Hi, Im running the following router with the latest firmware on it.
Router Model: Linksys WRT54GS v6
Firmware Version: DD-WRT v24-sp2 (08/07/10) micro - build 14896
I've got a couple of wifi clients to connect to this router, iphone, macbook and two laptops. Its set as AP with WPA2 for all these. As far as I know, rest of the settings are left to default. There is no access restriction or NAT profile that Ive added. The router itself is set as a DHCP server.
However, as soon as I connect the LAN cable for my PC, internet slows down to a crawl for all wifi devices while some devices start dropping wifi connectivity. Whats going on? I had the same behavior on build 14311 and was hoping 14896 would fix it. What am I doing wrong?
No not really, this happens as soon as I turn on my PC and it reaches login screen.
Is there a log for dd-wrt micro that I can see what the router is upto?
A test scenario I can try is pop in ubuntu CD and see if it causes the same issue. It might be something in windows but then again im running Avira which is upto date with all the updates of XP in place.
I can get to web gui and disabling avira doesnt effect anything. Browsing on lan connected pc is just fine, its just that all wireless devices either cant connect to wifi or become really really slow to browse internet. Mind you this happens even if im not running torrents on simple desktop startup. How can I diagnose this?
Any tips I can try? Still facing same issue. Wireless clients dont see anything if a PC is plugged in LAN. Does DDWRT micro has a log file that I can see?

Thanks ReadtheAnnoucement! it worked.
Did 30-30-30 reset and upgraded to Brainslayer 14929
So far things are stable with an occasional drop in ping... Ive gotten enough juice from this router and I know its being overworked. Its still sturdy than those tp links.
Anyways, Issue resolved, thanks all for your suggestions and help!
