). Anyway, since it was mine to play with I decided to try and update the firmware.. I knew Tomato quite well, and had originally started with DD-WRT... but OpenWRT is the only current firmware that included the necessary naming to work with this router and I somehow followed links here.After much frustration, I have 1.7.1 firmware loaded with the only changes being the SSID names and the IP range I use. Hard wired computers are showing the full 60/4, but my 2 laptops are stuck at 20/4. I don't really NEED more speed to the laptops, but that's not the point.
Is this simply a limitation of wireless? One is on 2.4GHz 'N' and the other is on 5GHz 'G' ~ both are within 20' of the router and show no change if I walk into the same room. There's a little bit of other wireless signal around me, but it's all Very weak signal.
Is there more info I can provide? Maybe just a link to a "Hey, I'm ignorant and here's more info" page? This is simply out of my depth of understanding.
Thanks!
