Well it took me a bit to find out the cause of a recent speed degradation with my Linksys WRT54G. I installed HyperWRT 1.4 recently and soon after I noticed my speed of my 3Mbps DSL went from 2.8Mbps (actual) to 680Kbps. It took me a while, but I finally found the previous HyperWRT 1.3. I installed this version and everything is back to normal. What happened with v1.4???? Some background: Verizon 3Mbps DSL with PPPOE Thanks, Rich
Hi! Can it be the following reason :?: ----- Quote on ----- The default Transmit Power is now 28mW, if you want 42mW like previous versions, don't forget to set it higher. ----- Quote off -----
Same thing here. I was using the BEFSR41. I bought the WRT54GS and I installed the HyperWRT 1.4. The download speed went down from 1200kbps to 500kbps. I think it has to do with the QoS. If I disable it seams ok (I am not sure yet). If I enable it goes down again. Dimitris
No, that assumes that the power was 28mW. It was not. The power was still 42mw. However, this is a moot point because the speed degradation was noticed over both a wireless and a wired connection. Rich
Instead of doing a speedtest, do a real world download, from a decent site with lots of b/width, microsoft.com maybe. You'll probably see you're still downloading at around the same speed as b4.
Tried that, switched back to original firmware with better speed. Updated to HyperWRT 1.4 twice and did the same thing. Better off in using original 2.07.1. Please fix 1.4 asap.
Strange, I can't think of anything I added in this version that could give this problem. I asume you are not using the batbox plugin (as it takes more memory, this could explain the lower speeds). If possible give some more info on what connection you use to connect (dhcp, pppoe, static, ...) and if you have a wrt54g or wrt54gs.
I am currently using a WRT54GS. I have nothing running on it. A direct download and flashed with HyperWRT 1.4. I am currently on Time Warner RoadRunner cable using DHCP.
Can you make HyperWRT 1.3 available again? Can you make 1.3 available again? For a comparison? I seem to have deleted mine... *sheepish grin*
Same thing her I noticed barely over 1Mb speeds after installing HyperWap 2.0, but rolling back to 1.3 brought my speed back up to peak levels (~4.5Mb). I'm running a WRT-54G
I had experienced the the exact same thing with my connection after i installed the laterst verison of hyperWRT. I have 5 PCs at my house. 4 of them are connected wirelessly to the router and one, my main PC, is connected directly to the WRT54GS. My wireless PCs were getting great speed but my main PCs was dragging ass. I tried all the tricks that I could think of but nothing I did improved things until I changed the QOS of the port where the main PC is connected from low to high. And that did the trick. For some reason the low setting was putting the damper on things even where the other PCs were not generating any traffic. Try it and let me know. Franziius.
if you are having problem then use a firmware that works. remember this guys. firmware upgraded are released from linksys to fix certain issues. these so called issues may not affect you so there is no reason to upgrade is there? remeber the saying, if it aint broken.... dont fix it. Avenger has adds his feature the the latest firmware, yet the vast majority of the older versions he has done have the same feature that he added. differences are linksys firmare tweaks, fixes that you may not need.
