Suspecting that my WRT54GS is having some hardware failure issue now, the wireless connection goes on and off quite frequently. Going to do some troubleshooting tomorrow morning. sad.gif

Used to experience that b4, but that was after flashing to tomato. Maybe U can try clear the NVram first. IF cannot, can try flash again and then clear NVram. Just my suggestion.

Now I upgrade myself, playing with OpenWRT+X-WRT(White Russian) firmware. Very powerful firmware and UI is fast too compare to DD-WRT. The QoS is every effective and work well compare to DD-WRT and tomato.
Use to get around 650ms during WoW game with some p2p download at background. Now with new firmware, can get around 400ms!! thumbup.gif  thumbup.gif  thumbup.gif
Highly recommend for those who want to try new thing..tongue.gif

After doing a lot of troubleshooting, it is now confirmed that there is a problem with the router's wireless components. It is still working fine just that the wireless connectivity is gone. I now have to hook it up with a D-Link router to have wireless access.

Wow that's bad get a kerbau to replace that router . You boost to much mW to your antenna? Sorry for what happened to you . D-Link should be okay for temporary use
*
Thought of getting Buffalo to replace but not at the moment as budget is a bit tight at the moment. I used 40mW for the output power.

Actually since WRT54GL is actually a WRT54G v4, the WRT54G routers all have problems with their wireless. I had a WRT54G v3.1 last time and wireless connectivity was very very bad.

will they RMA if using 3rd party firmware? is that possible firmware problem?
*
Actually it depends, I did RMA my WRT54G last time when it was flashed with DD-WRT but they still accept.

I just bought this model last night and flashed it to Tomato. I am currently stress testing it with torrent and it just passed the 12 hours uptime. What do you mean whether any of us needs any unit ? You are helping to buy ? hmm.gif

i can it at rm170 not sure expensive or not....
*
RM170 is a good buy for that router. Get it before it is sold out ! I've been told that there aren't any stocks left from the supplier so once the stocks at shops are out then the wait time for the new stocks might be long.

anyone know where to get the linksys wrt-54g ver.8? i'm trying to get this ver.8 but seem malaysia haven't launch yet? all the shop i looked into just got ver.7  sweat.gif i find out this ver.7 is hard to flash with dd-wrt & its tricky but the ver.8 is much more simple.

do i need to wait for the newest ver.8? or just grap the buffalo whr-g54s?
*
Just grab the Buffalo, IMO it performs much better than the Linksys but stock availability might run out anytime and the price will always be jacked up by the shops. sweat.gif

is there anyway to check what is using up the memory?
i have only 0.9mb free memory..
*
Don't worry much about the free memory, it uses the RAM to cache for faster loading. It will automatically refresh so no worries of it running out of memory. smile.gif

guys after flash it to DD-WRT - the warranty will void ? (WRT-54GL),
possible restore back the original firmware?
anyone try their luck to claim it ?
*
Yes by right the warranty will void but then if any case you need to RMA and you are able to flash back to the original Linksys firmware, then flash it back before send back for RMA. I did RMA my WRT54G before and I just send it back with the DD-WRT firmware flashed and they still did it for me.

Perhaps you could show a screenshot of your QoS configuration ?

below are the screenshots of my QoS config
i've enabled QoS and DMZ as prasys said

At the classification section, you should add one more rule for torrent :

TCP/UDP
IPP2P: Bittorent

What I do is I set it to have the lowest priority among all my other QoS rules so that it doesn't hog the bandwidth all the time.

just wanna ask,
whats the  point of the overclocking function in ddwrt?(i know its to make it run faster, but what actually runs faster?)
*
The processor will run faster but in a way it generates heat. It is not practical to overclock if you feel that your router is able to handle your daily usage. Overclocked processor in routers would usually benefit when you have lots of clients doing intensive stuffs like downloading from BitTorrent and such.
