Are there any versions in the making for the 2.6 firmware?

Don’t know what advice to give about improving it, but my throughput is also around 500-570 with no stuttering on my DI-614+ router hard-wired to the PC.

Another throughput improvement story:
I have a 3COM DSL router with wifi that was giving me 150-180, stutterning all the time . Changed the wireless mode from mixed (11b+11g) to 11b only and now the throughput is 500-570, no stuttering at all.

Just to let you know my issue……
I have improved my throughput (press START when playing a PMP) from 130-200(rubbish) up to 350-400….I had a hard wired LAN from base unit Pc to D-link g604t router, I put a usb 2.0 wifi dongle into my base unit & removed the hard wired LAN so everything is wifi (no hard LAN cabling at all) There was a network bridge that I disbled as I think this was preventing my wifi from connecting when no cable was present…..that is what has given me my best speed increase so far. Streaming is immensely better….
Hope this helps someone….

In fact i have just realize that the power saving option was the issue for many problems I had!!
For example, VNC wasn’t working, now it does!, same for tedzero browner. PSP radio is working better too !
I’ve been using homebrew for 6 month, reading a lot of forum but I ‘ve never seen this “tips” until yesterday!

lecdg2: Thankx man, your tip was very helpful, now all playback improved substantionaly, rarely stutters. gonna up the bitrate and see my optimal settings.

sash: yeah you're right. the wep wasnt the main issue. i tried checking the througput, pressed start, but couldnt see any numbers at the bottom right. i might have an older version of or somthing.

alright thanks all. great prog optixx. keep up the good work.

Yeah, I forgot to change that when I downgraded. I’ve been converting my videos to around 450kbps give or take and it’s been playing smoothly. Now I’ll bump up the quality after ticking that power save option

hello
For all of those that get stutter even with very low bitrate (>350) like I have!
Turn off the power saving option for Wlan on your PSP option!!!!!!!
I did, and now it’s nearly perfect!!!!

corso: i also thought the wep encryption is responsible for the problems, but optixx said he always works with enabled wep. somebody tried it without and there was no difference so it´s definately not the encryption which causes trouble. please post your values for the network throughput, you can see it in the right bottom of the screen when you hit “start” while playing a movie. it´s perhaps interesting what you get when you stream the video from your laptop compared to your other machine.

Hi everyone. I have a question to those who said that there was no stutter if the video is encoded at a low bitrate. Ok i tried at 384 video and 64 audio. that’s pretty low but i still get stutter. My question is: Do your access points have enabled security? I know my access point is not slow, but i have 128bit WEP encryption enabled. so i was wondering if that’s what is causing the stutter. On the other hand, i can stream videos with my laptop without stutter, so i’m kinda lost
