I can't seem to find WMM anywhere in DD-WRT.. though searching on Google seems to show it being in the QOS section. Any DD-WRT experts care to chime in?

I updated my Intel driver and enabled WMM on my Windows 7 machine. The speed fluctuates from 48mbps to 54mbps now.. if only it would go up :)

I can't seem to locate WMM on the advanced settings in wireless. Here's what I see.

I looked in QoS first and couldn't find it there either. I'm still tinkering around with settings though so maybe I'll find something.

I switched back to the default Buffalo firmware for the router and I can confirm that it does have WMM support. Buffalo actually starting using DD-WRT for this router: http://www.buffalotech.com/press/releases/buffalo-and-dd-wrt-collaborate-to-create-the-most-comprehensive-consumer-and-small-business-wireless-offering/

So now I'm running Buffalo's version of DD-WRT. Still having the same issue though.
