Do I use the 'uci set clkfreq' command or something similar.? I'm using a wrt54gl.

same use than WR, no ?

Do not over clock. Stop this...

Yep, it's the same.

nvram set clkfreq=***
nvram commit
reboot

For what its worth, when I tried to overclock my router, I made a brick.  Then I found out that the cpu speed is set so early in the boot process, it was _very_ difficult to debrick, even with jtag.  I dont even try overclocking anymore.

I thought that nvram was halted in the Kamikaze versions.?

No, the nvram is still used for such things, I believe stuff like MAC address and other things that are static are still there. Basically things that aren't really part of a configuration. Most every configuration uses uci (read: text files basically).

And I've personally bricked 2 routers by overclocking, so really you shouldn't anyway unless you can jtag.

I test all frequencies on mine... so i won a brick each time or an unstable routeur...
so I debricked it by jtag without probleme (erase nvram)
the only frequences that run perfectly are : the original and the maximal (with a small P100 fan without fan)

$@m how much % did you overclock you router?

so mine is from 200 to 300 (the max)

but I put a heatsink on CPU, RAM, transciever, and a diode (because consumption increases) everything that was hot
for stablility

I do the same thing on a wrt54Gv1.1 but I must add a fan for stability

Not on my Netgear, it's not - there's no "nvram" command to be found.

So, all those heatsinks - even on a diode!? - so that you could get a 300 MHz machine? I can't quite convince myself that this was worth it. Let your 200 MHz router be a router, and let some other CPU handle the over-200MHz tasks...

Each one does what he wants

it is a priceless modification (all heatsinks are from old machines) and my router is quiet stable.

Why I put one everywhere ? because temperature increase everywhere so have the best exanche between routeur and air, I put one one each hot chip. Maybe it is not necessary, but it free so why don't do that ?

Why overclock ? see the the wiki
