Tomato for ARM routers

Upgrade from DD-WRT follow your instruction above. 5G works fine, but without 2.4G available.

And I restore all to factory in Tomato (Clear NVRAM, though mode), then it result in wireless lost (no wireless device and configuration could be found in Tomato).

----
Update: I reboot it and 2.4/5G wifi did appear. It seems no problem now.
Thanks Shibby's great Tomato in Netgear R7000.

<------ THIS PROBLEM WAS IN THE YOUTUBE VIDEO FROM SHIBBY (7:40)

;D
 
I follow the instruction video and set Country to SG.

5G wifi can be found but could not be connected with WPA2 Personal encryption. When I set the security option to disable, 5G can be connected.

2.4G work well with WPA2 Personal.
 
Have not loaded firmware yet. Given I have a bit of configuration to do am waiting to have time as well as maybe for next release of the firmware.

I had WPA2 problems with RMerlin's latest builds on my Asus RT66U. Not sure it there is any common code. Just wanted to put it out there.
 
First in France :)
Tests in progress...

EDIT : Can't set 5ghz to channel AUTO with a 80Hz width. I can choose 2 channels 5.2 or 5.765 when choosen have 5Ghz wireless network in config. But i can't see it with my devices.
Set 5ghz country to SG but no success...

yes I did, followed YT vid on my smartphone to be sure...

I'm trying to erase nvram atm to retry

Another question : does conntrack_rtsp is available ?
 
do erase nvram one more time, after that do another reboot. Country of 2,4G should be EU (by default) and country of 5G should be SG (by default). Just check, don`t change anothing, don`t save. All should works correct.

I`m using tomato on R7000 from 5 days and i haven`t any issue with wireless. I tested on mobilephone, 2 laptops (2,4 and 5G) and also on PCE-AC68 (link 1300mbps). No problem with wi-fi.

@yanfox - dont set Auto. Just select channel. For me the best is channel 40 with Sideband Upper.
 
@shibby20 thanks for your quick answer, just erased nvram again and check as you said for EU/2.4 and SG/5 (everything's OK and did not save). Set WPA2 personnal AES passkey for 2.4 and 5, changed wireless name and set 5Ghz channel. I can confirm that in auto it don't work but when choosed a channel everything seems OK. 5ghz SSID seems to take take to appear in my case (tried with iphone 5S macbook and acer Win7 laptop, will try with another ac computer later).

When I choosed channel 40, I got an unkown error but parameters seems to be saved and now i see my 5ghz SSID

thanks again !!!

erase nvram -> another reboot -> config 5G, and 5G/WPA2 is OK now. Thanks!

Update: after setting some options, 5G could not be connected again...

Then I check the options one by one and found that once I change "Wireless Interface eth3" to "Default" (E4:F4:C6:00:E9:** to E6:F4:C6:00:E9:**) as your YT video said, the 5G will become un-connectable with WPA2 (but connectable without encryption). After changing back to E4:F4:C6:00:E9:**, 5G WPA2 works well again.

sorry to ask again but did you see my little question about module conntrack_rtsp ?

EDIT: forgot my silly question... it's in advanced, and I've already tried this in the past...

excuse me

EDIT 2 : Works like a charm :) thank you again you're the best ! No go to make ipv6 et vlan100 working :)

I really appreciate all the hard work, You, Vic, and Roadkill is putting in to tomato ARM. I have a R7000 myself, but I think I will sit back a bit, and see how it's running for everyone first. Also can't wait till you guy's are able to get the couple features not currently working, working :).
 
First off, a huge thank you! I've been waiting for Tomato on the R7000 and now have it happily running :)

I had the same thing, change back to 4 (from 6) on eth3 brought 5G back up again, thanks for the post, I had some head scratching before I scrolled down to your post :)
 
Hi,

Thanks for your efforts Shibby - I have just upgraded my R7000 with your firmware.

One thing I have noticed is that the 2.4 and 5Ghz LEDs do not work - they were working fine using Netgears firmware. Not sure if this is a known issue.
 
Hello Shibby. Firmware seems to work ok and web interface is fast comparing to Netgear Genie. I understand that Tomato for r7000 is under developing stage so here few my observations:
Can't set virtual WiFi network without disrupting 5G network settings (5G options are dissapeared from Wireless Basic settings). I don't see any options for implicit/explicit beam-forming or airtime fairness does they are implemented? Thank You for Your hard work.
 
I'm wondering if the higher 5GHz. channels are available in the SG locale? That would be channels 149-165 that are used in the US? If not, what 5GHz. channels are available to be selected?

Thanks.

Edit: Never mind, I saw from the movie clip that there's one lower and one upper channel available for wireless-AC on 5GHz.

been lurking a long, long time, retired my tomato wrt54g for an r7000 recently, but had kept the wrt in the chain to get dnsmasq and good range, I had to register to say congratulations and thank you here shibby! Do you realize how major of an accomplishment this is? I recall i think Rmerlin saying last march or so that tomato on arm is unlikely, improbable and just impossible for a single person, while i'm sure you had some help it seems like you rocked this mostly by yourself.. wow man.. i look forward to future releases and will be installing the alpha tonight!

you have right. Thanks for this info!
 
This is an amazing work :) I'm playing with it since a few hours and i'm stuck at 2 points :

1) I want to use ebroute like explain here : http://vibe.ipv6.free.fr/ to be able to use ipv6 provided by my ISP. when i'm try to load the ebtables module I got this error :

The kernel doesn't support a certain ebtables extension, consider recompiling your kernel or insmod the extension.

Do you have any idea to correct this ?

2) I want to use a specific port 1 or 4 for a VLAN tagged 100 like explain here : http://guillaume.vaillant.me/?p=256 I don't know how to make this possible with tomato...

Any suggestions ?

thanks :)
 
Everything works fine, but after flashing wifi zone decreased in 2 times.
How late safely lift transmitter power?
thanks
 
Someone has the NAT loopback working in R7000? I have following settings: NAT Loopback: ALL, NAT Target Masquerade but it doesn't work.
I need some help with that.
