QUOTE(Dannyl @ Apr 13 2006, 12:00 PM)
Okay, just flashed to this firmware from the original Linksys yesterday.  First attempt, the browser timed out midway of updating... I had a scare.  Then I refreshed and tried again... successful.  I have many questions...

1)  I have a WRT54G v2.2.  A few pages back someone mentioned v2.2 has some wireless problems, may I know what it is?

2)  What's this QoS which can supposedly improve BT?  Is it in the network properties at Windows?  Becos I've seen it there with the TCP/IP settings.

3)  What are some good settings to try?  So far I've only changed the xMit value to 42mW (someone said it's a good value to try).

4)  From the wireless connection icon in Windows, I see that the speed fluctuates greatly... it changes all the time, 2Mbps, 6Mbps, 48Mbps, 36Mbps, 12Mbps... what happened?

4)  In the pic below, how come my PC is not listed as one of the clients?  I set the IP manually to 192.168.1.100.  DHCP starting IP is from 192.168.1.100.

Thanks for any help.
1. Frequent Disconnections and 'The Slow File Transfer' Problem Syndrome

2. Manage your Traffic. You could run BitTorrent and still able to play online games without 'major' lags. It shapes your traffic. In other words , you can manage your own bandwidth [Lets assume that you have RM 1 and if you dont manage it , you might just spend it , but if you manage it , you could buy some useful stuffs]

3. Well you could boost up to 100mW , there is no problem at all. I suggest you to install proper cooling system [or at least place in a 'cool' envoriment] , so that the router does not overheat

Its a known issue and you would need to wait for a Fix [that is DD-WRT SP1]

Are you on Static IP ?

Try to change the DHCP Lease time from x minutes to 1440 minutes , that should fix the problem

I have tried OpenWRT , works fine. You get a lots of storage , but again you dont have a GUI ...All CLI...I would rather have DD-WRT [OpenWRT + GUI + $VEA$oft]

wrt5GS..just ask them for GS..If its around RM 280-300 , thats it. Some resellers , sell it at a higher price [i.e at RM 360]....Of course if you got that much of money , just get it...To play safe as well , I suggest you to go to linksys info website , they have a guide on how to check the revision/version before buying'em

ask him the serial number , if it matches with V4 Serial Number found on linksysinfo , that means its okay...These days , people are taking advantage just to 'increase' the price of WRT54G

Toss the CD , the CD is useless.....It would not help , just read the DD-WRT , the right way of flashing

I suggest you to use mini , instead of standard. Go with mini for starters

Well , priority for gaming also helps if you set the QOS rules correctly...With mini , you get some storage space that allows you to install programs

You need to flash it to DD-WRT prev23 mini...You need to flash mini. From mini you could upgrade to Standard ,etc. Standard is meant for those who wants IPV6 nad all other extras like Hotspot. The mini itself is pretty good...biggrin.gif. At least you would have 200KB of memory [RAM Space] to install some programs for WRT54GS

No problem , should be no problem. But remember, you would have to do a full restart. Trust me , once you're on DD-WRT , you dont ever wish to go back to default linksys' frimware. Please make sure you have BootWait On

If you have bought WRT54G/GS , series..look at the back of the router it should state what version of WRT54G or GS

Version 2 is known for its famous WiFi 'drop' bug..You would need to overclock your CPU to 216Mhz to fix that problem. [Your router's CPU].Its a known issue with V2.x series.....

Try overclocking or get a different frimware , I heard $vea$oft's Frimware fixes this problems...but you gotta pay USD$ 25 for that !
