If getting a better router isn't an option then I recall there were some performance improvements on Broadcom based routers in DD-WRT circa early 2015 so you may want to update to a more recent version of DD-WRT, that's likely only going to be small gain at best.Īhhh right, I kind of understand now. Overclocking the router's CPU is also an option but at a quick glance reviews indicate your router runs extremely hot at stock so it's probably not a good option in your case. The hardware in your router is pretty weak, so a better router could definitely offer much more. Otherwise, if you really need DD-WRT then a more powerful router will get you closer to 200, although I doubt you'll get all the way there with any consumer level router. If you don't need the extra functionality then you should be able to get better peak bandwidth by flashing back to the stock firmware. Unfortunate trade off of all the options DD-WRT provides. Doing it in software is much more demanding on the CPU so given the hardware your router has 60mb/s seems pretty reasonable. Any ideas?ĭD-WRT doesn't (and can't) support hardware NAT. I'm wondering if there is some kind of setting or something else relatively simple to explain the loss of 140mb of speed. This wouldn't be an issue for most people but in this circumstance the dd-wrt router is necessity as my mobile doesn't do well at the back of the house with the virgin superhub and equally the superhub doesn't have sufficient settings for me to use unlocator.

So i set the Virgin Superhub back into router mode (as opposed to modem mode) so it's providing wifi to the house again and when I did this and did the same speedtest/downloads I got over the advertised 200mb on average (usually between 202-206).

However, as we recently got Virgin 'VIVID' 200mb connection as a free upgrade I'm quite disappointed by this. For some reason speedtest and general downloading is consistently only around 60mb for download when connected this way. In the last few months i've been using my Virgin Media Superhub 2ac in modem mode to provide my dd-wrt router with a connection and then our devices are provided wifi by the dd-wrt. So as the title suggests i've got some problems with my network setup that have only recently come to my notice.
