Hello! I have a Linksys WRT54G v5 router that is from 5 to 7 yrs old. Working great, but I just got upgraded by COMCAST to BLAST which gives me 55Mbps + on several different speed test sites. I am getting "wireless" speed of 20 Mbps with the Linksys, so I felt I was missing out on some speed, so I was looking for a new router.
Then I came across your forum and the threads on DD-WRT.

I am not really technical --- maybe average or a little better, but I believe I could do the DD-WRT upgrade. Do you think it would give me more wireless speed with this router? It is old, but I love the router.

My modem is an Arris TM822G (brand new).

Any advice or thoughts on a new router would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
