TomatoUSB

Hi: I flashed my E3000 yesterday and it's working great, the problem I ran into is that when I attach my WD1.5TB wich is 50% full the E3000 freezes after 10 mins or so, I couldn't find any help / recommendation in the database.

Thanks

More info please. What version of TomatoUSB are you using? What format is the drive? What happens during the 10min when its NOT freezing? etc…

Thanks, Version 1.28

tomato-E3000USB-1.28.9054MIPSR2-beta-Ext

the hd is a wd elements external usb drive, not sure about the format, I think it's NTFS, before it freezes you have normal access to everything (internet, data on the disk, etc)

Thanks!!

There are newer versions for the E3000. They have newer drivers etc… that may solve the problem. FOr example Toastman's latest builds are here: http://tomatousb.org/forum/t-455117/new-toastman-release-1-28-7497-variants-march-19-2012. There are also builds by Shibby, Victek, and others that might be worth checking out for the E3000.

Also, check this out for getting better support faster, or even possibly solving your own problems:

OK, thanks, I upgraded to

tomato-E3000USB-NVRAM60K-1.28.9055MIPSR2-beta-git-20110414-Ext

Everything works flawlessly until I turn on the media server, when the media server is off but everything else is activated I have no problems at all, the problem arises when I turn on the media server, it works fine for 10 mins and then the router freezes, no access, no internet access and I have to unplug it, so I guess it has something to do when the router scans the media in the HD, could this be? if so, do you suggest I do something else?

Thanks

I run into exactly the same issue, the solution appears to be underclock the cpu from default 480Mhz down to 453 Mhz, router becomes stable. I guess the USB port on E3000 does not feel comfortable on such a high clock-level.

On newer toastman tomatousb built, you can navigate to menu advanced-misc section to change it through GUI, for older tomatousb builds, do it manually
Navigate to (Tools > System)

Paste the following commands.

nvram set clkfreq=440,220,110
nvram commit
reboot
