Flashing Router
放假后, 无聊之下找点东西玩玩. 无意中发现了关于刷Router固件的自眼"Flashing Router". 搜索一下, 发现DD-WRT software project. 看了介绍, 刷了Router固件好处很多, 无线信号加强, 功能大大加强, 和连接速度加快等等. 不过刷固件要注意很多问题, 首先要看自己的Router适不适合刷. 我用的是Linksys WRT54GL, 刚好适合. 不过刷过程要小心, 否则Router会变砖头. (有得玩当然不放过拉, 烂了大不了买新的) 下载好固件dd-wrt.v23_mini_generic.bin 和 dd-wrt.v23_standard_generic.bin 后, 做好准备,开始工作了! 哈哈! 刷主板,刷内存,刷显卡, 刷PSP, 已经刷过不少东西了, 这小东西当然是没问题了, 一切在意料之中顺利完成. 有兴趣研究? 点这里http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php?title=Installation
刷完后设置好, 顺便上http://www.speedtest.net 测试一下速度, 意想不到下载速度又回去13400kbps了. 我用的是Cablevision 15M的, 刚开始也是13000kbps以上, 不过过了一个月后就变成3000kbps了, 开始以为是公司问题, 打电话没结果. 还是一样慢. 问了不少用Cablevision 的朋友, 他们都是一样慢, 个人认是Cablevision搞鬼. 但是数据显示是Modem到电脑的那断出问题, 但是原因是什么呢? 为什么个个都是一样慢呢? 我暂时也不确定, 不过换了这Router固件后竟然回去了1340kbps, 可算是最大的收获了.
补充: 发表完后, 有点不甘心, 为了找出速度提高的原因, 做了一个很简单的实验, 把Router拨了, 直接把电脑跟Modem连起来, 测试一下, 速度一样是很快的. 结果出来了, 速度变回的原因很简单, 不是因为刷了固件, 是因为我上次痛骂了Cablevision一顿. 想不到USA的服务也一样, 靠骗人来混过去.
(在comment里记下了我刷固件的详细过程, 有兴趣的可以看一下)
