argh...lights on the wrt54g doesn't come up anymore after i left it off overnight...sigh..guess thats it for thing..

No I'm not, usually only dl a few files when i go sleep or something.
Lately it has been disconnecting my connection every few hours.

max only last 24 hours, and i had to manual redial it or restart the router to reconnect.

Is it the firmware problem? should i flash it?

you may want to do that , open up , shorten the pings , and then see if you could get replies..if so , quickly flash it to linksys' default firmware , and then you're set.....

Remember : Disable JFFS , if you're not using it. If you turn off the router when its booting , it would also cause it to brick as well

I got a prob with my WRT54GL, I never turn off my router for overnight. And when i wake up in the next morning i try to open a website it doesnt load. But BT is downloading and msn/ym still online.

Can anyone help ?

Edit : Im on Original linksys FW version v4.30.7

So if you do use P2P applications, don't forget to raise the max number of connections and also play around with the QoS settings until you are satisfied with the connection. Good luck.

Guess who's on DD-WRT




THx hardyboyz888 for the advise.

Ok Im almost familiar with what DD-WRT got to offer. Only thing needed is now major testing.

I connected 2 pc's to my WRT54GL, then I tried moving files that were roughtly about 200MB from one pc to the other via wired network. To my surprise the estimated time shown were 70 minutes plus. Then I checked Windows Task Manager (CTRL + ALT + DEL) -> Networking. I realise that the network utilization is only like 0.24% - 0.4%.

WTF is wrong ? I never had this issue with my DLINK DI 524 even if i were transferring files via wireless.

Can someone help ?

as I have said , Linksys WRT54G sucks when it comes to wireless. If possible , disable it , just disable it. Broadcom chipset has some problems transfering to other non-broadcom cards. Disable it , and use back your old router [if you have it]

It loves to drop the packets. Try tweaking the wireless settings. Play around with ACK Timing and stuff like that !

I threw my old wireless router thinking that WRT53GL is good, and without wireless there is no point of having a router for me. I need a wireless as my hse is double storey and I can enjoy wireless even outside my hse.

Its not only wireless... im using a wired config also same problem. Transfer rate is soooooooooo slow for files thats moved across network.

Any resolution for this ?

Edit : I just wrote to linksys. See wat they hv to say.

Your problem is really weird as wired LAN do have problem also. Mind sharing what version is your WRT54GL ?

@sifu,

The Xmit Power from the Advance Setting have range 0 - 251mW. If I change it to the maximum, will it cause any harm to human body? Also will the life of the unit being shorterned?

what i know is setting the value too high will render your router to be overheated, thus shortening its lifespan.

And also I wouldn't say it is much harm but the harm will certainly increase when you increase the power rate.

So what is the best value? I am setting my Xmit Power to 60mW at the moment and I am thinking to change to 120mW

anyone have a ACK timing value that doesn't give errors ?
