[slim] Problem with a Linksys WRT54GL...Best firmware
Hi: I have a Linksys WRT54GL v1.1 router...If I use listening music (FLAC and MP3) with my SB3, later (several hours) the router it hangs...I was told that this is due to much traffic...I also was told that I must install a new third party firmware. The question is what is the best firware to this...I also use several computers, but I think the problem is due to music...

Seconding DD-WRT. I've been running it on a Linksys WRT54GL for about a year with not a single hiccup. It's a nice step-up from the Linksys code that comes on it. cheers, #!/ben -- bklaas "the Nokia770 skin guy" http://www.last.fm/user/bklaas/ bklaas's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34608 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Thank you very much... More opinions...) For example, I listened goo opinions about Tomato...but it uses the SVG format (that Adobe doesnt support anymore) for presenting some QoS...

Re: [slim] Problem with a Linksys WRT54GL...Best firmware
Third recommendation for DD-WRT. v23 SP2. But...what you're seeing shouldn't be happening even with the Linksys firmware. The GL version has twice the RAM the G versions do. It should not be running out of resources. All I can say, though, is that I've never had any problems with DD-WRT on my WRT54Gv4 (essentially a GL 1.0). I had the Linksys firmware on it for about 36 hours. :-) -- Mark Lanctot Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34608 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I have the much maligned WRT54G and even with old firmware I never had any problems; however, I use it exclusively with my Squeezebox. -- vdorta Silent computer, Windows Vista Ultimate, dBpowerAMP Reference/FLAC, Slimserver 6.5.2, Inguz Room Correction, wireless SB2 (Bolder digital & analog mods, Sonicap Platinum bypass caps, Bolder Deluxe Power Supply), Stello M200 monos, ACI Sapphire XLs + REL Storm III | Chaintech AV-710, JMT PPA headamp, AKG K601, Etymotics ER-4S vdorta's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1446 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34608 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Problem with a Linksys WRT54GL...Best firmware
I think this makes four recommendations now for DD-WRT. Haven't used it on your exact model of router, but my Buffalo router was very flaky with the stock firmware, and DD-WRT made it very solid. I haven't had one issue since I changed to DD-WRT, several months ago. -- CatBus CatBus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7461 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34608 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Problem with a Linksys WRT54GL...Best firmware
I'm a little late here, but since nobody mentioned it and I think its fantastic, I must recommend openWRT. May require a little more linux knowledge if you want to do anything fancy, but is a super clean implementation. DD-WRT is more gui-user friendly.

Re: [slim] Problem with a Linksys WRT54GL...Best firmware
I've used DD-WRT, and liked it... however I'm currently running Tomato, and I must say I'm impressed. It's got the best configuration UI I've ever seen on a router. A couple of cool features: -real time bandwidth graph -easy to use CIFS Client, so you can store bandwidth and log info on a UNC share, making that info durable between router reboots/power outages, etc. I can now reliable track how much bandwidth I use weekly/monthly, etc. -All the UI's use ajax, so many changes don't require page loads, and several of the graphs and tables are updated while you watch... pretty cool. -- Super-Gonzo Super-Gonzo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=190 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34608 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I use DD-WRT v23 SP2 on 2 different Linksys models and 1 Buffalo router.
