WRT54G3G-ST Upload Issue

glacierjima · Posted: Mon Feb 18, 2008 8:38 pm Post subject:

I upgraded my router, and I have seen a little improvement, I've had mid to upper 300k uploads. Nothing great, but it's a little improvement. I'm stunned..almost a year to get a 100k improvement. What should I put on my Christmas list for next year, another 100k?

I applied it last weekend and things have been working fine. Removed the QoS fix from before and uploads are still good. With the previous firmware I was averaging about 1024/400. Now its about 1200/500 when I have a good or excellent signal.

Guys, can you post which PC card you are using with the router to better determine each users results.

My router has been rock solid since September. I upgraded the firmware to help with the upload speed. It did help. I went from 800/200 to 800/400. Weird thing though, my signal strength went from excellent to good. Probably just coincidence.

Did I mention how much I hated Wild Blue?

Well, I flashed my router to the latest firmware. My results are good and bad.

Good news is, the uploads are better but still not the same as using the card in my laptop. I am using the PC5750 air card.

Bad news is, the router is unresponsive when trying to log into it. The internet appears to be working fine though. Sometimes i can get to the first screen of the router but most times it times out.

here are my results:

Before:
1308 down
127 up

1328 down
108 up

1324 down
110 up

After:
1312 down
335 up

1337 down
366 up

1343 down
370 up

Another note, the new firmware rendered the admin pages useless on my router. I was unable to get in the router to reflash it back to 2.0.0.9. the page simply wouldn't load. I had to use the program TFTP to get the old firmware back on the router. Be careful with this newest firmware. My router had been rock solid before trying this new firmware. Not a single problem in 3 months. I'm going to make some comments on the linksys site about this. This sucks.

There must be something seriously weird about this firmware as several people have reported the same issue as you. However, I flashed two different WRT54G3G's without incident and still have access to the admin pages.

I flashed the upgrade a week or so ago. I didn't have to power off/on, or hold the reset. As soon as it was done flashing, the changes were available. I also now get the signal strength indicator that didn't work with the xp500 card.

Before upload speeds were 400 - 450kbps

After upload speeds are typically 650kbps, and sometimes have reached 700kbps. One very large upload reached over 900kbps.

I have the Qos set to auto.

I have to say this router is working 100% with this latest firmware. Not one single hickup, reset, disconnect, or lockup experienced since this firmware was installed.
