I'm looking for some advice as to what I can adjust in the settings of dd-wrt to improve internet speeds via my router.
When I connect wirelessly at 1 meter distance directly to the modem router (Netgear CG3100) I can get around 10mb/s +.
When I connect via the WRT-160n router in to the modem in bridge mode my max is always 3mb/s.
I have now tried with another and the same result , triple the speed when not connected via the router running dd-wrt either wired or wireless. So it seems the router is slowing down the internet, is there any obvious settings I should look at besides disabling firewall, nat & upnp.
Before I have to look at buying a new router?

Yeah i got the same problem.
My bandwidth is 2Mbps/250kbps. If I connect my computer directly to my modem, I get the speed that I'm paying for. With dd-wrt on wrt160nv3 router, download speed (wireless and WIRED) droping down to 0.65Mbps. Setting the router radio off (disabling wireless) fixing the download speed for wired connection.
I did try using 2 different bulids on the router,
(dd-wrt.v24-13575_NEWD-2_K2.6_mini_wrt160nv3 and dd-wrt.v24-14896_NEWD-2_K2.6_mini) but none of them really seemed to fix the issue.
