#E4200 dd wrt download speeds Patch

However it doesn't seem to have 5ghz wifi support for the E4200 Is there any way to tune/optimize dd-wrt for a better WAN throughput? I have already disabled all services i don't need I would have thought that the hardware would be new enough to manage at least 130-140mbit (with the stock firmware) I think you are right, when i do a 32 simoultanous HTTP downloads the load goes to like 1.3 DD-wrt often has lower throughput than stock firmware or tomato. Sadly i can't use it because it doesn't support 5ghz wifi.Ĭan anyone figure out why i get fullspeed with TomatoeUSB and not with the stock firmware or dd-wrt?īecause DD-wrt requires more power to operate, which leaves less CPU and memory available for routing tasks. However i've just tried the TomatoeUSB firmware and it gives me complete fullspeed. But i was never able to reach more than 90mbit (dd-wrt) and 100mbit (stock)

Both with default settings, SPI on, SPI off, DMZ on my computer, etc etc etc. I tried a variety of different combinations: stock firmware (latest version from the website) and dd-wrt.

OP, are you using the same level (cat 5e +) patch cables in your tests? What changes are you making from both stock and dd-wrt flashes? Was your stock test from the out of the box linksys firmware? Frame Burst & Afterburner adjustments are for the radio(s) The op stated he is using / testing with wired connections. It's long, but there are some key items you'll want to check for. Maybe something like the MTU or so gets configured wrong with the router is directly connected to the modem? I'm really lost on what could be the cause Putting a server on the WAN port, and configuring the IPs statically gives me 300-700mbit WAN-to-LAN throughput (measured with iperf))

The WAN port/firmware of the router (same problem with dd-wrt and stock firmware.

My internet connection (see speedtests above).

I have a similar problem with the stock firmware, it seems to be capped at roughly 100mbit. (all wired connections, up speed and ping aren't interesting right now)

Im running a Linksys E4200 with DD-WRT v24-sp2 mega build 17201.Īnd this is one with PC-dd-wrt Router-ModemĪs you can see the download speeds drops dramatically when using the router. Posted: Fri 9:57 Post subject: Linksys E4200 Bad WAN speed
