Have the developers fixed the memory leak problem?

The reason I use tofu11 instead of this is because of the memeory leaks and has to be rebooted every week or so.

The v22 firmware.

Maybe I will try the new version later.

I tried using DD-WRT a couple of years back, did the stability problems that forced me to restart the router every week or so has been resolved? Anyone here can get long uptimes under heavy P2P load without hanging?

Hmmm... just installed DD-WRT v23 SP2, and will see whether the stability has improved.


edit: What is that RP PPPoE thing? Different from the normal PPPoE?

Is it just me, but if I manually disconnect/connect the PPPoE session, I will be disconnected from the network (wireless) for about 10-20 seconds (depending on how long handshake will take)? This is really annoying.

If PPPoE disconnects by itself (Streamyx/TM problems), that wireless disconnect will not happen.

WRT54G v 2.2 works fine here. Although I wonder what will happen if the free memory count decreased to zero. At the first moment I start the router, it has 2.4MB of RAM left. Now after 5 days, only 1.9MB is left. And it never recovers.

My pet-peeve is that I will be temporarily disconnected from the router if I manually disconnect the PPPoE session. Will have to wait until Windows reconnect to the router back before I can access the web config again.

Here is a RC-4 firmware in WRt54GS v7 (now supported).

v24 RC3 does not support GS v7. Only RC4 does.

The download is somewhere in the forum.

I think for that need to load v23 SP2 first via TFTP then upgrade to RC4 via web interface.

RC-4 is now available. Memory leaks problem from the wireless driver should have been fixed.

Hmmm... for me the speed is just the same between RC-3 and RC-4. RC-4 has the added advantage of not taking too much memory. Now I always have more than 3MB RAM left instead of 700k-900k in RC-3.

Soft reboot is done at Administration tab. Hard reboot is done by unplugging power supply and then replug.

I do not have the memory leak problem anymore. Have you reset the router after upgrading to RC-4?

Yeah, hard-reset by pressing it for 30 seconds at least while the router is on.

Maybe Eko's code that fixed the memory leak problem does not make it for the WRT54G firmware yet.

I think can be flash straight with standard if already have DD-WRT.

OS?
What is the speed indicated by Windows Explorer?
Do you use WEP/WPA/WPA2?

I mean the time shown by the File transfer operation window. What file(s) you are transferring and how big (cumulatively) they are?

12% is still pretty decent I think. What is the load of the router?

I think it is the DD-WRT. What version did you use now?
