I have installed this firmware since I thought it'll be faster. However sometimes it's just slower than it was, but in some cases things are much worse - for example, even Gmail fails to work.
Is it possible to recover/reinstall the original firmware? I have read steps about OpenWrt but not about DD-WRT. Should I just install OpenWrt?

You can download the latest "original" firmware from TP-Link's Download page.
A utility is included whose purpose is unclear - you might try and see if it helps.
The installation instruction at this article says:
WARNING: Only perform the dd action below if your original firmware has the word "boot" in it, for example, wr1043nv1_en_3_9_17_up_boot(091118).bin. Please do not dd your original firmware if it has no "boot" in its name, for example, wr1043nv1_en_3_11_5_up(100427).bin, because if you do, you will brick your router!

Yepp.. but how to upload it to the router? If I just put it to firmware upgrade, it says I cant do it like that. SO FAR, I've found this guide: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=450943&sid=4f23da2b1774bd505e159dcba7876ce1 >> - get the original, 'cut' firmware: >>mtd -r write filename linux .... << would this work? :/
– Apache – 2010-10-21T15:20:48.237Apparently not : see my edit. I would download the firmware and utility and see if it helps. You might need to connect the router thru a serial cable (?). Let me know how it goes. – harrymc – 2010-10-21T16:08:42.240
You have a particularly troublesome router. See http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=68793&sid=662998b1ee98f72f6d5b2c578aca7976. Are you sure it won't be simpler to buy a new router?

– harrymc – 2010-10-21T16:31:50.493The one I have linked fixed the issue. First I used that "cut" firmware with ssh and pendrive, and then reflashed it again with the original one. Thank you. (the first what I linked and what you your new answer is. :)) – Apache – 2010-10-22T21:09:17.840
