I am having issues with my connection speed. It has gone down by half. I have a Linksys WRT54G v2 with v4.20.8 HyperWRT 2.1b1+tofu6.2 firmware.
I don't really know what to do cause i am new to having a router, and i read WRT54G has issues, and i want to know how to fix em.
is it a netgear?
No it's a Linksys.
How do you know that the speed has slowed by half and how do you know it's caused by the router?
Is that official Linksys firmware?
Listen to VB.
I can't think of Linksys having that type of difficulty apart from wrongo firmware or bunged-up settings.
I have two Linksys'; a WCG200 and a WRT54G for use here and there, and I could only effect the '54 by playing with the security settings/encoding (which I recovered from without calling for help), and the cable gateway '200 has been faultless, apart from a connection dropout when the DL speed breaks about 300k/sec.
That last is a bit curious, but I've only had to re-boot the router about 4 times in 8 months, so...:rolleyes:
How do you know that the speed has slowed by half and how do you know it's caused by the router?
I don't know if it is caused by the router, I guess it isnt cause i hooked the modem directly to my pc and got the same speeds. I am suppose to have speeds aroung 600kb/s, and now I am getting speeds of around 100kb/s.
Is that official Linksys firmware?
No, it modified firmware
So. It's not the Linksys router that's problem then.
Now you're getting 100kb/s doing what?
Is it a wireless router?
Could be a thieving neighbour it is.
Yea it is wireless, but no one else is on the network.Quote:

Are you using it wirelessly? If not then you can disable that feature.
The other computer connected it wireless, so have to keep it active.Quote:

And you didn't answer what you were doing at 100kb/s.
I was talking others, as in people trying to steal from me :-pQuote:

Perhaps that server is slow?
Have you tried internet speed tests?
I suggest dd wrt

thats what Im running, but if you only use the wireless close to your base I wouldn't turn up the gain, thats just a open invitation for more people the higher you set it
Witch one do i download?Quote:
