prasys... i just got the wrt54gl 2 days ago so i'm good to go for this firmware? Is there anything else that i need to take note of? I scare later kill my own router. THen as for the password and username. Is it the same?

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.

another tomato-er reporting in!

Are you into p2p ?

yea.. definitely.. thats what streamyx for.

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

i'm using this

so we can say speedmod for p2p geek and victek for superb QoS?

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

Just switch from dd-wrt to the tasty tomato. When i'm using dd-wrt v24, i got dhcp problem. Now everything is solved after switch to tomato.

with this tomato.. yesterday i tested at my house.

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.

u wont regret at all after switched it.

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.

Hmm.. Any firmwares I could use on DSL-2640T

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 ..

Added on June 29, 2008, 5:34 pmWhat 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.

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

ah damn it, it says version 6!

What choices do I have for firmware?
