i think dd-wrt has auto, which will (afaik) make it try to find a clear channel

You could also see what channel it is operating on, if there are people next door (say you live in a unit), which are using wireless, which is almost certain these days. If say they are on channel 9, you should not be using any channel near that plus/minus 2 or 3, for example you could try 6 or 12. The easier option is just to try a bunch of channels and do a test copy.

        I've got a D-Link dir-300 flashed with dd-wrt (v24) and my network
        performance is shocking. If I transfer a file to another
        machine, scp
        reports 2 MB per second which steadily drops until I get down to
        about
        200 KB per second at which stage it will vary from 200KB/sec up
        to about
        450KB/sec. If I'm logged into another machine it feels much like
        a 9600
        modem so I assume the latencies are very high as well.

        iwlist scan reports signal quality is 95/100 and I'm about 1.5
        metres
        from the base station. There are no other networks that I can
        see that
        occupy the same channel and there is no other equipment that
        transmits
        on the same band. On other networks I can sustain at least 2MB/sec

        Does anyone have any idea as to what might be going on here or
        at least
        where to start looking?
