[SOLVED] Using my Netgear Nighthawk (R7000P) as a wired connection with dd-wrt.

Hi,

Hope everyone is staying safe.

I was wondering if there were any tweaks for what I should disable or what I should keep enabled when using my netgear Nighthawk Router (r7000p) as a wired router. Or any tweaks that will speed up the router. I already have it overclocked a little bit I believe. Is there any website or anything like that. For example (Cts Protection Mode) Should I have that enabled or disabled I'm on just a wired connection all by myself using 1 computer windows 10 and that's it. No other users nothing. Also Tx power should I raise that It's at Auto now if I go to manual it's at 71. Should I raise it from that to maybe 100 or 200. Or does it have no affect on a wired connection. I'm not using wireless or wifi at all I have all wireless disabled in dd-wrt.

Thank you!!

Likely the fastest possible settings when using a wired connection is to load the factory firmware.

Last I heard dd-wrt does not provide support for the NAT hardware assist almost every router now uses to get high performance NAT. It only really matters is your internet connection is over 250mbps.

This feature allows the traffic to bypass the cpu and do the nat in hardware. Last I heard there were no drivers you could get for dd-wrt that supported this.

This is not just a restriction on dd-wrt. To use many of the advance features in routers that need the cpu to examine the traffic you must disable this feature. So you trade speed for features.
