If anyone wants to edit this page, fine: please make sure you can actually verify yourself the information you are putting in here. Provide links, actually have use of a WHR-HP-G54 to test yourself. Every edit I've done here is information which has been tested with my equipment numerous times.

This is notice I'm planning on fixing up some typos on method number one of antenna modification-RP-SMA addition ('my' method, using the CONREVSMAxxx part from the people over at LINX),

and redoing method #2, as radioman193 on the DD-WRT forum comments there are problems with what the poster of 'method 2' as of 2010 03 27, did. For one, he is claimed to have connected his second antenna line too far from the signal source. When it's time, I will *move* that section, method #2, over to the Talk/Discussion page, and replace it with a better (IMHO) version.


2009 01 I actually have a WHR-HP-G54, and have verified it myself (it surprises me that people would try to contribute otherwise). I find that setting boardflags=0x2758 (RC4 default) results in better receive sensitivity than boardflags=0x3758.

With 0x2758, my WHR-HP-G54 reports a client signal quality around 95%. When I change boardflags to 0x3758 (exact same client, exact same location, nothing changing except the boardflag change), the WRT reports a client signal quality around 85%.

I also find that simply making the nvram commit seems to almost immediately have an effect on the sensitivity ratings displayed in the status screens. So the reboot might not be necessary (after reboot the status settings continue to display the same data as right before the reboot).
