For a peace of mind I would recommend you to use the wrt54gsv4 file though. I too used that file to flash my router and it works like a charm now.

I need some advice. I have a Linksys WRT54GS version 6 router which I flashed with DD-WRT Micro. I have an Aztech 600E ADSL modem. When I turn them on, I get internet connection, but only for a very short while, like 2 minutes. Thereafter, the modem is disconnected. I've gone into the management console of the router and tried manually to connect, but it doesn't. I have also hard resetted the Aztech modem. But it's still the same; Connect for 2 minutes, after that, disconnected until the next hard reset.

It doesn't seem to be a line fault because I'm typing this using a direct connection to the modem.

Anyone solved this problem before?

Bernard Yeo, Please check the Aztech 600E firmware version. if it is version 62.4.4 you will have to patch it

Dear all sifu,

I am very new in this thread. I just flashed my WRT54G v5 to DDR-WRT last night. I need some advices from all of you on the settings. There are too many pages in this thread and very sorry i have no time to read everyone of it. My questions are:

1. I am using BitComet and eMule to download movies. What settings should i set to maximise the speed but does not compromise my surfing of internet?

2. I shared the connection with two wired notebook. The two notebooks always on the download at the same time. What should i do so that the downloads won't affect either one of the notebook?

3. I read about the QoS and port forwarding all these stuffs but i donno how should i proceed with it. Can anyone enlighten me?

Thank you very much on your help.

Cheers.

ldragon, my brother has another adsl modem. It's a Kasda. It also has the same problem. Connect 2 minutes or none at all.

Could this mean it's a router problem? This was like that even before I flashed the firmware. Is my warranty voided with the firmware change?

Thanks.

Do you have any websites/forum on eMule settings?

thanks for help

now sucessfully flashed to dd-wrt, set bt qos to bulk, changed maxport and timeout,
now gona test running bt and then after few hours of bt see wether i still can surf webpage or not, wish me good luck

I am learning to set the QoS. What is the ideal value for download and upload in kbps? i heard many says to set the value at 85%-90%. I use calculator to compute and it has decimal points. What value should i use?

I am on the 512kbps/256kbps package.

Well the best is do a bandwidth test first. From there, then only you set it to about 90% of the download speed. Same way goes to the upload.

It's better to set higher values that you got from the speedtest as lower values will cause the QoS to limit your bandwidth, hence you can't utilize all of your bandwidth.

As it turns out, I connected that troublesome router to my office's Aztech DSL600E with a firmware 62.4.3 and it works like a charm!!

And I did upgrade the firmware on the original modem, tested it and it works fine.

1. It won't compromise your surfing, somehow it auto gives priority to http.

If you're not satisfied, try QoSing.

2. There's a limit to your internet, if it is 512kb, it will stay that way. If you want the bandwidth to be balanced, again, QoSing.

3. Try discovering yourself, and try reading the help from the ..more button on the web interface. There's a wiki at dd-wrt's website as well, that might help you.
About portforwarding, click on Applications and gaming, click Port Forwarding for single ports, or Port Range Forwarding for ranges of ports (u can use this for single ports as well, doesn't matter).
Type in the application name (again, doesn't matter, you can type $h!+ and it won't care), the ip address of the computer you want it to be forwarded to(check your lan connection, put a static ip (the range is between 192.168.1.3 to 192.168.1.255) and the port range or the single port.

4. Good luck.

5. I discovered another thing, bt doesn't seem to bother my gaming hehehehe with my router.

There's a x86 version of DD-WRT coming soon, we can easily convert our old rig into a router.

Guys what firmware you guys suggest for WRT54GL ? Im using Firmware: DD-WRT v23 SP2 (09/15/06) mini

isit good enough, or any other thats better ?

why all so quiet ?

Upgrade the linksys firmware will void the warranty?? I never heard of this until I went to the shop after my linksys router internet port and LAN 1-2 port became unuseable after a thunder storm strikes my modem.. Anyone can help out with this issue?

noticed that WRT54 has many models so which one do you guys recommend anyway?
do you guys use it as router + modem or just plain router/modem?
does this router really work with charm after flashed with DD-WRT like everyone said?
i've an existing linksys AG241 though

CalvinCLK, Flash back to the original firmware & proceed with warranty claim. WRT54...comes with 3 years limited warranty.

WRT54G family is not a router + modem combo. It is just a pure wireless router which can be flashed to a 3rd party firmware for much improved stability and features.

The shopper told me that the factory even can detect it after we reflash back to the original firmware, wondering how they detect it. If I flash it many times dunno they can detect it or not, tempting to overwrite the flash memory inside. I did it twice just now.. No problem.
