I flashed mine within 5 minutes. For the username and password, both are "admin" in my case, if it won't work try "root". The only thing that troubles me after flashing is that I cannot find the place to enter my Streamyx login details, it's like hidden.

Just in case you are as blur as me, it's at Basic > Network > Choose PPPoE on the drop down menu (Type) under WAN / Internet. It took me quite sometime to look for it as I was searching on every single tab looking for the form, who knows it is hidden—considering I know quite nothing about those things.

Any free wifi signal strength monitor that will display signal strength in %? The bars aren't that reliable IMO.

Use Speedmod version or the modded version. It improves overall RAM usage and total number of connections.

I am using that

_ Updated to BusyBox 1.10.2 (IP WAN DHCP renew tested and fixed)
_ JHash Conntrack 8092 connection (Speed Mod)
_ Conntrack default values adjusted for high P2P load
_ Theme for visual handicaped
_ Eight additional themes, Bluedream, Enlightenedd, Tijuana, Asus, Linksys, Buffalo
_ Spain TZ included
_ CPU Frequency.
_ Previous IP display
_ Two additional window for Button script
_ Bandwidth Limiter per IP/MAC
_ Code Optimization

It comes with SpeedMod + lots of mods and its way faster. It has improved QoS , which is better then regular Tomato !

victek is jack of all trades. Victeck mod's includes the speedmod + Improved QoS. But since it has some extras , it doesn't give you as much of Free RAM as Speedmod's firmware. Both do have its pros and cons. If you are more into p2p and you want more memory space , then opt for speedmod. but if you're into qosing and p2p too , then opt for Victek

Compared to stock linksys firmware, i get occasionally high latency and poor connection. But with tomato.. it seems to be gone. I pump up to 70mw and the router doesn't becomes too hot.

70mW consider safe for the router. But the best is to wait until warranty finish. Open up the router and put some "metals" inside it.

Well Tomato firmware is getting popular and its way better then DD-WRT in many ways. especially when it comes to stability. DD-WRT was once a good firmware and it is now bloated up as windows vista.

i'm using a DSL-2640T currently.. also got a WRT54GS which i'm flashing with tomato atm, but no spare modem so can't test it with internet... well I *could* through the dsl-2640t but it would add a few unneeded ms

I tried flashing it with WRT54GS.bin and it immediately said error, then I tried WRT54GSv4.bin and again a error thing popped up. What should I do?

I'm attempting to put Tomato 1.19.8815 Mod

Is there a way to completely block P2P using this firmware? I used the access restriction to block it now. But still haven't test whether it is working.

Tomato has the predefined P2P applications/port numbers. Just include them in the access restriction rules and you'll be fine. It is so simple.. anyway, I'm using Tomato on WRT54GSv4 and WRT54GL .. both configured to support AP+WDS and the WRT54GSv4 as the Internet gateway connected to an ADSL modem. Been using Tomato since it was available and love the simplicity ..

What version do you have for your WRT54GS? Version 5 and above I believe is not supported by Tomato. You may need to go for DD-WRT.

personally I suggest to use Tomato if your router have large memory, eg. 32MB or above.

disagree...Tomato runs perfectly in my WRT54GL V1.1, which has only 16MB...
I only use ddwrt for its universal repeater feature...
