I'm able to hit 168mbps so far is the highest transfer rate showing.
Is it transfer rate or reported connection speed?
If this is transfer speed then how did you measure it? Since WNDR3300 has 100MBit wired ports it should not be possible (at least for single direction transfer wireless<->wired).
Thanks,

I checked the speed on the network status.
You can right click the connection and choose Status to show connection info.
I notice the speed goes up/down.
This is the Wireless transfer rate, not wired-port rates. _________________ Soylent Green Is People ! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

I am running build (SVN revision 12250M NEWD Eko) on my 3300 in AP mode. DNS is set to forward and WAN is assigned to the switch.
WL0 is set to NA on channel 40 and seems to work w/o problems.
WL1 is set to G only on Channel 1 but I encounter numerous network dropouts on my 2.4GHz equipment.
I have used a wireless sniffer to analyze the 2.4 Gig networks around me and I can see about 40. I picked the least used channel of 1 but I wonder how much the interference may be contributing to this problem.
Any idea why it seems the WL1 wireless just stops and seems to sit down for a few seconds about every 5 minutes or so? Is there any other tools I can use to try to troubleshoot what is occuring on the router?

I have a similar setup to yours. I am also running svn12250, at least for another day or so. Eko has released svn12268!
A couple days aago, i decided to change my "wl1" transmission from "Mixed" to "G Only", thinking it would work better with all my G-only devices. Wrong! Suddenly, my G network was unstable, or would not hand out IP addresses. My N network also dropped to a max of 54mbps with my 4965AGN.
After resetting to "Factory Defaults", and redoing my settings, everything was working fine again.
Based on this experience, here are my suggestions: Use "Mixed" wireless mode and "Auto" channel on "wl1". I also suggest you use the same type of wireless security on "wl0" and "wl1". I am using WPA2 Personal-AES with the same password for both my "NA-Only" ("wl0") and "Mixed" ("wl1") networks.
Hope this helps! _________________ 1x Netgear WNDR3300 - Eko 12250M mini

Has anybody else noticed a problem with PPPoE on the latest 2 eko builds?
I am currently using:
DD-WRT v24-sp2 (06/09/09) std - build 12268M NEWD Eko
on a WNDR 3300.
I can't seem to use PPPoE whatsoever. I select PPPoE in setup tab of the web gui, the PPPoE configuration options come up, I enter my username and password for my DSL connection (SBC / A&T / Yahoo! DSL), press the apply button, it looks like it applies, and I wait for it to give me an ip address but it never does (after waiting over a minute).
With Previous builds of the DD-WRT firmware (mainstream builds) on my old buffalo whr-54gs this was all I had to do to get my PPPoE connection working for my DSL.
searching the wiki for PPPoE troubleshooting ( http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Debugging_PPPOE_Problems ), I attempted to follow the instructions found there, enabling syslog to tty and attempting to manually run and gain diagnostic information from manually running pppoe. alas, I did not find any executable on the system called pppoe... I may have overlooked it, but as I understand it, it should live in /usr/sbin, /usr/bin, /sbin or /bin and I was not able to locate a program called pppoe or anything like it in any of those locations.
if anybody has any suggestions as to ways I can resolve this issue, please post away. meanwhile, I hate having my dsl modem do the pppoe stuff as it isn't really good at it).

I just flashed dd-wrt.v24-12250_NEWD_mini_wndr3300.chk using the netgear ui and it all went well.
hard reset and a few minutes later and it was all set up.
Cant believe how easy it was and how many cool features dd-wrt has.
Thanks Eko and everyone else who made this
@cpgeek - my pppoe worked fine - connected straight away through an old netgear dm602 modem (solwise sar110 f/w) in bridge mode. Are you sure your modem is configured correctly?

i configured my modem in pc mode and as a test I logged in with the same credentials successfully when plugging my modem directly into my MacBook pro and using IT'S pppoe. But then when I plugged it into my wndr3300, and rebooted them it didn't give my router an ip.
I HAVE flashed a couple versions of the eko releases to it without clearing my nvram so I think I'll write down all my config options and try hard resetting my router.
