Mind to tell which firmware that you flashed?

http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/ddwrt.phpIts under the Wireless category - Clients.

When flashed to DD-WRT, it's like the LED has no use right? I tried playing it by holding the button and the color changes but nothing has been done.
Anyone knows how to program the button into an on/off switch for the Wi-fi?

your active ip connection is still 300+, compared to mine is around 400+ to 500+, my clients below me also are heavy p2p n online game user. Since i implementing QoS, the connection to hhtp is fine all the time - direct download can be as fast as 75 KB/s.

No, i dont think increasing max ip connection will affect your router, as long the CPU load doesn't at max point everytime, or else it may affect the CPU lifetime. One thing i realized about ur router is your load average which is at range of 1.3 -1.5, rather high compared to me just around 0.19 - 0.15. FYI, throughout a day i usually have 30+ pcs connected to my router. (5 APs to be exact - 3 WRT54GL:WDS, 1 belkin wifi router, and 1 Netgear wifi router)

RFlowCollector

Download the program - u dont need to even install it. Run RFlowCollector.exe.
On network parameter, enter range of ips of your network (local subnet) eg if your network range is 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.100 u can just enter 192.168 and on filter parameter just enter ip(s) of your router;the program wont count packet in/out from the router.

At router config. Administration > Services > RFlow / Macupid, enter those value. Server ip adress is the ip of computer that run RFlowCollector.exe Use port 2055. U may want to add static ip rules first for a long run. it can be done in DHCP parameter located at a same page. Just add the MAC, pc name (hostname) and desireable ip address.

Results will come out after a while, and u can monitor bandwith speed, ports used, which webpage (in ip form) it goes and comes etc. It is very simple program yet very helpful if u want to monitor what go on in your network...

hay guys

i'm using a WRT54G v5,is it worth flashing DD-WRT into it?
what are the chances of bricking my router?

could someone pls provide me the site that has the full tutorial on flashing v5 routers?

Yes for WRT54G v5 you should be using the micro version of DD-WRT. What do you mean by comes with PPPoE ?

yes, SP2 micro comes with PPPOE setting. i'm using v5 now..

Approx how long they'll take for the RMA process? My AC adaptor is not functoning now, guess I'll bring it to RMA soon.

u should use dd-wrt.v23_micro_wrt54g.bin to flash v5 router...
i hv 1 wrt54g v5 had been flashed sp2 firmware..so far so good..rock stable since now 

Download [DD-WRT micro generic]. You may want to check [DD-WRT] to make sure there isn't a newer version than v23 SP2 beta 08/03/06. Do not use the one labelled 'WRT54G' or 'WRT54GS', use the 'generic' version.

DDNS features is still disable on this micro firmware.
i mainly use QoS which is not bad 
P2P/BT seems more stable than previous version.

i advise to u to buy GL instead of GS router.
i flashed more than 10 sets for my customers without any issues occured...

if u doing 1st time on V5 router (linksys ori firmware). it should be use micro "generic" firmware as the link mentioned.

after confirmed dd-wrt micro firmware been flashed. select dd-wrt.v23_micro_wrt54g.bin to flash V5 in the next future. b4 doing this, it is advice to reset ur router 1st...
