did you read the forum guidelines ?? there is mentioned that, "you must share details about your set up" so, ppl will be more capable to understand where the problem is...and help you out...
90% of bad WiFi is due to bad setting used...fact...
99% of ppl having issues...are due to not reading forum guidelines and other valuable information...and caring bad set up...
i suspect where is the problem... _________________ Atheros

thats the setup. no changes. i have 2 of these but one is playing up. from testing i found full rebooting it got rid of the high load issue so not sure why as these are all stock configs. may a first boot fail glitch.
beside that it works ok now, but there is a wifi issue
when running a wifi speed test it will start up high and then drop off to almost 0/ upload works fine
at 54mbps wifi should be about 10-13mbps up.down
i have tried to enable and disable so many things. but nothing seems to work.
as i said the other dir 300 a1 . works perfect no changes.
i did notice the he new firmware list it as ar2317
and the old 2008 firmware says its Atheros AR2315

This could be the old ghost load issue in regression or choice of browser or a config-related "issue". The wifi settings sticky and wiki is a good start for information on how to address your wifi issues. One of the key things is to not use autochannel. If you wish to step through this and can post appropriately-sized screenshots, maybe we can figure this out. I will also suggest disabling uPnP and ttraf in the webUI and rebooting.
As far as hardware identification in the webUI or otherwise, don't look too deep into that as it may just be cosmetic. I would have to consult the developer. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

ok my mistake...
after flashing the dir300-A1 back to stock dlink 1.05
the speeds are massively higher. both wired and wireless.
50/20mbps down/up vs. around 13/13 ddwrt
so both dir300 were not running proper speed on ddwrt. for LAN OR WIFI.
have i missed something? or are these just not working well on for ddwrt? i have tried so many firmwares and betas.
i have spent way to much time on these old things any advise?

Consider stock firmware likely has an older, un-patched Linux 2.6 or 3.x kernel as well as different drivers and such for the hardware which are more friendly to the anemic ancient devices than DD-WRT is. This is kind of a given and known issue of sorts, but if you are not using optimal settings for the wifi and clients involved in your speedtests, then I can only make semi-educated guesses. It's a shame that others are not offering input. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"
