Hi All,

Firstly - I'm new to OpenWRT so I may have missed something obvious :-)

Anyway, I have a buffalo WHR-HP-G54 running 8.09 ( r14127 ) and finding that I cannot get a throughput > 5mbps ...

Setup is like this;

Cable Modem (20mbps) ->  WHR-HP-G54 WAN Port -> 4 x Subnets on LAN Ports 1-4

Router has 5 ethernet ports on it and they are seperated to give me WAN + 1 Lan Subnets.

Running speed test with machine connected directly to cable modem I'm seeing typically around 15mbps+.  Connect the OpenWRT box in the middle and I'm seeing < 5Mbps.

Anyone have any ideas ?

Cheers

The same thing is happening to me on my WHR-HP-G54. I flashed X-Wrt Kamikaze 8.09rc2 onto mine a couple days ago and my internet slowed to a crawl. I'm looking at about 1mbit/s speeds. Plugging my computer directly into my cable modem gives me 15mbit/s. My upload speed is similarly horrible.

Is this happening to everyone? Is this a known bug?

I'm using the 2.4 kernel, will it help to run the 2.6 version? (I technically don't need my wireless right now)

Should I back off to the kamikaze 7 release?

Is there any way to install either the linux 2.6 version of kamikaze 8.09 or the kamikaze 7 release without destroying all of my setup?

Thanks,
  David

I found my problem. I had installed the "extra" version of X-WRT which by default enables QOS and puts a max download cap at 1024kbit/s  and 100kbit/s upload. I didn't visit the QoS setup page as I assumed it was disabled by default.  (*smacks forehead*)

This probably isn't the original poster's problem though.

2.4 or 2.6 kernel?
