Hello,

I have a WRT54G v3.1 with v24 preSP2 (Build13064).
My connection is 20Mbps/2Mbps cable modem.

If I plug my computer directly on the cable modem I get at least 17Mbps. When I use the linksys router through WIFI (G only) I only get between 8 Mbps and 10Mbps.

Should I be able to get more or should I change router?

I tried a bunch of different security settings, cpu overclocking, change frequency, ...

Any help would be appreciated

wWhat's type has your connection to Inet ?
static ip. dhcp, pppoE ?

What speed in test {wired connection through Lynksys} ?

My cable modem is using DHCP no PPPoE.

I will have a try asap through the wired connections, should have tried it before.

So just tried with the cable plugged to the WRT54G and I get full speed. If I try through wifi I only get half.

Overclocking seems to help but that's probably not a good idea.

I tried to reinstall the original firmware by Linksys version 4.21.1. I have full speed (20Mb/2Mb) using wireless.

So the router can do it! What's the difference with DD-WRT ?!

Thank you

Hey guys,

I have flashed my WRT54G2v1.0 with dd-wrt.v24-10709_NEWD_micro;

Everything went fine and works good, except low speed;

Direct cabled to my laptop gives me about: 80-100Mbps;
Router before flash through cable gave me: 60-80Mbps;
Router after flash through cable gives me: maxx 36Mbps;

Wifi speed is the same as before limited to 16-20Mbps;

I have tried all the configurations, QoS is disabled, no change in speed at all. Is there anything I can do to reach my 100Mbps with ddwrt flashed router?

@dynex - see my sig.

@drioo - The CPU in that router is too slow to route any faster. You'll need a model with a 400+ MHz CPU to handle routing at 100mbps. The WRT320N, WRT610N v2, and RT-N16 are a few such models. See the supported devices wiki page for a full list.

Also, G spec is limited to ~20mbps throughput so if you want any faster on wireless then you need to move your clients up to N spec as well.
