Gargoyle Forum

DSL-5300 is an absolute overkill as a dumb modem. If your ISP does not provide you a modem, most budget modems will work. If you want an all-in-one device, openwrt supports some (https://openwrt.org/toh/views/toh_modem_supported?dataflt%5B0%5D=modem_%3DVDSL2). Don't have any info on how it will beha...

Lantis's setup is a way to go.
That has been my setup for many years now:
- Old Setup for 4+ years, used: ISP's VDSL Sagemcom Modem/Router - DMZ - Gargoyle Router; no problems at all
- Current setup (about 2 months): ISP's Fiber modem/router - PPPOE - Gargoyle Router; no problems at all

Great post!

Great. You're right. WDR4300 uses hardware NAT. I've reached 960MBs (download) on stock firmware. Openwrt does not use hardware NAT -- the heavy job is made by the CPU alone, so speeds are much lower. I have the same issue. Can`t enable QOS because my router is not fast enough. DDWRT's QOS is much w...

Guys,

Quotas in this case = QoS?

WNDR4300 v1 is Atheros AR9344 (560 MHz)
My router (WDR4300 v1) has the same CPU. With QoS enabled, it won`t go faster than 70MBs.

Mind double-checking if the main router has enough horsepower to reach 140MBs with QoS (or Quotas...) enabled?

SAME problem here, but with my niece. >.< I have 10 MB for many peoples/devices. How i resolve: Fixed one IP on MAC device. (I already fix all IP on MAC) In Quotas i set: Up: 8 MByte Down: 87 MByte Then i go to /etc/config/firewall Edit in the quota option reset_interval '300' Every 5 min the devic...

If you take 2 mins per day to read this forum you`ll realise how incorrect that statement is.

Chage it to gargoyle 1.9.2 or previous. The problem should disappear. Plz report back

Which firmware version you are using on the repeater?

Find your gateway and leave 100000 ping 1/s on it. Analyze the result looking for instabilities. QoS use this basic procedure to balance yourself. With ACC on, it mostly reached 8.x mbps max because ACC would go a little down over time, depending on ping responses. Will post more info as I see how ...
