I am using the RC4 of DD-WRT for my Buffalo WHR G125 router. I noticed the 'bandwidth' tab is available now, but after installing abodes svg viewer, now the page just loads with an error(in javascript) and doesn't display those graphs... Not sure why that is yet. I installed everything properly, restarted the browser and computer, no security issues, just not sure why it isn't working. I'll look for a newer version, it not I'll just reinstall RC4...


But the question I really have here is about bandwidth control. I couldn't find any option about this just looking through the tabs on my router's control panel.

Basically, I would like to set bandwidth limits for clients on the network. DD-WRT remembers all the clients and displays them nicely in a list, but because there are a few computers on the network and we don't have a super fast connection(really our upload speed is slow), I would like to set some limits on a few computers to help prevent any 'bandwidth hogging' or anything like that.

I have no idea if DD-WRT can do this or if there is another solution.

Thanks in advance for any help.

For the svg problem, Just use Firefox or Opera. Pretty much any browser except Internet Exploiter works with DD-WRT bandwidth monitoring feature.

As far as bandwidth restrictions go, have a look at the QoS tab in DD-WRT.

Check out htis tool


http://www.icpnet.pl/~robsonn/generator.zip

You can control bandwidth (up/down) on a per MAC or IP basis.

This works in addition to any settings (QOS, etc) in DD-WRT. Just cut and paste the output of the program into the Firewall screen in DD-WRT and save it.

If you're using IE7 you need to apply this hotfix and make the required registry changes:

What version of dd-wrt are you using on your WAP54G?

v24 RC5 micro?

Perhaps micro doesn't support the tc command?

I see a lot of people making invalid inductions about the firmware

I'm using rules from robson's generator on my SP5 router and it's working just fine.

Its fine saying that but in my testing so far I have not been able to get INDIVIDUAL bandwidth control to operate fully in the Specials I have tried.

All users seem to get the same speed:- UP and DOWN.

What is required is seperate control of UP and DOWN speeds for at LEAST a group of Users.

I have tried both MAC and IP (+MAC ) but no success other than same speed so far for ALL.

Will have to try and investigate further when I get the chance.

did u bought (not p2p´ed) the firmware?

then u have the right to download a newer one form the closed forum section and/or u can contact BS for support or if u have found a bug in the special.











....and if u P2P´ed the Special version....Get the hell out of here!

I resent the implication!

What you have just confirmed to me is that there is a problem within sections of the community who dislike BS's attempts to derive income from generating the DD-WRT project.
If you search you will find I have defended this particular matter within the forum. I have complained about retailers (Spanish) charging extra for WRT54GL's loaded with DD-WRT without acknowledgement of a donation made for this.
20€ was good value for what I had previously learned. If speed became critical then I would take it further but at present I have more pressing matters.

Seems that BS should do the same as an earlier developer and lock the Firmware to a particular MAC or set thereof upon Download.
I will not comment further on this matter. It is finished as far as I am concerned. Any further replies will be ignored by me.
