D-Link DIR-615 H/W: D2

[DemonTraitor]

Ok, I have one of the above...

My sons all-powerful laptop is only connecting at 54mbps, Surely this router should be operating faster than this????

There is a TRANSMISSION rate settings in the config, which only has one option.. "Automatic (BEST)"

I have set it up for WEP... (due to limitations of another laptop), does WEP make a difference - should I go for OPEN, and MAC FILTERED?

Thanks

Looked at the dd-wrt router database, it says DIR-615 D1 not supported, but has nothing about D2...

Yep this is what i did to mine last night, i put "DD-WRT v24-sp2 (10/10/09) std
(SVN revision 13064)" on it and so far so good, a world apart from the standard dlink firmware.

Reason i put it on was i found the standard dlink firmware that was on it was causing the router to somehow get overloaded and it would stop communicating with all computers in the house, i really hope that the dd-wrt firmware sorts this out

As to the OP, i would think that the laptop is only capable of 54g, hence only connecting at that rate, i think out of the box the Dlink 615 auto negotiates, so if you had a Wireless N adapter connected it would connect at 150 or 300 depending on the adapter and conditions.

Hi

My sons Laptop is Wireless N (built-in) - he uses an Edimax router at uni, and gets an "N" connection fine - but not here on my DLINK.

I will flash the router sometime today with DD-WRT...
