I am seeing limitation on my broadband connection using my Netgear R7000 with DD-WRT v3.0-r35550M kongac (03/28/1..
I have recently upgraded to 350Mbps broadband, but with the R7000 the speed is limited to 260-270Mbps..
I have tested with and without the R7000 and the speed reduction is definitely down the the R7000, bypassing it to the same desktop Im getting 380Mbps.
I have done some searching and enabling NAT has been suggested as a fix, but as far as I understand it DD-WRT does not support hardware NAT, where as the Netgear Firmware does? I also dont have QOS enabled.
SFE/STP enabled doesnt seem to make a difference either.
(edit: Actually, SFE seems to disable automatically every time I try to enable it...)
Is there anything I can tweak in DD-WRT to help speed this connection up?
Yes I spotted that post.. Enabling SFE should increase the throughput, but for me it seems to crash every time I enable it, it goes back to disable state.. Nothing in the log to tell me why - as far as I can see..
It seems I might need to focus my efforts on getting SFE to stay enabled..
I did not erase the nvram - I've got a fairly large number of changes (mostly ip related (forwarding, restrictions, etc).. Can you backup the config and restore following an erase?
Problem resolved.. the policy-based routing field was populated from a previous attempt I had on getting it working, but even though the openVPN was disabled SFE would not enable because of there being a value in that field..
Now that SFE is enabled I am finally seeing the full speed of my broadband. Thanks you for the help.

For future reference... You can, but the backup will set it right back to how it was before. However, if one has large fields to restore (port fwds, scripts, vpn and other configs, etc), you can `nvram show` and copy/paste the output, then search to find those fields, and make a simple `nvram set {parameter}={value};{lather, rinse repeat}` command to restore that data. _________________ #NAT/SFE/CTF: limited speed w/ DD#Repeater issues#DD-WRT info: FAQ, Builds, Types, Modes, Changes, Demo#
