[size=12]Hi, I am new to dd-wrt and was hoping some experienced user could help.
I have moved to a house behind my parents and so wanted a setup to share the internet as well as network between the 2 houses. I have managed to setup a repeater bridge (using dd-wrt on a d-link DIR-615 RevD4) which allows internet access but the download speeds I am able to get (on speedtest.net) vary between 0.65mbps-0.05mbps using both wired and wireless.
The speed at my parents house is 16mbps and although I am aware that the throughput is halved using repeater/repeater bridge, the speeds I am currently getting at my house is obviously much lower than you would expect.
The host router is a Huawei HG533 and I have tried both repeater and repeater bridge modes to see if this made any difference (which it did not).
I have turned off the firewall, frameburst, afterburner on client router; and although virtual interface is currently on, speeds were no different with it off.
Thanks in advance[/size]
Never mind. Having spent the best part of a day trying to sort this out, I decided to see if there was an older build for my router. Turns out the latest build is the problem and now with the previous build I'm getting between 4mbps -13mbps. Played about with the channels with varying results. But it's now much better and so no complaints.

Can't remember exactly which one it was but there are only 2 builds available for this particular router. The older one of the 2 resolved the issue. I think it's dated 2010.
