Does Tomato do the same thing as DD-WRT in terms of speed and overclocking?

For movies such as YouTube, you can speed up your Flash movies simply by using QoS feature, Quality of Service. You can select “Flash” under QoS, this will priotize your router to route Flash files faster than any other services such as http, ftp, etc…etc…

I have used QoS with a little bit of results so don’t expect too much gain.

Yeah, MAC address filter actually speeds down your speed, I think WEP is good enough for most security, I actually tried to stick with 64-bit, it’s pretty rare that someone will hack WEP, although it is possible.

More Security = More inhibition and slower speeds

Less Security = More vulnerability but faster speeds.

Hey –
I enjoyed your advice.
So I like to stream video from hulu.com
But the video always glitches if I don’t pause it when I am on my wireless cnx.
Which ports do I need to have exempt for this to work well?
I did httpvideo but are there more?

Also the MAC address, should I set the priority to EXEMPT as well?

so if you don’t see the menu, you can’t overclock it… :p

well, i have a micro version of dd-wrt (v5) and you can try sth like that:
log to router via telnet and type

nvram set overclocking=216
nvram commit
reboot

Thank you. I am getting the POP servers come and change the router. It is their property and they object to my doing anything to it, but have agreed to do something on the lines of your suggetions.

I have cable modem and linksys router hooked up to it. Do you have a cable modem/router that’s integrated?

You might wanna check out the list of DD-WRT supported devices, it might be supported.

Thank you for that very informative post. Can you suggest something similar for broadband cable connection router?
