Introduction

Despite previous postings and the help info in DD-WRT Web GUI that Afterburner only works on the GS models, this speed-enhancing feature is available on all DD-WRT-capable G routers. It is hardware independent. SpeedBooster will only improve speeds when used with clients that also have the SpeedBooster/Afterburner feature; use with "normal" 802.11g clients will actually lower performance.

  • Afterburner can be used in networks that also have 802.11b devices, and will not disable the use of them.
  • Afterburner can help in environments dense with wireless signals.
  • Many MiniPCI cards built into notebooks and many PC Cards are based on Broadcom chips whose configurations support Afterburner

Brainslayer's Clarification of SpeedBooster

More information on what SpeedBooster is can be found here:

Hyperwrt

  • The following is pasted from the above link:
    • "It speeds up network throughput, but it is not intended to speed up Internet use. However, a speedbooster signal can be slightly more successful in a radio-dense environment."
    • "Once again, if your primary use is Internet, then Speedbooster will not impress you much. However, if you also do some regular networking because your network is 2 computers or larger AND you move files, print, look through digital camera photos, use movies/music across the network, then you might really like the faster technology."
