Slow throughput from Gigabit ISP
I purchased my Nighthawk R9000 from FlashRouters with DD-WRT firmware installed and have had nothing but issues with its implementaion. I've been back-n-forth many times with the people there, and h...
Glad you have a working r9000. I ran DD-WRT on various routers starting with a Linksys WRT54G back in 2006. Was a solid firmware for the most part and lots more knobs to twist.
Thanks for the replies, guys. I had been in contact with FlashRouters and they sent me a link to get this:

Look correct? Sounds like that the way I'm going to have to go, which is fine by me. I was having so many issues with ExpressVPN disconnecting a lot and things losing connections all over the house.
I may also take a quick look at Voxel's firmware that plemans suggested.
I would do as labatt suggests and look at the back to stock from dd-wrt file. You don't want to brick your device changing firmwares.
I'd also suggest any firmware changes be done over a hardwired connection.
I assume that would be on the DD-WRT site? Thanks again for the help. I suppose none of the Reserved IP settings I've created for my network can be saved, can they? Any BACKUPS from the router as it is would, most likely, be garbage with new firmware.
yes, don't use your ip tables or backups
I decided NOT to revert back to OEM firmware and found a setting within DD-WRT that enables the "Shortcut Forwarding Engine". I now have full throughput on wired and wireless devices. No more VPN, which is totally fine with me. I need the speed and it's working now.
Thanks for all of the help.
