Bandwidth cut in half

HI,

I have Gigabit internet service and generally get very close to 1 GB download, 970Mbps and higher, with factory firmware.

I have tried several versions of ddwrt. The only problem I have is that I get 50% of my bandwidth at best with any version of the firmware.

All settings are default except SSID and wireless security.

Did you find a solution ?

I've tried only the firmware from dd-wrt.

I went back to netgear R8000

I went back to netgear R8000-V1.0.3.46_1.1.32 and all is well again I get 960Mb speed. I hope Kong can  tell us if this an issue or an expected outcome with dd-wrt. I am hoping it can be fixed. I really liked the options that come with dd-wrt especially VPN client.

R8500. Gigabit FiOS.

R8500. Gigabit FiOS. Netgear FW I get around 500 Mbps on wifi with the combined 5 Ghz band. Kong DDWRT I don't yet see where to combine the bands, but so far I'm getting about 110 Mbps on the not merged 5GHz bands on my laptop and cell. I did enable stuff like fairness, etc, so I'm reasonably sure I caused a lot of the degradation. Still testing and tuning. Pages feel like they appear a lot faster, even if tests are a lot lower.

FWIW, wifi to my 8500 behind the FiOS router gets 110 MB up and down. Wifi directly to the FiOS router gets 250 Mbps on my cell. Haven't tested laptop to FiOS router directly yet.

I *really* wish there was a good, solid, modern/current doc for configuring DDWRT today. I know I could do better if there was, or at list be satisfied with some of the trade offs I'm making.

110 Mb, not MB. Auto correct

110 Mb, not MB. Auto correct on this phone is pretty aggressive.
