Speed drops for few seconds

[ntop]

Hi!

I have a Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH router and chose Gargoyle as the firmware because of the stability and printer support. Stock does not support printers, DD-WRT keeps rebooting like once a day. Gargoyle fixed both of these problems. Thanks for that!

But here is the one problem I have. When using wifi connection, the connection speed drops to zero about once a minute and stays zero for few seconds. No data moving at all, everything stops. Then it resumes and so on... I have tried changing wireless channels, resetting the router and I even upgraded to 1.7.0 firmware, but no luck. Is there anything else I could try to fix this small but terribly frustrating annoyance?

Thanks in advance for any help that you might be able to provide!

Oh and I forgot to mention that I tried setting the router to 20Mhz only state. Also, I have exprerienced this with several devices. Laptop, phone, television and tablet so this should not be anything computer related.

Not really an answer to your question I know but I have this exact same router and have used Gargoyle on it for many years with many versions including 1.7.0 and have never experienced the problem you describe.

I would run 'dmesg' and 'logread' from the command-line and see if there is anything there that might help you.

Hi! Thanks for the reply.

I decided to try and reboot the router and then try downloading a big file and then run those commands to see if there is maybe something that could be worked on... And weirdly enough, the problem seems to be gone Nothing has changed from yesterday and I rebooted the router yesterday many times.

If the problem comes back I'll run those commands and come back for advice.

Bye for now

I was going to suggest a failsafe reset (factory reset)
