The hell you can't overclock a router!!

Dude, I wasn't joking...I'm scared to go higher, what if it starts smoking??

Some instructions I found

I see that it increases the mW or something. Is that range???

~Ibrahim~

I looked around at DD-WRT forums and some people have really gotten into this.



WTF?! I know.

Anyways: Firstly, it enlarges your e-penis a few sizes. Next, it will make your router homepage load about 1ms faster. Also, the Linksys routers are actually underclocked, so I guess for fun??

The reason why: e-penis seems like the only useful reason..

~Ibrahim~

lol, that isn't mine. That is some guy who really got into it. I don't think I'll be doing that..Maybe just a 80/120mm fan, that is all, lol.

The value of a gaming router is that high priority requests from the game get sent through the router without delay. If there are no other competing tasks, then this is not much of an advantage. If there are other users on the router downloading things, at the same time, then it can be a HUGE advantage to the gamer. The D-link dgl-4100 and the wireless version(dgl-4300) will connect to the pc via a gigabit link, instead of the usual 10/100 speed. This is also a marginal advantage because cable or dsl is much slower. Non the less, the dgl-4100/4300 is a very easy quality router.

I guess it would be nice to crank it up on the router, but did you even receive any bandwidth increase?

I still support netgear, but whatever floats your boat

can anyone give me some tweaks for this router(dgl 4300), im looking to maximize this for gaming, im just not sure what everything means, and i dont feel like spending all day trying different things, also is there a specific setting to increase upload speed?

================================================
If you want a gaming router than this is the one, the D-Link DGL 4300. It comes with 10/100/1000Mbps and 802.11 b/g wireless. I've been using broadband for over 8 years with many other brands and by far this is the best router period. It's been working flawlessly since day one for almost two years with out any problem. Having my entire home network (5 PCs) on gigabit is awsome. Transferring large data between systems is very fast. The wireless feature is also very good on both b/g. Surfing the net while getting a sun tan on my back yard is also cool.
I highly recommend for any hard core gamers. I do want to point out that one needs to be familiar with networking protocols, otherwise configuration can be a headache.

nope, normal routers cant handle heavy p2ptraffic (more than 100 connections transfering at same time )

most do reset, hangup, or similars, even my trusty 3com does hang up when I do more than 100 connections, so Im preety limited in that..

and as for overclocking, the hell you can
but only a few
most of them are LINUX based, and thats the famous linksys linux router ( DDRTW-55 v1 v2 , v4 and v5 reportedlty to suck and wont work with linux.(vxworks)

and some have modded the DGL-4300 with fans too , cause it gets HOT.

@taco

No, Nothing, for the short time it would stay connected...

@tam

P2P, I'm a bit ignorant. Is that used in games, like BF2?

I'm using DD-WRT on my V3 and it works beautifully.

~Ibrahim~

That is what I thought...I hardly ever use those, unless I'm trying to find some hard-to-find software..

~Ibrahim~

Kind of confused. Are you trying to get your Wii to connect to your PC or the internet?

Either way, you'll need a wireless router. It will then 'split' the internet connection between your PC and your Wii. Any good cheap one will do, but try to get one with QoS so your PC/Wii isn't always hogging all the bandwidth.

~Ibrahim~

Those are really nifty, I've never seen those before. Yeah, they would work great, so long the Wii and computer aren't too far apart. I don't have any first-hand experience with those, but they look like they should work good.

~Ibrahim~

P.S I'd go for the G one, if it isn't too much more.

The best router I have come across is what I am currently using. Find an older computer (pentium III or newer with 128mb of ram) and install Smoothwall. Smoothwall is a software that is based off of linux. It is very easy to install and in turn is very powerful as well. The software is free and you might be able to find a used computer for cheap. Just remember you will need three network cards to get this working. Message me if you need help setting this up.
