set adsl modem in bridge mode.
use ppoe connection in dd-wrt itself.
portforward in dd-wrt.


*************************************

thanks idragon, actually i have 5 wrt54gl, none of them has burned (adapter) before. but in this case, i use it in very extreme manner (250mW output power, "extended" power cable, waterproof case, external antenna) i should have gone easy with this one...luckily i didn't burned the whole router

EDIT.....

successfully turn the router modem to bridge mode..
but now i can`t get into modem`s configuration page...

guys guys. how to flash belkin routers?
which file to use?

Want to ask about the 'best' configuration for my DDWRT.

Basically i use both wired and wireless thru the router, mainly for BT and internet. I got 1 PC access using wired, another PC access thru wireless and 1 to 2 laptops thru wireless..Both PCs will normally BTing.

Let say i set static IP for my both PC but not my laptops (coz office use), what things shud i set?

Do i need to set Advanced Routing for my both PC?

Do i need to set port forwarding for BitComet software? I try add port forward but can't manage it, after click Save, it won't come out.

Do i need to set QoS? What settings if yes?

What else i need to set basically to maximise the performance? Sometimes i feel BT quite slow.

thanks

Thanks !

Will give a try tonite

I'm plan to install the MAXIS wireless ADSL at my home, (got coverage) anyone of you known about this ? I means the speed and uptime good ??

Comment and Advised are most welcome....!!

You can further your question here. This topic is for the 3rd party firmware.

i just found this.. how true is this??

http://www.bitsum.com/about-ddwrt.htm

Yes it is true actually. DD-WRT is a combination from many other sources and that is how DD-WRT was formed.

no wonder i don`t see the features on special edition inside free edition...
wondering so long why don`t have the features locking the bandwidth per user...
now i get the answer...

snowmei, your problem solved already? yeah i can see the motive to go for commercial firmware after brainslayer start selling the special firmwares sometimes middle of last year. and that why there isn't any new features added to dd-wrt for broadcom based firmware.

snowmei, "Per User Bandwith Control" we can get it for free by using this Script Generator

thanks for the sharing, but too bad it doesn't support my LAN ip configuration which is in 184.x subnet...


but there's alway an option for this feature eg...DIY router...but it is a waste for true wrt potential...

you mean the internet case right? i still like to use router mode which mean modem pppoe and router dhcp....
not sure why my modem will dail suddenly and cripple the internet.....
and also useful when wanna get 218 ip... if use router seems like power down and up it... take some time and cripple the network for a while also.....

now not sure why i can reach only 25mbps even i put my laptop just beside the router???

Not really power cycle it to reconnect actually. You can disconnect and connect in the router configuration page though.

i didn`t do the power cycle..
just that when i press the disconnect... my network hang/down for a while....
after that it only back to normal...
for me is like power cycle...

for ddwrt.. when u disconnect PPPOE.. it will drop the wifi..

it happens to me every time.. so now i'm using wired connection...

So what I did was to use my D-Link DI-624+ for wireless and Linksys WRT54GS for wired. Helps to reduce the load off the WRT54GS too.

got try download the latest firmware...?
