2MBps? FAIL. I have around 19MBps at work, that’s T1 right there.

T1 is more like 300KB/s. T1 is actually oldschool by now. There are much better connections businesses commonly use today…

Also, 2MB/s (to be precise, along the lines of 2.4MB/s), is more along the lines of 20Mbps. It’s pretty ****ing fast IMO.

Tomato is the ****ing **** – FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR beyond anything DD-WRT can ever hope to be. If your device can handle Tomato (requires a 4MB Flash chip, not a 2 like the newer stripped Linksys routers that run on DD-WRT Micro), you will absolutely fall in love with it. Flawless QoS, excellent interface, fully AJAX’ized (live updates _everywhere_), stable, fast, and extraordinarily flexible, even more so than DD-WRT… and you don’t have to be a Linux geek to get down and dirty with it. Everything’s in the WebUI. God, I can’t say enough good about it.

Wires? Yeah, I’m a little concerned about that connection junction setup, but then again, I never touch those wires anyway. That whole setup is in my living room in front of the window, which gives it the best wireless signal. There’s a long CAT5 cable that’s branched off into DSL and Ethernet signals, that goes into my room to give it wired access to the network. At least 80% of the computers on my network use wireless, so I’m pretty keen on making it run very well, which is why I have the WRT54GL running as “G-only” with a secondary “B” access point running its own SSID on the opposite channel. The G-only network ends up getting full performance, extraordinary range, and no dropouts ever. Same with the “B”. Turns out that the problems only seem to occur with manufacturer default settings – mixed B and G mode! >.<

Seriously though… anyone else care to contribute some pictures?
