TomatoUSB

Hi,
I just discovered TomatoUSB after looking to upgrade my routers (running WRT54G-TM with Tomato).

I am looking at getting either a WRT610 or 320 (2 of them for my current set up) so I can take advantage of the 10/100/1000 wan port (dual band would be nice, but price is the key! -plus I do not want to end up with a 610 v1 and cannot use tomato with it).

Is there any special way to load the TomatoUSB firmware? Do I just upload the firmware over the linksys one? And then clear the NVRAM?
Is that that simple or I need to do something else?

I am asking as loading it on the TM, was a bit of a process (DD-WRT first, then tomato, keeping password, etc.).

Thanks

Sebastien

(DD-WRT first, then tomato, keeping password, etc.).

this is good way.

So I have to load DD-WRT first ?
I have seen some screenshot that were showing TomatoUSB being loaded on top of the linksys firmware.

Is it worth it/any other reason (besides the gigabit speed) to upgrade from a WRT54G-TM to a 310/610 ? If not, I'll keep what i have for now!

So I have to load DD-WRT first ?

this is universal way and always works on any routers. Maybe is another way specially for linksys wrt610/310…. i dont know.

@Sebastien - so instead of spending the 10 extra minutes it takes to install dd-wrt first, you waste hours re-asking here and waiting for a reply to tell you that yes you should load dd-wrt first. Not a very good strategy. And not one that makes people want to help you when they have to tell you twice.

@karog - I understand. I just wanted to make sure, as in another post, an How To was posted that demonstrated that TomatoUSB was loaded on top of the linksys firmware (w/o going through DD-WRT)

(the how to site linked from a post) http://www.howtogeek.com/60774/connect-to-your-home-network-from-anywhere-with-openvpn-and-tomato/

I was asking before buying a router and see where I was going. I did not look into dd-wrt yet for those routers, but will do now. Thanks.

@karog - So instead of just writing "Yes", you are obnoxious about it. Well done for wasting everyone's time.

This is a free forum dude, and you're getting free comments. Don't expect him to suck your cock while typing a pleasant reply that'll give you an orgasm when you read it.

@Karog - Also, as it just so happens, you are WRONG. The tomatoUSB firmware K26 NoUSB STD firmware update will install to the WRT310N V2 directly from the linksys firmware upgrade gui.

Well done for being a butt head

Sick of people being non-proactive on these sites, why bother posting if you are not going to be helpful.
