Hi!
I will need a new router at home.
I just got 4G and measured speeds of 86Mbit when connecting the modem to my computer.
When connecting the modem to my router (TP-Link TL-WR1043ND) with DD-WRT and i can only get speeds around 20Mbit.
I suspect that the router cant manage higher speeds from the USB-modem so, as i said. I need a new one.
I have some requirements.
1Gbps local network support
802.11n
DD-WRT
At least one USB-port (doh)
And i need something that can get me better speeds when using 4G.
Any suggestions?
I have looked att Asus N16 and Netgear WNDR3700 but i don't know anything about what speed i can expect with those..
kind of strange to get eh same results from 2 different modems with DD-WRT. it could be something related to the DD-WRT and USB interface driver.
My only experience is with drives connected the USB ports on my Asus RT-N16 and I have definitely gotten throughput in the 22 megabyte per second range so I know it;s capable. 20 mbit would roughly equate to about 2 megabytes but you say to get 86 mbit(8 megabyte) directly attached to a PC.
hopefully someone else who has done what you are trying to do will lend their expertise.

That gives me 55 in and 20 out. I'm ok with that. Dovado should be able to push 70 - 85Mbit. Why i don't get more like 80 now i don't know but 55 is ok.
just wondering...what is your throughput up and down with
modem->pc
modem->asus->pc
modem->tp-link->pc
modem->tiny->pc
modem->tiny->asus->pc
modem->tiny->tp-link->pc
and are you wired directly via Lan cable between the 2 routers and the pc?
modem -> pc: 86/17-20
modem -> asus -> pc: 20-22/15
modem -> tp link -> pc: same as last one.
modem -> tiny -> pc: 52/18
modem -> tiny -> asus -> pc: 50-55/15-20
Same for tp-link.
atleast you don;t lose any speed with your current setup.
Since you are are connecting the Tiny to the DD-WRT router via a Lan cables, you are bypassing the DD-WRT/USB Modem issue.
if i had to guess, i;d say perhaps there is something faulty/inefficient in the USB/Modem port code in DD-WRT since you got the same results on both your dd-wrt devices. Hopefully someone will be motivated to look at it and make it work better if possible.
Note to self-download throughput might be capped at 2 mb per sec if using usb modem on DD-WRT.
