    Slow client speeds behind Asus-WRT(Merlin Build)-flashed N66U

    Update I know it's been a long long time since my last post, but just to create a proper ending for this thread: I've eliminated the router all together, and performance improved marginally little. (It went from 59.6 Kbit/sec to 59.9 Kbit/sec.) So the router is not draining performance, I...

    Slow client speeds behind Asus-WRT(Merlin Build)-flashed N66U

    No, QoS is disabled. That was the first thing I thought it might have been. However, I have never even enabled QoS, so any "lingering settings" should not be there. (Since it was never activated..) For the sake of testing I'm using wired connections. The setup I'm testing with is: Cable Modem...

    Slow client speeds behind Asus-WRT(Merlin Build)-flashed N66U

    Thank you for your response gotmilk. (And the rest of you obviously as well!) I was already settling into the idea that the router was "pushed to its limits" and let's be reasonable 4 MB/s is not bad for general usage. So I'll leave that part for what it is. (Just a reminder: I'm most...

    Slow client speeds behind Asus-WRT(Merlin Build)-flashed N66U

    You are absolutely correct. However, my question originally was: Is this to be expected? These routers sure came a long way and looking at the consumption vs the "power" of the N66U. (It truly is quite a beast.) But still, could I expect more given these numbers? Or should I just accept the...

    Slow client speeds behind Asus-WRT(Merlin Build)-flashed N66U

    Hi there, With all respect, not trying to provoke a war here :-). I tend to disagree. I've been (hopefully) paying good attention on where to write MB (byte..) and Mbit (the obvious counterpart). In a nutshell: My previous setup (home server with FreeBSD) gave me me a nice throughput...

    How to rename clients?

    Hey there, I'm by far no expert, but as far I as can figure the hostnames you're looking for are set by the clients themselves. If they are like Windows-clients, you can set it in "Advanced System Settings" (formerly known as Computer Management afaik..). On linux based system it's prolly...

    Hard Drive plugged in 24/7?

    I would say it's completely up to you. I've installed optware and created a swap partition on my external HDD so I kinda forced myself to keep it on 24/7. (Since I'm not powering off my router.) The HDD has been running for a week non-stop now and prior to that it was attached to a...

    Slow client speeds behind Asus-WRT(Merlin Build)-flashed N66U

    Greetings to everyone, Since a week I've replaced my home server (BSD-based) with the N66U since my home server was not doing anything more than being an idle router.. However, since the swap I've noticed several things which completely frazzle me. I've installed transmission through optware...

    [TUTORIAL] Native Transmission on asuswrt routers through optware

    My cache was on 2 MB for some reason, increased it to 6. It's still stuck at lower speeds, but it seems like the CPU stress is a tad lower.. (4 MB/s at around 80% cpu) However: How that might be related, I still have no idea. The strange thing is however, if I install a torrent client on...

    [TUTORIAL] Native Transmission on asuswrt routers through optware

    Performance of Transmission Hello everyone, first time poster here. First of all, I wish you all the best for this upcoming year. I know it's late, but I kinda missed it around the forums here. A tiny introduction: I've been trying to replace my home-server (BSD based) with a more...
