Then I went to FiOS 25/25 and they eventually ' upgraded' me to my current 50/50. I've had the Linksys and Buffalo since my days with Comcast 10/3. I bought them over the years, when they were ' On Sale', and put them ' on the shelf', just ' in case' I needed them for something. NOTE: I didn't specifically buy the Buffalo, or the TRENDnet, or the Raspberry Pi 3B RECENTLY for these tasks. Thus where many folks have ONE router performing MULTIPLE tasks, I've separated the tasks out to individual devices, each of which can now perform at their optimum. I also only use ONE LAN port on the WAN Router and it connects to a TP-Link SG108E 8-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Managed Switch (which then feeds other Managed Switches throughout the house). I have newer, and faster, routers available to me but I use them as Wireless Access Points on the first floor of my ranch, while the WAN Router resides in the basement along with the FiOS Router in 'Bridge Mode' (connects the coax from the ONT to the ethernet CATx LAN and feeds one STB with Guide Info). My FiOS service is 50/50 so I recently moved my DHCP Server onto my Raspberry Pi 3B w/Pi-Hole (I use Static IPs, assigned by the DHCP Server, for the majority of my devices) and switched my router to a TRENDnet TEW-810DR and now get ~60Mbps (which is typical FiOS over-provisioning as I understand it).

I also have a Buffalo WHR-G54S running DD-WRT same CPU as the Linksys (Broadcom BCM5352) I maybe hit ~40Mbps occasionally, IIRC. I have a WRT54G v4 running DD-WRT and ~25-30Mbps was the best I could get. This router is only running at 25-30 mbps download, so I'm hoping there is a setting that can increase this.as I'm gettting 200 mbps when I got direct to the modem, bypassing the router.Īny ideas?It's not just the 10/100 LAN port holding you back - it's the ENTIRE hardware of the Linksys WRT54 CPU, etc. I need to use my older Linksys WRT54GS router temporatily.
