I'm having DD-WRT performance problems with WZR-HP-AG300H. In short, when I'm directly connected to the internet from my PC I'm getting 350mb/s and when running through the WZR I'm only getting 249 max.
I've tried upgrading to the latest beta firmware 09-11-2015-r27805, but it breaks my wireless configuration (found out that this is a known issue). I back dated through TFTP to 06-22-2015-r27413 and things are stable again, but problem still exists.
Is anyone else running into such a large decrease in performance? )I can let 30 or 40 go (crazy right...used to be my max speed), but losing over 100 seems to be a little excessive.
Are there any settings I should be turning on/off? Q0S is off.

That's about the max DD-WRT can do on that router. It's because DD-WRT uses software for NAT translations. Stock firmwares sometimes use hardware NAT, significantly faster.

This doesn't make sense. Why would the CPU have to constantly check the NAT if my single computer was downloading one big file from a single source, say microsoft.com? _________________ WRT54GL v1.1 - DD-WRT v24-sp2 (04/07/12) vpn-small (SVN revision 18946M NEWD Eko)

I doesn't "check" NAT, it constantly uses it. The external WAN side and the internal LAN side are two different networks. CPU does NAT between them continuously. _________________ THERE ARE NO STRANGERS HERE; ONLY FRIENDS YOU HAVEN'T YET MET.
