Router: DLink Dir-300
Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r32170 (06/01/17)
Kernel: 3.2.88 #123933 Thu Jun 1 08:36:52 CEST 2017 mips DD-WRT
Status: Not OK
Reset: No
Errors: WebIF broken
Edit: seems to be a problem since a long time (on DIR-300 rev A) - I tried various 2017 and late 2016 builds with no avail.
Now back to r29837 from 06.06.2016 and WebIF is working fine.

both flashed ok, they gave wan address but there is no internet and iperf3 wont run device to device

He is wondering why his router is not doing "50/20" but is instead doing 13/13. Internet on this router is slower with dd-wrt running on it.
-also-
@tgvrfcedx
Let me give you an example of my own on how to post network configuration
Internet Gateway (50/30) > Mikrotik 1036 router
Mikroktik 1036
Port 1 is WAN
Port 2 is Main computer
Port 3 is secondary computer
port 4 is Test bed
port 5 is its own separate network for testing a POE switch ATM
Port 6 is NASAP (WRT32x)
WRT1900acv1
(this is where you insert info about your routers dd-wrt build here)
Port 1 is desktop
Port 2 is network printer (Canon TS9120)
port 3 is HLDS server
Port 4 is gaming desktop
2.4ghz and 5ghz wifi channels are both on auto.
2.4ghz Channel width is 20/40mhz
5ghz Channel width is 20/40/80mhz.
Port forward is setup for 27010 to 27030 for HLDS game server.
we mostly use cellphones and laptops and Internet is working without any issues what so ever.
Thats how you post your network configuration. Take it as an example and make your own version of it.
-curious-
What is your goal with these routers exactly? I already read that these are on a "test bed" but why?
AFAIK, dd-wrt is a small team of people working on these routers together. Usually the latest they can support because they are newer and, just my opinion here, I do not think many people would be using routers as old as the ones you are testing with right now. _________________ For people who are new to the dd-wrt forums >> http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#rtfm

while it might be a factor i dont think its the root issue
when i say 80-90% i am talking MAX! during an i perf run.
most of the other test see around 45-75 sirq, with low cpu load.
also the stock dlink can do more then double the speed 55 vs 20 wired, i doubt ddwrt is that much of a hog.
if there is any other tests i can run to confim let me know

there you have your high cpu load, that's why we wanted you to post detailed information all the time, because we might see more than you do
fact is that the router has an extremely slow processor (someone in the openwrt forum wrote the slowest router processor he has ever seen)
i also wrote you that 3rd party firmware is always slower than the stock firmware
the stock firmware used mostly proprietary components and is highly modified
in addition probably an older kernel and newer kernels always have the habit that they are bigger and slower

I think that's a problem with the ar2313 network driver. It just seems to have terrible speeds when receiving packets. If you look at "top" while doing a large transfer, you will get near 100% in software interrupts. I cannot get more than about 20 Mbit/s if it goes through software.

i have used these as they are cheap for long range link with directional antenna. outdoor and easy to swap out. working good with stock dlink, but have spares and wanted to try ddwrt as there are more options and better monitoring.
and now its just more about finding and confirming the speed issue and best stable ddwrt firmware to use. have already invested so much time testing ddwrt and would like to solve it

So then you are using these routers for something specific then.
what i am using the routers for has nothing to do with ddwrt.
i already explained i have spare routers i wanted to get ddwrt working on to play with and am now trying to troubleshoot this speed bug. AGAIN... nothing to do with the normal use right now.

do you have a large property with a guest house?
Are you afraid of changing to newer hardware? or you just cannot afford anything atm?

It is already a known given that DD-WRT does not have the same throughput as stock firmware because it is not using the same exact source code as stock firmware. I'm pretty sure this was alluded to at least once in one of your threads. Could the current drivers be askew in DD-WRT? Well, some are quite "customized", so anything is possible. Some hardware just balks at this. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

maybe, but no one is sure only assumptions.
i think half as slow as stock is not supporting that.
i am willing to test more if i can get advise on what to test, this will surly also be relevant for other models.
i am thinking to disable or enable functions. if its a load issue or mod drivers or whatever. forget wifi. lets stick to wired lan speed 55mbit is the bench mark of stock. 25 is the best with ddwrt.

Linux 2.4 vs Linux 3.2. You cannot compile the same drivers against both with the same results. And if there are any proprietary binary blobs involved, you cannot use them with a different kernel or compiler version. I would literally have to take the stock firmware tarball and compare it against the dd-wrt source tree. There are so many shared functions and bits of shared code across the entire spectrum here, there is literally no easy answer. Now, I don't think we have asked, but did you test with SFE enabled or disabled? Was there any QoS testing involved? _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

True, but I just back-tracked to see that SFE is included in this device's config in DD-WRT and it would be interesting to see what the impact of enabling vs. disabling it would be. There are probably plenty of issues with hardware drivers that have not been addressed - mostly IRT DD-WRT in general. I have noticed that some of the stock firmware code was different IRT DD-WRT, but not IRT upstream kernel commits. But again, we're talking about a device whose stock firmware includes a Linux 2.4 kernel vs a custom firmware that includes a patched Linux 3.2 kernel. I can almost guarantee you that the hardware drivers have code differences, most likely. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"
