Hi Carlos,

- Yes, the linksys AP has a small cpu and in comparison with the userspace
openflow implementation it might be the bottleneck. The TP-Link box
performs much better.
- What bandwidth do you try to stream? IIRC, the linksys could go up to
~10Mbps for a single flow.
- Make sure that the flows are installed correctly and you don't get any
misses that try to reach the controller (i.e. check that your stats are
updated properly during the stream)
- To roll-back to non-OF use you need to stop the openflow daemon, and
change your /etc/config/network file so that the bridge between wired and
wireless is properly setup (I believe the original network configuration
that comes with openwrt should work)

Let me know how this goes,
Regards,
Yiannis
