On a side note: i was using build 12548 (which was a recommended build but they have moved up to newer versions since then but it's still a solid build to try if the newer ones should act up) and it was rock solid stable as i had over 400 days uptime before my power went out. i prefer the 'nvram erase' / 'reboot' commands through telnet to do a hard-reset as it's easier than holding the reset button for a year with the 30-30-30 method and gets same results. which means you can run all builds (mini/std etc) besides the mega ones basically. If you got a 'Linksys WRT54GL 1.0/1.1' router that means you got 4MB FLASH and 16MB RAM. (if DD-WRT is already on your router then just do a hard-reset and manually configure the router to your liking and your all set)Īnd depending on how much ram is on your router you should adjust ports to 4096 (if you got 16MB of ram or more) with TCP timeouts to 300 (default of 3600 is way to high as your router will keep connections open way longer than it needs to) and UDP to 120 as that will give you a good starting point. you MUST do a 'hard-reset/flash/hard-reset/manually configure router to your liking'.

) which will be basically the same as they are both sticky threads over there.ĭON'T use what the router database recommends as those builds are outdated vs the recommended builds which have been tested more thoroughly which i talk about aboveĪlso if you want to make sure DD-WRT is stable. DD-WRT is great just get the recommended build for your router which will be listed in the Peacock thread (i.e.
