Hello everyone, this is my first post here so go easy on me. If there is something I am not going right or including in my thread/post please let me know.
I have recently upgraded/purchased a Buffalo WZR-HP-AG300H (US Version).
I have previously been using the WHR-G125 with the Stable version of DD-WRT.
I tried to copy and paste most the the settings from the old router to the new router, however some things now do not work.
For clarification I am using DD-WRT (Community version) Build 16994 on the WZR-HP-AG300H.
The main thing that is not working it access to my modem configuration.
I cannot access the Internet (WAN), I can however access the Modem configuration.
Previously on the old router, I could access the internet and the modem config, but not with the new build/router.
Second question is:
Moving from Wireless G to Wireless N, I expected to have a significant speed increase using wireless. But I have found that even though, my laptop is connecting (via 5GHz radio) to the router at 300 mbps, the actual samba transfer rates are around 6-7 MB/s.
My wireless settings and tests are using the following configuration:
- 2.4 GHz radio disabled.
- 5 GHz settings are:
* N Only
* Turbo (40 MHz)
* Auto (channel)
* lower
Distance form the laptop is about 2 meters with a thin plaster wall between.
DD-WRT status showing 270-300 mbps TX and RX.
Is 7-8 MB/s samba transfer rate normal over wireless N?
Last question, I have flashed to the community version of DD-WRT, if I wanted to go back to the Buffalo Professional Version of DD-WRT, how would I do this?
I understand that there is a file called: wzrg300nh_original.bin that will allow you to install the Buffalo firmware on a WZR-HP-G300H but will this work on a WZR-HP-AG300H also?
Same problem here with a WHR-HP-G300N. My WAN would be wireless to another router, normal AP mode with the WAN on the WAN por works fine.
And I'm having the same issue with the Bandwidth too. Tried configuring the antennas as 1+2 on Tx and Rx and the transfer rate was from 4MB/s to 6MB/s. After changing it to 1+2+3 it bumped to 7MB/s to 9MB/s. I belive this is due to 300mbps iw 300/8/2= 18.75MB/s max real bandwidth, because wireless is half duplex.
I am curious if you both still are using Buffalo and found a firmware and hack that works. Buffalo routers do not seem well supported by DD-WRT, or maybe the user base is just too small. _________________ WRT54GL v1.1 - DD-WRT v24-sp2 (04/07/12) vpn-small (SVN revision 18946M NEWD Eko)

Firewall scripts have been broken in DD-Wrt since sometime in the 2010 builds. This may have been corrected recently, but not before 7/2011. If you need to adjust the iptables, I would suggest firmware in 2009 or earlier. However, such firmware probably wouldn't support the AG300H or the G300NH.

Thanks for the reply Handyman007.
You are right, those of us who use the new Buffalo routers cannot use the older DD-WRT builds
However I believe if the tutorials/documentation on the DD-WRT Wiki is wrong then it should be updated to reflect the correct information.
I mean what is the point of it, if the imformation is all outdated and wrong?
Almost makes me want to buy an second hand Linksys WRT600N so I can use the old MEGA builds.

What type of non-sense is this? Firewall scripts broken? Clarify?
Last i knew, and this is in every build i used last year and this year, if you script an iptables ruleset and save it as firewall it works, not sure what you are talking about or if you even know what you are talking about. You may perhaps have a loopback problem, but firewall scripts are not broken. _________________ Wireless N Config | Linking Routers | DD-WRT Wiki | DD-WRT Builds | Peacock - Broadcom FAQ

I concur. But I share the confusion of many. Now that I have an AG300H, I do not know what firmware (DDWRT, Tomato, Buffalo, etc) and version to put on it, and what works and what doesn't. _________________ WRT54GL v1.1 - DD-WRT v24-sp2 (04/07/12) vpn-small (SVN revision 18946M NEWD Eko)

Can anyone confirm that the firmware quoted above will be OK with a Buffalo WZR-HP-AG300H and if so, could they provide a link to the download? I have only just obtained my new router and I don't want to risk bricking it just yet, but I do want to get SAMBA working so that I can use my memory stick in the USB port. I did do a search on the downloads page but my model of router wasn't listed.
One other query; would the model I have here in the United Kingdom have any particular issues with the firmware that wouldn't for instance be apparent in the US hardware, or are they basically the same except for maybe the voltage/frequency of the AC power supply?

I have not edited in the newer 19342 build into the AG300H wiki because openvpn in it is not functioning, on 18024 or 18777 it is, so if you use VPN and want a working one, i would use the 18024 or 18777 builds, when openvpn is fixed i will then edit the newer working build into the wiki.
