i'm using a GL and i guess now that the G-line is perverted with revision 5 and 6, this is the way to go.
Working beautifully on Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 for the last 2 days... can't be 100% sure yet, but QoS seems to be ACTUALLY working, and working quite well, have had a few phone calls with Azareus running and the quality was good, before, I was using another 3rd party firmware with QoS, and with Azareus, it was impossible to have any conversation.... will monitor more and report back.
In all of the threads I read, I never see anybody else running a WRT54G v1.0. Am I the only one left?
wrt54gl v1.1 here oh and wrt54g v1 is kinda a old model. so i expect most of em either died with age or were irreversibly bricked over their lifetime
Using it here on my WRT54G v1.1 and WRT54G v4! Best firmware I've had yet on these workhorses!! Pharma
Installed Tomato on one of my WRT54GL's... still running DD-WRT on the other 2 (also GL's). I am impressed... especially with the faster UI response times, the full featured QoS (still playing with this) and the real time charts for bandwidth usage and QoS. Tomato was easier to install too... almost as simple as installing the stock firmware.
Oops! I should have read the entire topic title before voting. I have a WRT54GS, but use Linksys firmware v1.50.5. :redface:
i using it on my asus wl500gp with a little vlan modification. nvram set vlan1ports="0 5" nvram set wan_ifname=vlan1 nvram set lan_ifnames="vlan0 eth2" nvram set lan_ifname=br0 nvram commit reboot and it works, only wlan not.
I tried dd-wrt, mostly to up my antenna transmit power (WRT54GS v4). But I was bewildered by all the other options! Anyway, I tried 70mW and my signal improved dramatically. "YES!" I thought. I ran it for a few weeks, but kept getting disconnects--wireless and wired--and it wouldn't reconnect after resuming from hibernation (WinXP). My wife was getting antsy. I tried posting on their forum, but was basically told it was my hardware . . . (T42 Intel 100/1000 Lan, Atheros a/b/g WL). Then I found Tomato. What a breath of fresh air--the software and the forum! I did learn that reserving IPs within DHCP (rather than full 'static IP' assignments) fixed my disconnect / reconnect problem. It may have even worked in dd-wrt, who knows? As for me, I'm not going to bother finding out--Tomato suits me fine. As for dd-wrt: it's an impressive and powerful piece of software. Problem is, power corrupts . . .
Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 as my main AP, and a Linksys WRT54Gv3 as a client bridge (WET). Configured to run with static DHCP, QoS (for Vonage), WPA. No problems at all. Love it!
GLv1.1 here, w/ WEP 128 (can't use WPA because my Nintendo DS doesn't support that kind of encryption ), static DHCP and, of course, qos . Never rebooted nor disconnected once (ADSL 4096/256 with ADSL2MUE in PPPOE bridged mode, was considering installing Routertech firmware) since configured correctly.
Getting ready to try out Tomato this weekend on my version 2 wrt54g. Looking forward to it as I am quite familiar with Jon's work, having used Tofu begining with his version 6 (somewhere back around October of 2005 I believe, was running Rupan's HyperWrt 2.1b1 and then HyperWrt 2.1b1 with 4.20.6 codebase before moving to Tofu) and running through all Tofu versions up to 13c. When Tofu development was discontinued, I switched to Thibor 15 and ended up on 15c which I've been running for quite some time now. I was always pleased with Tofu and I'm pleased with what I've read about Tomato, so I'm sure this is going to be fun. I also look foward to checking out the QOS features I've read so many great things about. With my trusty Packet8 BPA410, 2 client pc's, 1 server, WVC200, NSLU2, and WPS54G I'm looking forward to the fun of playing around with all the "real time" QOS features.
Tomato v1.07.1039 WRT54GL v1.1 since one day. As I am not a super tech guru (running one PC and one lappy by WLAN) I just wanted something else than the original fw ("Give me alternatives!"). I tried it for the funny name and maybe will use it's uber features one day. ATM I'm just totally thrilled by the graphical bandwidth display...
I use a Linksys WRT54GL 1.1 with Tomato 1.07 I registered today,because everything works fine at the moment with the infos of the board :wink:,that i visited till today as a guest
When I voted, I was using a Linksys WRT54 GL. Now I have changed to a Buffalo WHR G54S for various reasons: 1) looks better (WAF!) 2) needs less space 3) doesn't squeak 4) consumes less electrical power Btw, I purchased the device through BrainSlayers web shop, so I got one with DD-WRT preinstalled. I never intended to use this firmware, yet it made flashing of Tomato easier (as compared with tftp). Besides, purchasing there gave me the good feeling of having supported the "open source community".
Tomato v1.09 running on: WRT54G v2.0 configured as AP WRT54GL v1.1 configured as bridge for multiple wired clients
Got a Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 from local CC to test it out. But I ended up having to use it on job that day. Its up and functioning. I picked up 2 more the next day and I am running one at my house now and have the second for whatever. I need to try out WDS and a couple more features. I installed 1.10 with OpenVPN, and it worked just like the directions here say. I have been using WRT54G day in and day out for several years now and just drop that in whenever I needed to deal with a network or if I needed a WAP. I tried out DD-WRT and like it a lot. I used it on 2 older WRTs and its working well. I wanted to try tomato and could not find a WRT before V4 to try it on. When CC had a sale for the Buffalo... picked it up for $60 ($10 more then my go to WRT54G). I am considering whether I should buy like 10 today before the sale ends and they go back to $80 each. (Its only 20 bucks.... maybe not. But that is 33%)
I've used Tomato on a WRT54GL and also a WRTSL54GS and it's worked great. I don't need the USB function on the WRTSL54GS so I put Tomato on it. Tomato has been clearly superior firmware than any other firmware I've used in terms of performance, functions, and reliability on the SL. Thanks to Jon for his hard work on this project.
wrt54gl 1.0/wrt54g 2.0 any thoughts of making tomato usable on belkin routers (one of my belkin APs is able to fit the full version of dd-wrt on it but am not sure if i want to risk tomato if no one has tried it before)
Believe it or not... Tomato v1.17 is running just fine on my early-model Linksys WRT54G v1.0, with all the extra blinky LEDs doing their thing. It had previously been running Tomato v1.14 with no problems, but I got bitten by the upgrade bug. Regardless, I'm quite tickled with the performance of the router and firmware combination!
Actually i am using a Buffalo WHR-HP54G and a Asus WL500gPremium. Tomato 1.17 is running on both units without problems. But i am missing USB-support for the Asus.
I just got another Tomato based router, a WRT54G-TM. I'm going to use it as my main router, with my old V2.2 router connected to it via WPS.
WRT54GS v1 (200MHz CPU / 32MB RAM / 8MB Flash) Code: Tomato v1.21.1515 BusyBox v1.2.2 (2008.07.26-14:43+0000) Built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. # nvram get wl0_corerev 7
WRT54GL v1.1 Tomato 1.16 - PPOE,AP, OpenVPN, DDNS - basically my ISP in a box For last 1,5 years this router worked with DD-WRT v23 sp2. Switched to Tomato due to frecquent wifi crashes and low wifi speed (half that I get with Tomato)
WRT54GL I'm in Thailand where the WRT54GL is cheap and easily available. I use about 54 of them in several different buildings, with DD-WRT v24SP2 for the AP's and Victek's modded Tomato for the routers.
1 WHR HP G54 as access point. 1 WRT54GL v.1.1 for outdoor access point with parabolic 24 dbi antenna + omnidirectional. 1 WRT54GL v1.1 WDS. all of them use Tomato since ver 1.5.
See Signature... I also have other various modems/routers that I play around with.. Billion 5210 Netcomm NB1300 Linksys WAG200G D-Link G504T But the one's I use are in my Signature.
Hi all, i have a wrt54gl and am also using Tomato Raf 1.21.8005 by Victek and is really great, this guy knows what he is doing! As i also have a wrt350n and did't find any post about it, I would like to have some info about flashing it with Tomato 1.21 as the wrt350n has 300Mhz CPU speed, 32MB Ram and 8MB Flash mem, that doubles the wrt54gl.
the Buffalo in the sig. Switched from ddwrt. For vpn functionality, I just used a ddwrt-fonera as vpn server.
I use it on both an Asus WL-500gP and an Asus WL-520gU. The WL-520gU is a great router and perhaps one of the best values out there right now for running this FW, IMHO...
I keep evolving my setup. Currently using a Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 with Tomato 1.23 ND as the router/gateway (with wireless disabled), and an Asus WL-520GU as a dedicated access point (with NAT disabled). I've found this to be faster and more stable overall than running combined router and wireless functionality on one box. I'm using the Asus firmware (3.0.0.5) on the Asus box so that I keep the USB print server functionality, but still get the nice network management features of Tomato on the Buffalo. Honestly, with the lower load on each unit by separating the functions, it's running much like a commercial-grade system. My wireless stability is now much better when the wired side of the network is being hammered... I used to get occasional wireless disconnects when torrenting (wired) previously, the Buffalo was just working its heart out and would lock up the wireless side. I'm very impressed thus far with the new configuration, especially considering the little Asus box was less than $40. Speed and stability are both up.
Asus WL-520GU with tomato 1.23 ND usb+ftp/samba mod v21 form teddy bear. It sits in between DSL Modem and Linksys RTP300 with their own firmware. Jumped from DD-WRT after came across better usb support of tomato.
Netgear FR114P w/ stock firmware -- Routing, NAT, DHCP, 5 years+ solid. + WRT54GL w/ Tomato 1.25 -- WiFi AP, running well.
