i just noticed that WRT54G2 is supported

hi, i've just gotten myself a linksys wrt54gl ver 1.1 and understands that it does support third party firmwares (like dd-wrt, etc). but i didnt know it doesnt have an internal adsl modem, so now should i get another cheap modem and stick with it or sell it off and get another wifi modem+router?

if i were to get another modem, which adsl modem should i get? any cheap modems will do?

thanks!

Just get another cheap modem got many ppl sell in forum second hand ADSL modem less than rm100 :-) make sure modem in bridge mode

hi i would just like to know, the current stable version for dd-wrt is the v24 sp1 right? but when i go to the download page for linksys wrt54gl v1.1, (http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/stable/dd-wrt.v24%20SP1/Consumer/Linksys/WRT54GL_1.1/)

there is a list with alot of different types dd-wrt to download, mini, vintage, standard, mega, generic, etc, so which should i download? i cant find the one with wrt54gl name in it. i know the mega is not for me cuz my router only supports up till 4mb, should i download the generic one?

thanks!

wait, i just found out about tomato.... hmmm seems like more ppl have more good points towards tomato than dd-wrt...

hey guys/gals,

anyone using the QoS in dd-wrt? i'd like to double confirm which has the highest priority? Exempt or Premium? according to the Wiki, it says:

"Furthermore, prioritized classes (Bulk - Premium) have piority on the exempt class. "

so meaning Premium -> Express -> Standard -> Bulk -> Exempt

am i getting this right?

Yes that's correct

ok cool.

Thanks! i've set the QoS on the port as well as MAC address. shud be good enuff rite?

It should be good enough, however exempt means that it is not included in shaping. So technically its exempt first... then premium and so on. Not sure why the other guy doesn't understand basic english. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/exempt

lol....thats the problem. if my english serves me well. exempt meaning it will be left untouched, as stated in their wiki as well.

but then on the lower part of their wiki, the one that i quoted from. it says that the prioritized settings will have priority over exempt. i also confused, so to be on the safe side i just made whoever i wanna give priority to have premium, then the rest go to either express or bulk. did it on both physical port and MAC address just to double confirm

but does this take up more processing power on the router? or should i just leave physical ports as exempted, then i set the QoS on the MAC address instead. so the router only needs to process it on the MAC address, instead of processing it twice on the physical and then MAC address.

please advice! thanks!

You can try both and experience it :-)

From that you can know which one is better

You also can use rflow to monitor packets

hmmmm.....i guess i can do it ler, but abit troublesome coz i'll need to set it then monitor. so if anyone here has experience in this can just point me into the right direction?

i'm using rflow all the while to monitor the usage of each pc so i can catch the culprits.

Install a firewall like monowall so u can manage ur network more efficiently, using this setup will totally block the culprit since u only enabled the allowed ports to work 100% effective

ohhh no, i actually dun wanna block the port totally, coz the router is in my room. if i wanna block it totally, i can just unplug the cable it's just that my siblings are torrenting non-stop 24/7. by right policy is that torrenting can only start after 12am

so since they don't listen, i'll have to set them to bulk and myself to Premium.

i wonder does the bittorent services in the services list of QoS works? thought of configuring that also to set at bulk.

it has been supported since last year in August im im not mistaken

tried the v24-sp2. wrt54gl cannot established ppoe connection for some unknoen reason. Have to revert back to v24-sp1.

Restore to factory default then try again config the ppoe :-) it should works. Use the reset button for 30 seconds

I tried everything including restore to default factory. Still no wan ip.

Use the web flash to revert back to older version v24 sp1 is stable :-)

Hai semua..

I'm a fan of dd-wrt firmware.
i'm already flash dlink, asus and buffalo.

But never flash linksys GL.
its GL can beat buffalo?
Because i think need to change becoz buffalo WHR HP G54 is limited curently.
The price gain so high.
