Managed to find some time to compile the MLDonkey 3.0.1 a few days back. Installation instructions are similar to previous versions (e.g. MLDonkey 2.9.7)
- mldonkey lite – supports filetp, bittorrent
- mldonkey lite (no gd) – supports filetp, bittorrent
- mldonkey normal – supports filetp, bittorrent, edonkey
- mldonkey normal (no gd) – supports filetp, bittorrent, edonkey
- mldonkey full – supports filetp, bittorrent, edonkey, directconnect
- mldonkey full (no gd) – supports filetp, bittorrent, edonkey, directconnect
The D-Link DIR-600 router is a one-third wireless N device. What is one-third wireless N? It simply means that its wireless feature can perform at speeds higher than wireless G (802.11g) and lower than wireless N (802.11n).
Now the D-Link DIR-600 supports DD-WRT. For those who like to get more out of their device, simply download the firmware from this dd-wrt forum thread. Flashing it is relatively straight forward, simply get into the emergency web server page (setting your computer IP to be 192.168.20.80/24, then follow the “Getting into Emergency Recovery Page” section of Flashing DIR-300 back to original firmware).
Have fun!
The DWA-160 looks pretty much like its predecessor, DWA-140, except that it white in color and has support for 5Ghz band. Both the DWA-160 and DWA-140 are OEM from RAlink’s RT2870 so it is perfectly fine to use the drivers from RAlink’s website.
Did a wireless throughput test using the follow equipments:
- DWA-160
- HP EliteBook 2530p
- DIR-855
- DNS-343
- DNS-323
The test environment
Files of size greater than 4GB will be placed on the NAS (DNS-343, DNS-323) attached to the DIR-855. DWA-160 will be set up on the HP EliteBook 2530p using RAlink’s drivers for RT2870.
The HP EliteBook 2530p will be placed 5 meters from the DIR-855.

It finally arrived! Snapped some pictures of the USB adaptor. It should work perfectly with my DIR-855!

It seems to me that the wireless features of both the DIR-855 and DIR-655 are pretty much the same. The only exception is that DIR-855 came equipped with 5Ghz Wireless A/N band.
I remember being taught that the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength but higher penetrative strength. Shorter wavelength leads to shorter transmission distance. So I would expect wireless network on 5Ghz band to be shorter in range but packs more punching power through walls or obstacles. I’ve done a simple wireless speed test without any obstacles in this post (DIR-855 wireless speed).

Was wondering what would be the wireless throughput of the DIR-855. Put together a simple test by transferring files off my network share onto my laptops.
