I had a brand new WRT54GL, which I put tomato on. It would download fine, but upload was at best 1-2Kbs! It was awful. It also made an odd hissing noise...

So I sent it back to the fine folks at Broadbandbuyer, and they sent another one. Flashed that with tomato, and it's been fine since. So I wonder if there's some odd quirk of the WRT54G family that perhaps something 'goes' which results in performance issues? Dunno!
