Last night, I setup my wnr3500l for the first time.
I used Tomato and couldn't access the device from the next room. My wifi dropped to 6MBPS or lower!
When I switched back to the factory Netgear firmware...then it works fine.
Anyone else experience this? Is it a known issue? Is there a way to boost the signal?
I have had no wireless problems with my Tomato (beta 11) firmware. The signal is as good as my old dlink DIR655. I did boast the signal from the default 42 to 71. I get slightly better numbers on iStumbler but otherwise cannot tell any difference. Where I am, my system has to compete with 30 or more other wireless systems.
I'm back to 802.11g with the router, and the internal antennas on my laptop are better than the USB N sticks I was using... also I am on tomato again. Perhaps I spoke too soon earlier.
How did you boost the signal?

how do you restore back to the netgear defualt firmware?
There is a guide someplace on this website... you have to use a command prompt, erase the router that way, and then upload the firmware all through the command prompt.
