guys..i'm moving next month & planning to get a Buffalo WHR-G54S. gonna pair it with a DLink 520T. is it good enough for me to use the stock firmware rather than flash it to DDWRT? (gonna share the line between 3 ppl, 1 heavy 24/7 torrenting, the other 2 normal web surfing)

guys..just bought Buffalo WHR-54FS few days ago. didn't dare to flash it to DDWRT coz afraid will brick it since i'm a noob in networking.
 anyway, the connection is not stable all the time. can't surf the net at times & gotta restart it. but weirdly MSN still ok when the net surfing is down. anything to do with the firmware? or isit due to my streamyx connection?  |

QUOTE(red-queen @ Oct 25 2007, 04:39 PM) you're having this problem because all ur tcp connection ports in ur router has been used. the reason why ur msn still ok is because the connection has already been established before the amount of connection was flooded. any new connection that you try to establish will have problem. thats why, you should flash to DD-wrt or any other 3rd party firmware which allows you to increase the tcp connection amount and also set the cleanup rate. so this is a known issue for Buffallo WHR-54GS? what's the possibility of bricking it when flashing to DDWRT? i'm kinda worried but was left with no choice since it always hang across some period of time. there are 2 DDWRT FW for it, v23 sp2 standard & v23 sp2 special final. which on should i choose? thanks.  EDIT : @ dd-wrt.com, its instructions in flashing to DDWRT included a step where u need to change the router's IP address to 192.168.1.1. would my WHR54GS conflict with the Aztech DSL600E (modem) since both share the same IP address?

QUOTE(wr6969 @ Oct 27 2007, 10:36 AM) My advice is that if you do not understand the instructions, you'd better avoid it. Better to stick with a 90% functioning router than one which is completely bricked. Having said that, I've updated two WHR-54G-HP without problems. First time I did it, I took a chance of bricking the router since I wasn't completely clear on the instructions on doing it. is it that complicated? or is there anyone kind enough to help me flash it to DDWRT? i'm really sick of the flooded TCP connections everytime i'm torrenting.

just managed to flashed from my Buffalo's original firmware to DD-WRT v23 SP2 yesterday without any problems.
 QoS works just nice but still web browsing abit laggy when torrenting. have tried setting bittorent under 'Bulk' services & the necessary settings for TCP/UDP in IP Filter Seriings too. anyone knows why? wanted to flash it v24 RC4. is it much better than my current v23 SP2? cant seem to find one suitable for Buffalo WHR-G54S on the download page.
