This theory may not extend to your hardware but was my assumption. I have run the same versions of DD-WRT and Tomato on all of these and have come to assume the hardware is typically not the issue as they seem to behave the same.

My main router is a Linksys WRT54G v2 and two different generations of Motorola WR850G units to extend my network. One more q for you, when you say: "I was also having problems with tomato and occasional drops which seemed to go away after I switched all routers to WPA personal w/ TKIP then w/ AES." are you now using TKIP + AES or did you have TKIP before and AES proved more reliable so you stuck with that? Please let me know if you do go back to dd-wrt and how that works out for you.Ĭlick to expand.No, sorry to be unclear, I am not running the same router models, I was assuming it wasn't hardware but configuration but didn't state it. Strangely enough, after repeated problems with the G125 dropping wireless clients and giving out junk IPs that even got forwarded over WDS, for a few days now it's been behaving very nicely. WHR-G125 and WHR-G54S? Curious as to which one you run as host, repeater? Were you having problems with the G125 dropping wireless connection attempts or the G54? or both? What version of Tomato were/are you using?Īt this point if I had my druthers I'd be inclined to go back to DD-WRT on the G125 (my host) and have Tomato handle the WDS repeater connects on the G54S. Are you in fact running the same models of Buffalo routers as I am, i.e.
