Hello!
I noticed that my router (Linksys E2000) has very bad upload performance on the LAN switch. Basically if I upload something it is very slow and keeps disconnecting. I tried other cables and all ports, none works properly. Even speedtest.net fails, or achieves 0.01 Mbit upload speed. Over Wifi it works fine (1 Mbit upload speed).
Now I have another problem though, it seems I am unable to downgrade the firmware. I tried both via web interface and via tftp, both with the stock firmare, an earlier eko build, and the trailing build... but all that happens is the firmware gets downloaded to the router, but no upgrade is happening. I wait 10-15 minutes, power cycle the router and the 17598 build is still there. Tried 30-30-30 resets, all didn't help.
DON'T use backups from other versions of dd-wrt, even on the same router. This is very dangerous.
Steps 1 and 2 are fine to do. New versions require a nv60 build as they have a failsafe in them. That is why you can't downgrade easily. You have to reflash with an earlier trailed build. There is some info in the wiki on this. _________________ SIG:
