Issues occur with many routers, including routers running DD-WRT, when using the router with heavy P2P applications. The router becomes 'slow' over time, and restarting helps for a short time. Some symptoms can be:

* Slow web-interface, or cannot connect at all to web interface
* Slowing transfer of data, e.g. browsing, after a reboot
* Not responding to ping
* Router Crash or even rebooting

Usually the culprits are heavy P2P software like Emule, Bittorrent, uTorrent, Azureus, Shareaza or something similar. These programs, by default, can require a lot of connections which could cause the routers' ip_conntrack table to get full.

* Especially BitTorrent's DHT feature sends thousands of UDP packets that quickly overflow this table.

Routers affected with this issue are the most common types of routers running DD-WRT.

Yup, most likely that is the culprit. I cant do anything if that the case. If I close mine, my other two housemate might use it. T__T

Thanks MX510, but one question, it didnt slow over time, it stuck right after I click the upload button. T__T

using Tomota by vtek mod near 1 month and flash to this special edition. the qos improved compare with non-special edition but one problem is when running p2p, I cant access the router interface.

i would to ask those using wrt54gl and upgraded to v24 from v23
do u all notice the router response becomes slower now? like clicking a link in the router management page, it takes longer to load the page... in my case it's so slow it's like loading an internet page...

humm...dd-wrt no love for WRT54G v7, right? :'(

i lol and lol'ed hard to believe that you actually purchased the special edition and then again offered to flash new wrt54gl with
the special firmware, come on ... tell us where did you torrent it

just do a google search on it and u can find the torrent already

I've flash this DD-WRT V24 SP1 into my
Dlink DIR-300 router... its works well

does the routers need frequently to reboot itself (Keep Alive - Schedule Reboot) to clear its resources after some operations time?

I thought that OSS (*nix) doesn't need frequent reboot & it was designed not to reboot very frequent.

Even my Aztech 600EW can't last until 1 month 24/7 running no problem until it mess-up the DNS & had to be rebooted.

My WRT54Gv7 stock FW (of course stock - no 3rd party supported) around 2 weeks 24/7 operation - need to reboot because Web GUI cannot be logon...

- both router were located in my room & no special mod to install heatsink/fat whatsoever added - just plain stock. Maybe because i don't do torrent or p2p. hurmmm...

Just got my WRT54GL with v24 sp1 special today...1 time setup need to reboot several times - that was ok, hoping this router will be stable as previous 1

$ uptime
12:54PM up 484 days, 6:47, 1 users, load averages: 0.09, 0.08, 0.07

U bought the WRT54GL with v24 sp1 special is new or 2nd hand?
For my assumption if it is new should be no problem.

My personal opinion the DD-WRT is far more stable than default firmware.

New...

yes as i mentioned earlier... there is no issues regarding my new wrt54gl...

my concern is - as i can see ppl keep on saying that "the need to set keep alive for rebooting etc etc" - is it true?

What i can say is... i think no need, unless u're running lots of DHCP users or lots of connection (p2p)
but as u say... u dun p2p... i think should be no problem.

Cuz im using DIR-300 with DD-WRT v24 beta, running as smooth as silk...

I got one DIR-300 with 24/7 p2p on DD-WRT v24 SP1.. average around 3 days then web interface cannot login already..

so i set it to auto reboot every day midnight.. now running smooth

U try to set this

Maximum Ports 4096
TCP Timeout (in seconds) 480
UDP Timeout (in seconds) 60

I think this will help

All sifu here, i wanna ask if i flash my WRT54G2 to this DD-WRT firmware, it is i can set the setting like u guys use although u guys dint use the same modem like me, right??? Can i set my modem(Linksys AM300) as Bridge mode only, then set my broadband router(If successful flash to DD WRT) as PPPOE???
