OpenWRT – Followup – Improved Latency / Ping

As I work for a hosting company that monitors a LOT of network traffic data it’s only natural that my own DSL line is being “watched” (it makes talking to our ISP a lot more interesting!)

So what changed?
The only thing that changed was the firmware on the Linksys WRT54G.
Nothing else has changed in my setup.
I’m not complaining, but the difference is startling.
If only I had known 🙂
