Bought a Buffalo WHR-G54S recently and the Buffalo claims it is able to do 2x range and 3x speed ( 125 Mbps ? ). What I need to find out from you folks if I load OpenWRT into the box, will I still get the so-called 2x range and 3x speed ? Or I would then downgrade things to 1xrange and 1x speed ? :-)
What does 3x speed really means ? Won't it mean breaking of the G standard and becoming proprietary ?
Hope someone could enlighten me on this.
Regards.
I think their claim is that by putting an amplifier on the transmitter it will maintain stronger connections and achieve higher speeds than the WHR-G54S. The 125 Mbps is referring to the proprietary Broadcom speedbooster. You can expect at most 30 Mb/s TCP throughput on broadcom speed booster connection.
OpenWRT will not slow your router down.
The discussion might have continued from here.
