Topic: WhiteRussian X-wrt image on linksys wrt45gl - ul speed limited to 50kb

Hi, I flashed my wrt45gl to white russian x-wrt image, and everything went fine. I have a 5mb/5mb VDSL line and as I expected DL is ok, but when it comes tu UL it goes just upto 1/2 mb , that is cca 55kb/sec, I reconnected it directly and line is fine about 500kb/sec upload, but when I do it via router it is just 50kbs, I do not use QOS or something else. Where can I start fixing the problem!

tnx

Hi!

I have found the solution, it was that QOS was disabled, but anyhows the config file was read and enabled shaping ..

have no clue why ..

I have encountered a similar problem using the OpenWRT WhiteRussian 0.9 x-wrt image on my Linksys WRTSL54GS.

My ISP, Qwest, Advertises a 1536 kbps down, 896 kbps up connection.  My DSL Modem indicates that it has a 1536/896 connection. Now, if one allows 15% for overhead, I should see 1305 kbps down and 761 kbps up when communicating with devices over the internet.

I noticed that when I had my WRTSL54GS OpenWRT box between my PC and the DSL Modem, I would get 1289/464 kbps on average.  I checked out the QOS setting in /etc/config/qos:

/etc/config/qos

# INTERFACES:
config interface wan
        option classgroup  "Default"
        option enabled      0
        option upload       512
        option download     3072

       ...

Ah ha!  Taking 15% overhead off of a 512 kbps up connection would be about 464 kbps.  So, I matched my ISP's advertised rates:

/etc/config/qos

# INTERFACES:
config interface wan
        option classgroup  "Default"
        option enabled      0
        option upload       896
        option download     1536

       ...

That fixed my upload problem.  I could send data at 760 kbps, but I could only receive data at an average of 904 kbps.  After testing different QOS configurations, I found for my ISP's advertised rates, the QOS settings of 3072/896 worked best so that out of my 1536/896 connection I get an average 1258/635 kbps connection to various servers with a maximum transfer rate of 1312/760 kbps to my ISP, very close to a 15% drop due to overhead.  So, if anyone is still reading, my final settings for Qwest's 1536/896 package are:

/etc/config/qos

# INTERFACES:
config interface wan
        option classgroup  "Default"
        option enabled      0
        option upload       896
        option download     3072

       ...
