Tomato 1.16 Firmware

ahh ok, thanks

I'm using WPA-PSK with AES encryption now compared to TKIP, I am seeing better pings on TF2 now (22~) and am able to maintain over 2MB/sec on downloads. Can anyone confirm that AES is defo better than TKIP as far as I understood, AES uses hardware encryption whereas TKIP used software so required a larger overhead compared to AES ?

This firmware has crippled my connection

anyone know what could be wrong? I was on 1.10 and it was fast low pings very reliable, upgraded to 1.16 and now cant browse, games do not connect to the servers and basically it has become extremely sluggish.

Did you reset factory defaults and clear VRAM ?

VaderDSL · 22 Feb 2008 at 18:54

Yeah, have done a full reset to factory defaults and have cleared VRam, nothing at all

Browsing works, but a lot slower sadly. Games will not connect to servers now, COD4, CS, BF2 etc. etc.

When installing this firmware, do you browse to the rar file then click update, or do you extract the rar file and browse to something different?

I have downloaded the 1.15 as it doesn't say the 1.16 is fully tested yet.

My router is the WRT54GL V1.1

I guess you have to restore factory settings once installed then reboot router?

You extract it and upgrade from the firmware file.

116 is fully tested on WRT54GL (I have the same router v1.1)

The build of 116 you mention is a different version, a test build, not the release version of 116 but a "test" version independent of final 116.

Nope you upload it to the router via the routers page using the upgrade option!

Turns out it was very weird timing on my part, on 1.10 it was working flawlessly, upgraded to 1.16 and roughly at the same time Bethere ISP started having issues, still getting 1.15mb/s throughout on downloads, but some weird routing problems.

Can someone take a look at the following,

Microsoft Windows [Version 5.2.3790]
(C) Copyright 1985-2003 Microsoft Corp.

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>tracert www.yahoo.com

Tracing route to www.yahoo-ht3.akadns.net [87.248.113.14]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

Trace complete.

That is problems with bethere network yes? nothing to do with my DNS settings or anything router related?

Never liked Tomato. Using Hyperwrt myself

Camalot · 24 Feb 2008 at 12:32

Using Tomato now but noticed that i cant use WPA2 Personal security for my wireless, my laptop will only connect using WPA Personal :confused:

Loving the Access Restriction

I can set the wireless to turn off through the night

Also like the bandwidth monitor, shocked at how much MB you use just sittin about on MSN.

1.17 is out

Rabtech · 1 Mar 2008 at 11:37

Installed the 1.17 firmware, the bandwidth monitor graphs are groovy - my favourite feature is the connection tracker which is seperated into categories.

Also the daily, weekly, monthly bandwidth stats come in very handy too.

Under Bandwidth - > Real-Time?

Hmmm?

Ive never seen any graphs on this page :confused:

Thought that big gap was strange :confused:

Rabtech · 1 Mar 2008 at 12:29

Looks like your missing the graphs, try using firefox (which I'm using here), should work fine.

bledd · 1 Mar 2008 at 12:29

camalot, can you see them in firefox in there?

try doing a full nvram flash

Is there any option to install SNMP with Tomato?
Saw a guide on linksysinfo.org but it means keeping a Samba share up and running just for a working SNMPd, which is a bit of a faff...
