    Padavan's Custom Firmware

    I'm watching the CPU Load and I see that for the wired, the CPU Load occasionally hits 99%. For wireless it peaks occasionally around 80%. While there is probably more to it, this test doesn't show the CPU as the bottleneck. The free memory varies around 54MB out of 123MB with both...

    Padavan's Custom Firmware

    This is the first firmware I have seen which has boosted the USB speeds. Wired it went up from 15MB/s to 25MB/s! Wireless it went from 5MB/s to 6MB/s. I am discussing the USB speeds in this thread: Best Firmware for USB Speed Can the Padavan developers determine why there would be a...

    Best Firmware for USB Speed

    Padavan's latest firmware (3.0.3.3-038) is a major improvement for wired USB speed and a modest improvement for wireless. Wired it went up from 15MB/s to 25MB/s! Wireless it went from 5MB/s to 6MB/s. From the changelog: - Added support scatter/gather DMA to Ralink Ethernet driver...

    Best Firmware for USB Speed

    Can anyone do a few USB tests comparing wired and wireless USB speeds? It seems to me that there should be no difference, assuming the wireless is set up properly. If everyone has this trouble, perhaps this could be an issue to be raised with the FW developers. Or if only some people have...

    Best Firmware for USB Speed

    I am using Win7. The Wireless Network Connection Status says 300Mbps. On the n56u: Firmware - 3.0.0.4.318* 2.4GHz Wireless Mode - Auto WPA2-Personal Multicast Rate - Disabled (There is no "Auto" to select even though it is recommended) *- This is just the latest firmware I have tried. There...

    Best Firmware for USB Speed

    True, I understand this isn't a NAS, so my expectations should be low. But why would it be 3x faster wired than wireless?

    Best Firmware for USB Speed

    Maybe my problem is not the FW, but it is my expectations. I ran a test and I found that when wired, I download from my USB at about 15MB/s. When wireless, it is about 5MB/s. When during the test, I was about 5 feet from the router, no wall between us. I tried it on the 5g, and the 2.4g...

    Best Firmware for USB Speed

    My primary concern with this router, RT-N56U, is the r/w speed of the USB HDD. I have seen people reference speeds increasing or decreasing with various ASUS and padavan versions, and I think the most recent padavan version someone mentioned a decrease in speed that they were unable to fix. I...
