Put tomato onto my new Linksys WRT54GL 54Mbps Open Source Wireless Cable Router with a 20Mb Virgin Media cable connection. I was getting 20Mb download on the default Linksys firmware, just upgraded to Tomato and download speed has dropped to 10Mb. Is there some settings I need to change, just left everything at default to start with. Any help much appreciated - go easy, I'm a little noobish :halo:
Enable QoS - box is unticked Outbound Rate / Limit is defaulted at 230kbits/s Inbound Limit is defaulted at 1000kbits/s I take it I need to enable QoS and edit the inbound/max bandwidth limits myself? EDIT: Another question The lights for DMZ and Cisco Systems setup button on the router are out - they were previously lit. Probably fine, but just wondering what it means
If QoS is disabled, you're having a different problem. Specifically which Tomato version did you install, and from where did you download it? As for the LEDs, they are user-controlled. Set them however you wish. You have some control under Administration/Buttons / LED, much more using the led utilitiy via telnet/ssh. Rodney
I can enable the QoS by ticking the box and it opens up all the Outbound/Inbound Limit stuff. I downloaded 1.22 from here.
Did you clear NVRAM after upgrading? ("Administration"->"Configuration"->"Restore Default Configuration")
Nope will try that Wired. But I can enable the QoS settings and manually configure my Outbound/Inbound limits can't I...or do I not want to do that.
Not until you get your problem straightened out. It was only mentioned earlier because if QoS is enabled, having the wrong values can hurt bandwidth like you're seeing. Since you have it disabled, you have something else going on. Hopefully, clearing NVRAM (thorough) will clear it up for you. This clears out all of Linksys firmware settings, some of which may conflict with Tomato.
Haha, don't get me wrong. I wasn't judging; I make typos all of the time. It's just that that typo made the sentence very humorous to me. In my head, I heard it like a disclaimer to a drug commercial :biggrin:
Keep it simple, you are being throttle by Virgin Media....... Tomato firmware is not he reason you are getting 5mb download speed. http://allyours.virginmedia.com/html/internet/traffic.html
I know it's an old thread, but clearing my NVRAM solved my speed problem (as low as 300mbps at times) Heartfelt thanks Sgt Pepper :biggrin: :clap::clap::clap: :flowers:
