Hi. I flashed my router to DD-WRT and unfortunately found it to be quite slow. Original AsusWRT and Merlin both connected at full speed, but DD-WRT shows only 173 Mbps.
I have search the internet about other similar topics, but none of those helped me. Whatever I choose in Wireless settings keeps the connection slow.
Also, I can't change the 5GHz wireless channel number.

Hi there,
I am currently experience the same issue and a big drop of speed. Did you manage to solve it or revert back to original Asus firmware? It seems that I am unable to revert back no matter what I try.

Hi. I never solved this issue and finally flashed the original ASUS firmware and haven't played with this router anymore since. Reverting back was not a problem for me, renamed the original firmware image's file extension and flashed it.

Thank you for your response. I am unable to revert it back as it says successfully upgraded but in the end it still remains as DDWRT.
Can you kindly advise me on the steps you took to revert? What did you rename the original firmware image file extension to?
Seeking your kind advise, I am not really a techy here.
Also, which version is the original stock firmware? Or the latest firmware will also do?
