Linksys router and DD-WRT.

[FragaGeddon]

Is it possible to remove DD-WRT from the router and go back to linksys firmware?

[AmIdYfReAk]

Yes.

Though, i dont see why you would.

[FragaGeddon]

It just seems like sometimes I'll get disconnected, even though it's a wired connection. My 360 doesn't connect right away. The net connection seems sluggish at times.
I'm using my old 8 port router and it works great. Even the 360 connects to live with no problem.

Well I hve DD-WRT on a Linksys WRT54GL, all I had to do to get Xbox Live working happily was to do port triggering on two ports. If it isn't working for you then don't count out some other issues; bad cables, overheated router, memory of the router being filled up with IP addresses by using torrents, etc. If it worked well with the Linksys firmware and does not with the DD-WRT, then go back I guess.

which version are you using, spanky

[Massive Quasars]

As I recall, it's possible on some routers. On others it's not, at least not at this time.

The router is a WRT54G ver. 6 and using DD-WRT v23 SP2 (09/15/06) micro.

I may take a look at that. Don't care for keeping my password, since it's already been reset.
I do like the bandwidth monitor.

I do believe it use to work with DD-WRT firmware until I updated to the latest firmware.
I believe this firmware won't allow you to go back to a previous one.

It seems like it only has .3 to .6 MB free of memory.

[AmIdYfReAk]

yea, you dont use the free mem, you overwrite the mem thats in it..

there is the guide.

Well I got the ol;d linksys firmware back on. In the meantime I was using the old 8 port router. Now I remember why I bought a new one. Playing on xbox live last night I must have gotten disconnected 5-10 times.

I put the old linksys firware back and and hooked up the 360 and it still dosen't connect right away. So I might have to compare settings in both of them to see if I spot a problem.
