If it displays your speed in Mbps, you must multiply the number by to determine the kilobits per second. TIP: Run the speedtest three 3 times and use the average upload speed and download speed. For example:. This must be done for both inbound and outbound rates this screenshot only shows inbound rates.
On the left, set the least amount of bandwidth to be used. On the right, set the maximum. In the image above, TCP traffic for port 80, , and are for web based applications. Therefore, I have matched the traffic type to the appropriate classification. Similarly, as we mentioned in an earlier chapter, Mail uses port There are just too many variables, including: Internet capacity, router quality, firmware version, and other hardware unknowns.
In addition to QoS, you can also use the bandwidth Limiter feature within Tomato to limit bandwidth of a specific device. This differs from QoS, in that, the limitations are applied to the physical MAC address of a computer rather than the type of data. What is QoS Quality of Service?
I use uTorrent on a laptop with Windows 7. In uTorrent I have it set up to use a max upload 50 kBs. My max upload bandwidth from my provider is 1mbs. In my QoS settings i've even set this under at kBs because I know i'm not actually going to be getting the full 1mbs from my provider anyways.
I've done a similar setup for my download bandwidth. My torrent port falls within the port range of the default "Bulk traffic" classification of Tomato's QoS. So it should be receiving the least priority. Within seconds of starting my torrents up using Tomato USB i'm unable to browse to any page in my browser.
Everything times out. The router is not locked up though because the torrents are still going strong. I've flashed back and forth between K26USB Everytime I do this, everything works perfect in the original Tomato firmware and fails in the USB mod version. Another issue I've noticed that leads me to believe that it may not be bandwidth related though is that when this issue occurs, it can't even bring up This should still be able to come up regardless of bandwidth consumption right?
Could this mean that somehow the router itself is getting overloaded? I've limited the connections in uTorrent itself to only And once again. What throws me off the most is that it works perfectly fine in Tomato 1. You did not specify if you use wired or wireless connection between the router and the laptop running torrents. If it's wireless, do the same tests with wired connection. Kernel 2. Most probably the wireless transfer is what hogs the CPU and memory, and causes router to be non-responsive.
That's why it's generally recommended to use K24 builds on wlgu, as well as other routers with similar low CPU power and memory size - unless using K26 builds solve some specific issues for you. If however you have the same problems with wired connection as well, you need to troubleshoot further. Check your system log for any error messages, verify on QoS Graphs and QoS Details that the connections are getting classified properly according to your settings, verify the output of " iptables -t mangle -L -n " command to make sure all QoS rules have been created.
DSCP, ip precedence… which application does Tomato uses to do that? Whatmore, the router should upgrade the system's performance and not the other way around.
I have connected it and tested in different homes, different cable modems, therefore different cable-network hubs, so the IP that the router pulls ain't that crappy. Thanks everyone for your time and thoughts nevertheless! Hello, I do have the same problem as kriket.
Symptoms are exactly the same as kriket described. The Speedtouch downloads at full speed straight line on the throughput graph , the WRT goes up and down, like waves on a stormy sea.
Let's add that HTTP downloads work fine at max speed on both. What could be the next step, apart from dumping the WRT hardware? Can't believe that SpeedTouch can actually be superior to a Cisco product! And WRT54GL is promoted as not your average SOHO router, but as a powerful feature rich affordable device, with features of much more expensive routers with alternative firmware.
Shame it just doesn't deliver. I also have to consider dumping the Linksys, cos I don't need a device that cripples my network performance, which is not very fast by itself. A router that slows it down furtherly is just what I do not need.
I have reduced torrents downloading because it's getting too lame to wait for the router to wake up. How does your router work with Linksys firmware? I don't know, I flashed Tomato as soon as I got it. What would be the difference, if it's fully functional it should work fine with Tomato, shouldn't it? The reason I asked was that Tomato has a lot of options that you can screw up which the original linksys firmware does not have.
The performance hit is that bad. I won't go into details unless you're interested in actually trying something. By the way, don't expect ANY router to improve performance, all other things being equal.
The best you can hope for is no measurable degradation. And the WRT54G series is not a powerful processor by any means. The hype you refer is about features, not speed performance. SipSizzurp, I think that the default settings in Tomato should be fine. I haven't touched the defaults apart from lowering the TCP timeout from to , and that was yesterday. Haven't noticed if there's any improvement yet. I know, of course, that the router cannot increase your connection speed, but it should to be able to handle it in a way that you have a sense of improved performance, that is to distribute it in the best possible way.
What else would the hyped features be about? Of course, I'm willing to try anything. To at least eliminate a possible Tomato issue. Another idea, something Bill already mentioned - tweaking your MTU size. Check out this page anyway, it may be of help: » www. EDIT: Deleted post. You're not on DSL. Thought I found something but you're on a cable modem. Kriket, sorry but MTU is probably not an issue on a cable modem. I got the wrong impression you were on DSL. I've got 2 WRT54G's v1. Not sure exactly what your problem might be but am fairly certain it's not the Tomato firmware.
Edit: One thing you might want to do is look in the Windows Event log and see if you see a "" tcpip error. If you see the entry there appearing a few times then your torrent problem might be with the number of "half-open" connections allowed by the OS. So it's like the first thing I've taken care of when I installed Vista.
It's not that. Guess I'll have to switch to the factory firmware and see what happens. I don't know why but I don't like dd-wrt, because it's more complicated to flash, and I've read that it's not as good as Tomato in some aspects ie. I've also noticed that my setup drops peer connections pretty easy when I, say, browse a web site, the torrent's speed goes down unproportionally. Normally it would slow down just enough to let the website load, but here it slows down almost all the way.
Weird, knowing that QoS is disabled and peer connections have the same priority as all the others.
