Just upgraded firmware and no change in signal strength? It even dropped 2-3% Do you have experience in increasing the "Transmit Power" Default now is 42mW.
1a. Can I flash for example tomato-K26USB-1.28.RT-MIPSR2-128-BT.trx firmware to my router, and will it work? Is there some problems with that firmware in this router for example 5GHz don't work or some stability issues? Does it fit in router's flash?
1b. Does this firmware includes working Bittorent client and DLNA server? What is the diffrence between this and for example tomato-K26USB-1.28.RT-MIPSR2-28-BTgui-VPN.trx firmware? I already checked that it shoul be (I think) MIPSR2 version, not the MIPSRV1, am I correct? I read, that version tomato-WNDR3400-K26USB-NVRAM64K-1.28.RT-N5x-MIPSR2-128-MiniIPv6.chk doesn't have this things, because it's a mini version
1c. How should I do this? Can I upgrade via GUI (i'm afraid to experiment, my router is still in foil ;) )? There is information, that I shouldn't do that, but maybe is possible if I'm upgradind Tomato to newer Tomato? Can I do upgrade via commands, not GUI that will pass the thing when I brick the router :) I'm a little bit afraid.
2. If firmware 101 is only one I can get, how to install missing packets? I found, that I have to install ipkg, but this is very complicated for me. Also I'm not sure if it could show DLNA server in GUI (I think, that it should work with Bittorent, as there is a GUI option for it)
3. Is there a possibility to do things I want using DDWRT firmware?
4. How could I do this using as little Linux interface as possible ;)
The changelog gives no reasons to expect improved signal strength:
CHANGELOG:

It seems I have problem with the new firmware. Can I downgrade to previous version, and if so where can I find it?
