Posted: Sun Oct 03, 2010 16:42 Post subject: No wireless improvement
Doesn't seem to be any wireless improvement over the last several builds. Drops right to 2Mb/s and can't consistently keep a connection to my adapter. TX errors keep climbing slowly.
This command seems to work with new builds "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt".
ok - i get the USB drive to mount with this, but quite strangely, the httpd web-interface goes to shit (garbled display of the startup page, with no options) as a result of the mount command on startup.
i CAN get to the web-interface if i kill/restart httpd from putty.
tried to also put in an init.d script that restarts the httpd, but it seems to not work - runs, but doesn't help.
pointers?
I have the very same issue as yours.
The web gui could not accessiable after connect the usb harddisk and put mount command on the start up.
But it's seem every thing OK except could not access web gui.
14929 have no this issue, maybe flash back to it if there were no method to fix this.

my prob about this is currently fixed by a restart gui -script.
& flashing back/forth is a royal pain on my router (wndr3700) - flashing /w the webflash file invariably bricks the router so i have to debrick, restore to factory, use the factory-version of dd-wrt.
with previous builds, while running a speedtest the wireless was fairly consistent, but during tests on a wired pc the needle would jolt around between 1 and 4MBs, but not anymore.
performance is compltely stable, but the lan's stil crippled at 3/4MBs.

Could you PLS provide your resatart gui script, so I can see if it's works on my G300NH.
If's it's works then there were no need to flash back to 14929.
thanks

can we get this working? i guess it's a question to brainslayer...
danke schön.
Swap has not been enabled in the kernel of the atheros firmware for quite some time. not looking good for including it any time soon from what i can tell. _________________ WNDR3700 moved to openwrt

on mine it runs from init.d with a 55 s delay. the last 3 lines is the payload, the ones above it are for whatever reason needed to get anything to start from init.d.
did not try to get it to run it from the router's startup text box.
please note that it moves httpd to port 88 - port 80 is in use as a webserver.

why oh why?! i don't see how we could get get full juice out of our boxes without swapping!

unfortunately,it's not work for me.
I have to wait next build or falsh back to 14929.
and thank you anyway.

Swapping is something that you want to avoid even on more powerful computers, the need for it is an indication of too much jobs on too little ram.
It is best solved by adding more ram or reducing the number of jobs or the jobs ram allocation.
Swapping has overhead, the smallest being the swapping code that has to run all the time, and the biggest overhead is the time it takes to write out a portion of ram to disk and then read in another portion from disk to ram.
Swapping, if used, needs a fast channel to disk and the USB channels in our routers are not fast enough, it would cause degraded router performance.
Just forget about that idea! _________________ Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!

sure, agreed - but i'd rather have a slow router than one that crashes on memory outages. if it's only swapping when out of memory, it should not happen that often.
of course i like the idea of adding ram, but not sure if the router can be cracked open without breaking it.
but maybe i should be asking advice about how to configure lighttpd / php so that they can handle large files. currently a sure way of instigating a crash is to upload via php a file that's larger than ~60Mb. it seems that it's trying to have the whole file in the RAM at the same time before writing it to disk.
Wireless>Basic settings>Wireless Mode>"Client Bridge" is still missing in the newest build (r15334). Instead of "Client Bridge" an "undefined" line shows up. If I choose the "undefined" and finish the rest of the settings as a Client Bridge the router seems to be connected to the main router but I don't get Internet connection.
I had to switch back to r14896. _________________ TL-WR1043ND v1.7 Openwrt

Slightly related to the new version is the lack of other builds (VPN), specifically in the shipped 14998 build there's seems to be no way to prioritize traffic by Mac address (just restrict a specific Mac address bandwidth)
Is there something I'm missing or other builds available? Would essentially like to prioritize one Mac address traffic over others, as I was doing previously on the DD-WRT WRT54G router.
