Just running a query by you. I have successfully installed DD-WRT on to a Linksys EA6350 as I wanted more control over network and administration settings on a network wide basis. First time delving into the world of WRT firmware on routers, any things I should look out for an upkeep when using the firmware? I would use QoS but I don't think the CPU on the router is powerful enough to handle 1Gbps and QoS together. For any none networking lot who decided to stumble drunkenly in the thread anyway, I am sorry for the gobbledygook above  |

For any none networking lot who decided to stumble drunkenly in the thread anyway, I am sorry for the gobbledygook above Not sure on QOS settings but, something I found helped a lot with DD-WRT on a 15 year old netgear I use as a range extender, setting an auto restart every night made it a lot more reliable. It's generally loads better than the firmware on any ISP supplied router. Also, setting the wireless band to N only made the wireless connection to my ISP router a lot more stable for me (only useful if you're not using any older devices with it though). |

Any chance we could run this thread with English subtitles?

I'll set up an auto-restart on it, I imagine that it does a cache flush? I did N Only after some reading, and I've also increased the signal output from the 71 mW default to 120mW. Luckily where the router is situated it's quite cool so hopefully will not cause overheating, but will monitor temps. The 6350 is connected to a shitty Netgear WiFi extender right now but managed a 25Mbps increase in download through it. Once I upgrade from the 6350 I'll be setting it up as the repeater. |

Yep, I guess the restart flushes caches. I ended up having to do it once every few days anyway so thought I might as well automate it. I've never messed with signal output but haven't had to as it lives in my kitchen window and covers the garden with clear line of site. |

We have terrible dead spots around the house, and can't really move the router to the living room as there is no coax box I can hook up to, so figured changing the signal output is better than nothing. Working an absolute treat so far. |
