The firmware was succesfully instaled. Wireless range and stability are OK. But the following problem arised:
I'm using two of those devices - one in router mode and the second in client mode. The second one connects to PC's network card (Atheros L1) at 10 Mbit speed only. Can you show me a direction where to look for solution?

hi
i have got the dd-wrt firmware working using the tftp method.. however I am getting very bad performance issues in my mac laptops in comparison to to edimax firmware.
So i might wait for the dd-wrt firmware to mature a bit before i leave it on.
I wish to revert back to my edimax firmware but the router is not doing the upgrade.. I have left it on for hours and after a power cycle which i do manually the dd-wrt firmware is still there?
Can anyone please help me get the router back to the orginal firmware.. I am using the image downloaded from the edimax website version 1.66
should of mentioned.. i am trying to revert back to the edimax firmware using the tftp method.. the same wasy i uploaded the dd-wrt image.
Well, it worked for me correctly. Today tried a number of times.
But, I had problems with WAN connection - I have cable modem and even unplugging from wall outlet did not work for me. Tried all howtos from FAQ.
Any ideas?
(should be DHCP client, but I did not obtain any address at all)
When i push the uimage.tftp via tftp.exe the Transfer is working well but nothing happens... after the transfer the WiFi LED starts blinking slowly and the Router remains in this state forever without rebooting.
After plugging power off and back on the Edimax FW is still here. I tried with several original FW's(1.33,1.62,1.6 which i pushed over tftp, they flashed without problems. I also tryed to flash the uimage.tftp with several original FW's as basesystem, but without succes.
Any Ideas?
Make an factory reset by pressing the reset button for a minute before flashing kmmng's .bin file. This should work.
I did do a factory reset by holding the reset button until the power led blinks very fast. I also, before starting the whole procedure, did an extra factory reset in the web-interface.
Just to check if i'm not missing anything:
* i pressed the reset button until the fast blink, then released the reset button
* Unplugged the power, pressed the reset button
* while keeping the reset button pressed in, i re-inserted the power plug
Then i futher followed the tftp procedure which works OK. The router reboots itself just fine. After a reboot (after waiting for a decent while, 5-10 minutes) i still have the original firmware.
What am i doing wrong? I use the file attached to this post.
Try the attached image, I have changed something in the headers.
I have used the commandline tftp with success. Also, it is important to use the "-i" switch.

This is the same build. There is no newer build for now.
By the way, you wrote that the router don't support Israel ISP's L2TP. What is the difference between PPTP and L2TP that you don't use pptp ?

Again, no luck. It keeps on getting back to the Edimax firmware. The tftp is succesfull, tried both your original file and the new one (twice):
