WGR614v8 running dd-wrt

Having installed dd-wrt on a Linksys WRT54Gv8, I wanted to get the same features on my trusty WGR614. Story short, read the instructions, downloaded software and couldn't wait until the next morning to give it a try.
I did performed a router upgrade to the latest release from Netgear, found out they added a basic support for QoS settings and wireless repeaters.... but I wanted more.
Router is running great, modified the wireless security settings and all the laptops, including a macbook, authenticated as they previously did with the Netgear code.
Glad to see the hotspot options, I might give it a try.
Thank you, Nachi and Peter.

Hello, again. After nine days

Hello, again. After nine days of running great, the wireless connection started giving problems, with  applications becoming very slow to respond, pings to default LAN gateway had 25-75% loss and the max connection rate reported by dd-wrt was 1 Mbps. Memory usage had crept up from 79% to 96% earlier in the morning before the problem started.

Anyhows, connected to the router via telnet on the wireless side and performed a reload. Router came back and everything went back to normal.

I do VPN for at least 10 hrs/day plus have two other computers that connect via wireless, only.

For what it's worth, thought to give this forums' admins a heads up. Will let dd-wrt still in the router and see how it behaves for the next month or so, I'd hate to revert to using the wrg614 as a wireless bridge and fire up the Netscreen, which gets a bit hot for my taste.

 

Good night everyone!
