
Enabled: On
However after a power cycle on both devices I can't get any more than 5 Mbps.
Why is this happening? Why does my computer is able to force the port into 100Mbps half-duplex and everything works fine and at the router seems like its still working at a lower speed?
Is there a way I can check the REAL speed of the WAN port over SSH?
This smells of ethernet cable problem, half duplex uses the same pair in the cable for both rx and tx while full duplex uses one pair for rx and another pair for tx. _________________ Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!

Well... The cable I'm using on the router => modem is different from the cable using at computer => modem and the issue is the same in both cables.
Also, none of that possible explains why my computer is able to force the modem into the right mode but not the router...
Seems like when the modem is connected to the router it works at 10Mbps only (not sure...). The only think I know is that on the computer if I force 100Mbps in half duplex I get 19Mbps.
