QUOTE(hardyboyz888 @ Nov 28 2006, 09:00 AM) Every version is made possible to be flashed to this firmware but I think choosing the GL version should be better as it has more RAM memory compared to the others. What is the current market price for GL? Coz i saw Mika sell in bulk thread for RM225. I check compuzone pricelist around RM260 but not sure whether they got update or not.Is the router easy to configure and to flash the firmware? If I on it 24 hours continuously, will it got heat problem? I never been to wireless networking so not sure what need to do. thanks ya |

QUOTE(DeLarafi @ Nov 28 2006, 07:37 PM) RM210 for GL... this is is a price i got from Stygyx Melaka. wow, that cheap? i quote from some forumers here, around RM225-235. I read the compuzone pricelist around RM260 for GL versioni think bulk can give better price than that. My DDWRT are working well.. ermm let me see this 1 is just 6 days up. still kicking and keep on BT more than 5. the most stable i ever had. WRT54G version only RM198. Since my budget limited, worst come to worst, i'll get the G version, but can the G version performed as good as the GL after flash to DD-WRT? And the procedures to flash the G version is more complicated than GL right? |

QUOTE(karhoe @ Nov 29 2006, 02:44 PM) I just bought ( just bought, half an hour ) ago, a brand new WRT54G, happily set it up and the first website I went is to ddwrt.com . And to my horror, im using version 7 which is NOT SUPPORTED AT ALL, damn, if WRT54GL is just a couple of bux away, should have bought it, now im stuck with a normal wifi modem, which perfoms nothing better than a cheap dlink wifi router how much u bought it? why the version 7 not supported? |

QUOTE(mikelanding @ Nov 30 2006, 12:49 AM) Dun save some money and choose G version....coz latest G version 7 cannot be flash to DD-WRT. Even if U buy a lower version than version 7 now.. In future if anything happen, send to RMA and return with version 7....it will be actually oledi pm mika asking about the GL, but he is from johor, i hope to cod. RM250 quite high for lowyat also..To be sure can use DD-WRT, GL is yr best choice...Get it from Mika or Stingy Mlk( if U around Mlk or had friends there). By the way, I got my WRT54-GL from Lowyat 3rd floor cost me Rm250. Shopkeeper said he offered 3 years shop warranty, if anything happen send back to shop rather than to linksys SC. It worth every RM...My cousin and I brought the same unit together and he very happy with it and ditch his 3Com WIFI router away....hahaha. He used Netgear, 3Com, D-link so far....this the best he said... Ohh...by the way, C-zone no stock for WRT54GL USB will be better since in future if U got lappy U still can use it...although USB cost a little bit more... USB adapter which brand and model u recommend? |

Just got my WRT54GL at LYP.
Can't find any GL version at PC Fair and PC Fair promoters know nuts about GL or G version 5. Even LYP also left Compuzone and the shop i bought got this model. Get it for RM230 which quite cheap. Now waiting got free time to flash the router |

QUOTE(hardyboyz888 @ Dec 5 2006, 08:43 AM) You can raise the max TCP connections to 4096 and play around with the QoS settings also to give priority to a certain program. last night after i finish flash my router, i can't get it connect to the internet. Is it i need to set to PPPoE, then username and password for screamyx? any other basic settings that i need to done to get connected to internet in the 1st place before playing with advance features? |

QUOTE(hardyboyz888 @ Dec 5 2006, 10:46 PM) You can try to press and hold the reset button located at your modem. Most modems will be back to bridge mode by default after resetting it. Ok, i successfully connected to internet, forget to chg the gateway of my PC network card to the new gatewayIs it correct i need to set the Advanced Routing if i set my PC to static IP? |

Want to ask about the 'best' configuration for my DDWRT.
Basically i use both wired and wireless thru the router, mainly for BT and internet. I got 1 PC access using wired, another PC access thru wireless and 1 to 2 laptops thru wireless..Both PCs will normally BTing. Let say i set static IP for my both PC but not my laptops (coz office use), what things shud i set? Do i need to set Advanced Routing for my both PC? Do i need to set port forwarding for BitComet software? I try add port forward but can't manage it, after click Save, it won't come out. Do i need to set QoS? What settings if yes? What else i need to set basically to maximise the performance? Sometimes i feel BT quite slow. thanks |
