Linksys - DD-WRT or Tomato?

Danger Phoenix · 15 Mar 2008 at 11:55

I need to upgrade the firmware on my WRT54GS v1.1 and I am stuck between DD-WRT and Tomato. Which one is better?

I need it because my housemate is hogging too much of the bandwidth, uploading and downloading and I need to limit his bandwidth and priorities. I also want it to manage connections better...

It really comes down to personal preference - try one and see what it's like?

Vote for DD-Wrt here, been running v23 SP2 for ages and its excellent, never tried tomato though so couldnt comment.

Tomato hands down :cool:

(Not that there's sod all difference between the two, personal preference tbh)

Tomato, because the web interface is so much nicer. And the QoS functionality actually works.

After trying DD-WRT, HyperWRT + thibor 15c and Tomato - Tomato by miles
