Is there any other APs in the vicinity ? In that case you set the channel in such a way that interference would be minimum. As you already set mode as g+n. So you should be able to connect in n mode. Does your wireless client support n mode ?
We live in a rural area with poor cellphone coverage.
We are using a Samsung device - rebranded by Verizon - that connects to the Internet and provides a cellphone signal in the house. It seems to use a lot of bandwidth.
We have fiber-optic Internet service.
There are several PC's in the house and one or more may be streaming video at any moment.
It is a mixed "g" and "n" environment.
We are seeing some bogging-down of throughput and dropped connections.
How do we tune the Tomato settings (latest Tomato firmware has been installed) to improve performance?
Thanks!

We are out in the country, I have only once ever even detected another AP.
The router is a 3500L.

That means there is no scope of interference. So if your wireless client supports 802.11n mode then you should get high performance.

It is odd, if I get a connection to the Router in 3 seconds then I know that step is good, otherwise if it tries longer it will fail.
Then with getting a DHCP address, it must happen in about 7 seconds (I will see 1 3 or at most 3 second retry text) -- if it takes longer (I will see 5, 6, 7, 8 second retry text) then I know that it will fail to get a DHCP address.
When both happen in sequence then I will have a good connection and a usable DHCP address.
I cannot figure out why the inconsistency and why on only one of 4 laptops -- and the one nearest to the Router!
Perhaps there is a problem in the internal Wifi?

This is not the problem of the router. I think wifi in that laptop has some problem. Otherwise it would happen to other laptops also.
