Need help with Wireless router

[PhotogBlake]

got a linksys wrt54g version 5 which i know is a crappy version but i cant do much on that. I noticed it has been running real slow and tested it finding out it was geting like .5mbs a second. So i reset it with no change. Then did a hard reset and finally got 3mb a sec. well then i unhooked the router and went direct to my mac and got 8mbs a sec speeds. So big dif but why and i got the latest firmware. Is their a different router i can get that wont be so much like the Linksys 54g.

Did you do a hard reset (Factory Defaults) or a soft reset? Do a hard reset, do a DNS flush and renew on your cable modem, and then plug in your router and see if theres any change.

Dman maybe it's got something to do with you having a mac?

DMM unfortunately those versions of the wrt are the worse. The best versions are far gone and for sale all over ebay. Do like I did .. install ddwrt and improve the OS, throughput and functionality.. I also wouldnt mess with an N or anything else other than Cisco :)

2 variations to the procedure.. 1 will work for you depending on your version..

Read the steps 2 times and go step by step when you perform them. Only idiots create bricks.

thanks but i have a mac lb and the software would not run on here.

thanks but i have a mac lb and the software would not run on here.ddwrt is a OS you install as a replacement for the POS VMWorks which is on the WRT54G you have installed now. Has nothing to do with your computer at all. :nerd:

O duh i understood that but i meant the software required to put ddwrt onto your router. They are exe files..
