Do you have any 'b' devices that you might be using? If so, it might make the whole network run at 11mbos instead of the 54 for 'g' networks.

Insufficient information. How are you measuring it? Over the internet (e.g, SpeedTest)? Locally between machines? Are they both wireless, or only one? Are you using something like NetCPS or...

It worked. I have DDWRT control panel for my router.
how do I either increase the speed or consistency to make sure whatever is using the wireless is not experiencing lag time, drops or buffering?

That seems to be the problem. I didnt execute the command at the same directory that contains the file. How do I "go into" the file where the firmware is? Isn't it C: then something else?

When using the GUI, it's more stringent in what it will accept (it may check versions, it may require the file use the extension .trx, etc.). That's why TFTP should be easier, it will just send...

Just use the standard generic file. Other versions offer different features depending on need. But standard generic is fine in most cases. If later you change your mind, just update the firmware...

tomatoUSB also has USB support (obviously) which polarcloud does not. Use that and take advantage of the usb for printershare/usb drives.
