Slow wifi speed on wgr614l with dd-wrt v24preSP2 build 12533
Hi Guys,

Recently I updated my WGR614l to
dd-wrt build 12533 downloaded right from dd-wrt web site. Now my wifi speed is
about 500KB/sec, does not go up :( I tried disabling all additional services
including firewall, still no luck.

Here is my top:

root@NETGEAR:/proc/net# top

Mem: 11424K used, 1604K free, 0K shrd, 1140K buff,
4760K cached

 Here is my
/proc/interrupts:

root@NETGEAR:/etc/init.d# cat /proc/interrupts

CPU0

2: 1621295 MIPS eth1

3: 438 MIPS serial

4: 248299 MIPS eth0

7: 9351797 MIPS timer

What could cause high CPU load
for
ksoftirqd_CPU0? Can it be somehow related to dd-wrt kernel 2.4
vs 2.6 and broadcom drivers? If yes, what dd-wrt build  can I use?

 Thanks
in advance! Have a good day!

Update 1: How about using
eko builds? Are they differ from what is linked from the router DB on dd-wrt web
site? Here is the txt and the firmware files: http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/down.php?path=downloads%2Fothers%2Feko%2F...

Hey Guys, I've disabled QoS

Hey Guys, I've disabled QoS (had it to raise http priority) and now I am back at 1,2MB/sec when copying from appletv to windows desktop (both on the same wifi, connected wireless).
