Liking Tomato router Firmware on Linksys WRT54GL

Post by FlyingPenguin »

Been using DD-WRT on my own and client's Linksys routers for a long time as it's super stable and reliable. You almost never have to reboot a router running it.

I've also heard a lot of good things about Tomato so I gave it a try and installed it on a couple of new WRT54GL routers I purchased for clients. I really like it. Very clean control panel that's simpler to navigate than DD-WRT, and it seems to reboot a lot faster than DD-WRT.

Also seems less finicky to flash the firmware to Tomato.

I've heard good things about it too, but just never got around to messing with it.
