And this may be the case with OEM firmware, which is why it is nice to have the option of 3rd party firmware. Although I don't do P2P, I have no problems running my 15-20Mbps connection on an old WRT54Gv2 running Tomato. The issue with P2P on OEM firmwares and in particular newer versions of the WRT54G is that it becomes "congested". 3rd party firmwares allow for additional settings to correct this problem. |

I've done both and both worked flawlessly. What firmware did you use? DD-WRT and eventually Tomato. With DD-WRT, browsing while running BT at all with QoS enabled was pointless. Tomato seems to have a more efficient QoS engine, but I can still see a significant slowdown.
I went through two of them before eventually replacing it with a cheapie Buffalo that runs Tomato .. same setup, no issues. It looks like the WRT54G v4.0+ finally got the same Broadcom 5352 CPU as my Buffalo, but everything after the 4.0 only has half the RAM, so perhaps that has helped. |

said by Anonymous_:an netgear WGT634u can do 75mbps 5365chipset with IPsec Co processor You realise an "IPsec Co processor" has absolutely nothing to do with overall network I/O, right? All it has is some VERY cheap/simple form of offloading IPsec packets.
Meaning: a chipset with an "IPsec Co processor" isn't guaranteed to get you more overall network throughput or bandwidth. :P |
