Hi,
I have noticed a speed difference between Eko and Brainslayer build's.
Yep, same here, i get a little better speeds/signal with eko's builds, but he has seemed to "stall" on releasing any newer ones (maybe no worth while changes for broadcom so not worth compiling any newer bin's... who knows), and for the most part, i like to stay current, for testing, but 1 of my WRT320N's i have kept on 15508 because it seems to be a solid build for me. _________________ Linking Routers | DD-WRT Wiki | DD-WRT Builds
The RT-N16 can handle ~100mbps routing, it shouldn't be having any problems with a mere 30mbps connection. Make sure you hard reset and use the same minimal settings between tests. _________________ Read the forum announcements thoroughly! Be cautious if you're inexperienced.

I get approximately the same speeds using either Eko's or Brainslayer's builds.
I prefer Eko's when using a router with 4MB Flash - the std-nokaid-nohotspot-nostor.
With 8MB or more flash, I use Either Eko's or Brainslayer's Mega or Big - whichever is newer. _________________ Soylent Green Is People ! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

but I see all kinda people saying they use it on their N16...
so which are you supposed to use? LoL
dd-wrt.v24-18946_NEWD-2_K2.6_big.bin
Any of these that ONLY say NEWD-2_K2.6
Do not flash the nv60k / nv64k versions on the RT-N16 _________________ Soylent Green Is People ! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

thanks for the heads up!
so if im looking for a mini build, i can literally use any .bin file on the list as long as it says NEWD-2_K2.6, it doesn't need to specifically say RT-N16 on the file name?

Awesome thanks for the help!
One more question...is it normal for mini builds to not support https login to the GUI? Any other major benefits the mega/big builds provide to a power user, outside of the additional wifi-hotspot type plugins IYO?

I always flash the Mega or Big builds.
If you're not enabling the options, it won't affect the cpu much at all.
I'd rather not need it and have it, then need it and not have it. _________________ Soylent Green Is People ! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
