    You should review this and maybe revert back to this recommended version of FW:

    I've looked here again after a while and I can't belive the problem is still not solved....

    Since I've flashed Tomato a few weeks ago I've forgotten that I have a router- it's working perfectly getting dust because i do not touch it at all :-)...

     

    Parental control works perfectly, 0 drops, strong signal - save your time and do a similar thing!

For those of you that have flashed your firmware to XWRT-Vortex, have you noticed any difference (increase or decrease) with the range of both 2.4G and 5G compared to the NG firmware?

In default setting it is pretty much the same but as it is rock stable without dropouts it feels much better. In XWRT-Vortex you can also adjust the TX-power. Default setting is 50% and can be increased. Be aware that you might shortened your hardware lifespan.
