The dd-wrt driver has better signal strength and performance when a STA is some distance from the AP. (like 1 floor/2 rooms between) I have tried with 2 different Atheros chipset in AP mode, the AR5416 and AR9280. dd-wrt gives a stronger signal with both chipsets compared with openwrt. I know the ath9k is under development, so my question is if this is known by the development team and therefor will be worked on? Lars
