Hi,

I've a Asus WL-500g Premium router with White Russian installed. My broadband service has recently been upgraded to 20 mb/s but I'm still only getting 10 mb/s. The Asus router specs say it has a 'Bit Rate 10/100 Mbps', now I would presume that it would automatically run at 100 mbps if that speed is necessary, but we all know what presumption is. How do I check which speed is set and how do I change it? I can't find this info. in the docs/wiki and simply have no idea how to do this.

Many thanks to all you OpenWRT gurus.

Install 'ethtool' from backports-

ipkg install http://downloads.openwrt.org/backports/0.9/ethtool_3-0_mipsel.ipk

And then run 'ethtool eth1' (assuming eth1 is your WAN interface) to see the current speed and duplex settings.

For instructions on changing these settings, check out the ethtool man page.

Hope this helps,
Charlie

Charlie, thanks very much for the info. which worked a treat. I am getting 100Mbps so my network card is the only reason I'm getting 10 Mbps, not for long a new one is en-route.

Many thanks for taking the time to help, it's appreciated.
