The WAG54G is a DSL router made by Linksys. After a while it usually start dropping connexions. Hopefully there is an hardware solution: replace one of the capacitors of the WAG54G.

But if you don't have appropriate gear or don't want to do this kind of surgery, you can still try to reduce the router ethernet speed, slowing it down from 100Mb/s to 10Mb/s.

Most wifi routers are used as access point in infrastructure mode. However it is possible to configure then as wifi client so they can connect themselves to other access points. Here is how to do it on OpenWrt.

QoS (Quality of Service) prioritize your network trafic. Here is a way to do it on your OpenWrt.

The proposed script divide your outgoing network trafic into 5 priority classes as follow:

• 1 - ping, DNS, ack : very fast
• 2 - gaming, SSH : high priority, reliable
• 3 - local services : good bitrate, average response time
• 4 - users: web and email(default class)
• 5 - peer 2 peer
