Hi bro I want to watch ptcl smart tv channels on my galaxy note 1 via wifi but the problem is that they're very choppy.There's some sort of consensus over tge internet that it can be fixed by increasing the multicast rate in the router however my problem is that there'se no option of increasing multicast rate on tenda w150 d. I was wondering if you could be of any help in this regrad.

Hello!
ReplyDeleteI'll look into the web interface, but, for now you may use the wlctl command via telnet (note that setting is reset on reboot):
- the help for wlctl gives this
mrate force a fixed multicast rate:
valid values for 802.11a are (6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54)
valid values for 802.11b are (1, 2, 5.5, 11)
valid values for 802.11g are (1, 2, 5.5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54)
-1 (default) means automatically determine the best rate
- so the command could be:
> wlctl mrate 54
though you may try
> wlctl -i wl0 mrate {value}
> wlctl -i wl0 bg_mrate {value}
as well! Currently I am using another router so I'll give this a try later!
Dear Ahmed,
ReplyDeleteI have tried to change firmwares on PTcl Tenda W150D routers and its was supremely successful. Now I am having difficulty changing firmware back to original on PTCL tenda W150D-U with EVO support. I am suspecting it to be locked.
Hello!
DeleteThe W150D-U router is similar to Tenda's d303 router and at least one person has posted about using Tenda's firmware on it on this blog. Although I don't have a W150D-U to test at this time, most likely the firmware would work and at most would require removal of header from firmware file if needed!
Hope this helps!
Regards,
Ahmed
As you may have learned that FCC has outlawed modifiable router and TP link has stated to lock down its new products. So its vital we can use old models with new capabilities.
ReplyDeleteHello!
DeleteYes it is true that FCC laid down some laws but (under pressure) they never accepted blocking 3rd party firmware(s). TP-Link however argues that it's simpler for them to lock down the router's firmware. Although, this should apply to US only it depends upon TP-Link to devote costs to different versions of routers for different regions.
Anyhow, it's only a matter of time and effort to defeat any locks put in place!
Better still, one can go for manufacturers that support open sourced firmware out of the box for their routers!

Ahmed
