Wireless Router
Hi,

Are you using wireless router from your provider or from other third party providers?

If you use a router from your provider it is unable to adjust the speed of router. In other cases, you can adjust only if your router has an DD-WRT option. Supporting Devices of DD-WRT are Cisco, Buffalo, Accex, 3Com, Accton, Asus, Dell, Nokia etc. Some routers do not support this function.

First check whether your router supports DD-WRT Function. If it supports, you can able to adjust your download and upload speed. Otherwise it is impossible to adjust router speed.

Wireless Router
you want to shuck router limitations or you want to take your hardware and push it to its most extreme limits? That’s where DD-WRT steps in. It is an open-source alternative firmware for routers. Its software unlock features are static routing, VPN, repeating functions, the list goes on. It also unlocks settings that aren’t accessible normally, like antenna power and overclocking.
