Installed the tomato-K26USB-1.28.RT-N5x-MIPSR2-097-VPN-64K.trx ...
Did a little digging as I was back to 18 to 20Mb/s from the moment Tomato was installed. Found it was the Frame Burst setting that defaults to Disable. Changed it to Enabled and voila... back in business.
I now have Tomato running instead of stock firmware and Tomato gives me 26.5Mb/s flat on MCS15 with -66. Personally, I think this is pretty cool.
Does DD-WRT have "Frame Burst" as well? If so, does enabling it on DD-WRT firmware also increase the throughput speed?
I'm looking to buy this router, but am not willing to suffer with degraded throughput.
Hi guys so tonight is the first time i go to us port forwarding on the n66u running ddwrt and i can not seem to get it to work. Port scans tell me the port is open but no clients can connect to the server on the internal network. I'm not sure if this is some kind of common problem ass i have ready of people issuing certain command s to "flush" the ip tables or if this is an issue with this build of ddwrt on the n66u. Curious if you guys could help me out? Thanks in advance guys!

Because I have 80 grade Celsius inside the RT-N66U I decide to use cooling fan 70x15mm with 500rpm.
I use LM2596 converter (19V to 5V 3A) for fan and USB (photo top right).

I decided to hook up an external USB powered (by the router itself) fan with variable speed to keep the router cool. I like that I can turn the speed down to just below being able to hear it. The room is pretty quiet and that fan noise can be very noticeable.

While we weren't really getting anywhere until the CFE issue is resolve (beyond firmware) I was enjoying the read.
I also did contact asus to see if how it goes on cfe for our router.
I got this back today:

Hi,
We are currently working with DD-WRT development for a CFE release in the future. I do not have an exact timeframe, but please know that we are looking into the development.
Regards,
Jeremy
So it seems they still will fix it, to bad we have no timeframe.

Answered in that thread, as it really belongs there.
Regarding the temperature I reported - nvm. It simply took longer for my router to reach its peak temperature, both radios are back to 51C and 56C now.
Hello I´ve some problems with my N66U. I´ve tried to install ddwrt. But something goes wrong by flashing.
Router is not more booting into firmware.
The only way I have is to make an Reset by Put the reset button while releasing the powerbutton. And when the power LED is flashing smooth I´ve get access to the build ins miniwebserver and on this I can flash a image or erase the nvram.
Please can anybody help me what I could do on this case.

Doing that puts the router in recovery mode. Have you tried erasing nvram from that recovery page?
After that, the first boot can take a bit to complete. Give it 3-4 minutes just to be safe. Also make sure you put your PC back on DHCP if you had a static IP configured for the flash procedure.
