The problem I'm experiencing is that my download speed cannot exceed above 300k/sec, while my connection is capable of 800k/sec. Changing the auto-negotiation in the IP-settings to 10mbit half/full duplex only made things a lot worse in terms of speeds (100mbit half/full duplex mode is not supported by my dsl modem).
After getting fed up with this, I've decided to flash back to original ASUS firmwares, going back to firmware 1.6.5.3. Unfortunately, the speed problem persisted.
My guess is that somewhere in that little device some various settings are still stored, which are not deleted while flashing the device or resetting to the factory defaults. The reason I come to this conclusion is that the wireless encryption settings specify a WPA option, while 1.6.5.3 really does not have WPA in it.
Does anyone know how to clear the entire device so that I can flash a firmware which allows me to get my full speed? Or is it possible to change those speed settings via telnet using the 1.9.2.7 CR6b firmware?
Thanks!
