Doesn’t seem like it’s been updated in a while i used fresh tomato. didnt remember which version but definely newer than shibby one. tried it but really unstable. long time taken to connect pppoe then reverted back to xwrt

QUOTE(alucard89 @ Dec 27 2020, 12:39 AM) Hi, may i how you did it? I tried uploading the freshtomato from xwrt but i just bricks the router. Had to go back to cfe method So i’ve been stuck almost 1 hour trying to boot to cfe page. Had no issues last time, but this time repeatedly pressing power + reset button 15-20 sec just doesn’t bring that page anymore. Any ideas guys? I just flashed it from XWRT directly. Working fine however with slow WAN reconnect and have to reset WAN connection upon BW Limiter, I went back to XWRT lol

QUOTE(alucard89 @ Dec 27 2020, 11:02 PM) Had to reset nvram then i was able to access cfe properly Btw, on freshtomato, how to setup as wireless repeater? Basically like this 4g usb modem —> freshtomato ws880 On wxrt there’s a repeater option for that, which makes it easy to setup. I also noticed on xwrt, if i try to set 4g modem as WAN I get really slow download speed (0.5mbps) but high upload speed 🤔 Maybe u can try this boss https://learntomato.flashrouters.com/setup-...20bridge%20link.

QUOTE(andrekua2 @ Mar 22 2021, 01:45 PM) Thermal pad gone... Also had two WS880. Given up after almost daily hang. Refused to buy thermal pad and I just used a lot of thermal paste and it was good for few months then start to hang again. Change to Tenda AC18 and it boosted my parents house Unifi speed. I already cracked open the case and install a fan to cool it but still hang. I see. Thats really bad. Maybe thats why they sold it so cheap last time. Fan also not doing anything?
