Just replaced sky router = mind blown

[Isitme]

I had 300 Mbps before I switched to this router. Can someone share their settings?

What router were you using? You would not get 300mbps with a Sky router, if that is what was being reported, then it was wrong.

I had a belkin ap connect to my sky router. Got 300mbps... getting about 150mbps now with 20/40 on.

Help any advice?

Just trying to do mine but seem to have a problem. When i run the final 2 commands in the window i get the response

/tmp/udhcpc - not found.

Am i missing something here? I used the two commands and entered my username and password into the string but it just says not found.

Is anyone using the newer firmware or the old one linked in the guide?

Cheers guys

Getting SFU on Wednesday so was looking around here for any tips etc after getting the router delivered today. Ended up buying a new router before we even have fibre thanks to this!

Are you sure you entered the two lines exactly? (replace username and password though obviously)

killall udhcpc
/usr/sbin/udhcpc -i vlan2 -c "username@skydsl|password" -p /var/run/udhcpc.pid -s /tmp/udhcpc

killall udhcpc
/usr/sbin/udhcpc -i eth1 -c "username@skydsl|password" -p /var/run/udhcpc.pid -s /tmp/udhcpc

the code above you need to substitute eth1 for vlan2 and i have a space between killall and /usr/.....: see below

also, you need to leave the quotations in when entering your username and password

killall udhcpc

/usr/sbin/udhcpc -i vlan2 -c "11ab22dc33ef@skydsl|1A2b3C4de5dbHfs" -p /var/run/udhcpc.pid -s /tmp/udhcpc

I don't know if it is actually your username and password, but just in case I thought I should point it out.

Also you are right, I copied it from the wrong thread. I fixed my previous reply so as not to confuse anyone.

Well after a couple of hours, I have had to swap back to the sky router, WHO would have thought it, I was getting problems with upnp and NAT on my xbox360, My sons xbox360 was fine, my other boys ps3 (x2) fine, my ps3 fine, But i could not get my xbox360 to play ball, everything I tried did not work, now im back on the fast router, both 360`s on at the same time both wired to the router both open nat...

We will add this as well to the articles section, once posted.

ok, for some reason, allocating "fixed" IP addresses via the tp-link dd-wrt doesn't seem to work
properly. i tested this by putting my laptop's MAC into the list along with an IP of 192.168.1.2
(i've changed the default starting IP of 192.168.1.100), clicked save / apply etc then used the
command prompt to run ipconfig / release and ipconfig /renew... each and every time, the laptop
came back with 192.168.1.15... weird.

so, looking at my devices, i decided to give my 2 NAS drives fixed IP's from within their own
configuration pages rather than let the router mess it up.

so far so good
