TomatoUSB

Today I flashed TomatoUSB version 1.28 onto my Asus RT-N66U router. My cell phone (an LG Optimus Slider, running Android 2.3.4) is not able to connect to my wireless network. I have configured my wireless network settings the same way as they were previously, and all of my other wireless devices (laptop, iPod Touch, Nintendo Wii) are able to connect without any changes in their settings. My phone was able to connect to the router with the stock Asus firmware, so I'm not sure what's wrong.

These are the wireless settings I've configured in my router, for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz:
Wireless mode: Access Point
Wireless Network Mode: Auto
Channel: Auto (I have also tried different channels that Tomato says aren't in use by other routers)
Channel Width: 40 MHz
Control Sideband: Upper
Security: WPA2 Personal
Encryption: AES
Group Key Renewal: 3600 seconds

I have also tried using different SSIDs for 2.4GHz and 5GHz. I'm at a loss as to why my Android phone can't connect. Does anyone have any ideas/tips?

Change security to WPA/WPA 2 Personal
and encryption to TKIP / AES

Change security to WPA/WPA 2 Personal
and encryption to TKIP / AES

I've tried that, but my phone won't connect with those settings either.

i have WPA2 Personal / AES and i`ma able to connect my HTC Desire Z without problem with RT-N66u + my Tomato (095 at the moment).

which tomato version you have? Try my build (with new wireless broadcom driver).

Maby you should choose a fix channel rather then AUTO - mode

Had the same problem but got the phone (Desire HD Android 2.5) to connect using the WPS feature + pin number.. I have no idea why it didn't work by entering the key myself…

So from wht i see every site ive gone to needs a credit card, which i dont have..never did. is there anyway i can unlock this dam phone for free?

When I set up Shibby's tomato-Netgear-3500Lv2-K26USB-1.28.RT-N5x—102-AIO my HTC Android slider couldn't see the SSID at all. Not even right next to the router. Now, that's the same SSID my dead router had had. Other systems just connected, WPA2 Personal AES passphrase and all. But not the phone, since it refused to see it. Then I changed Wireless Network Mode from Auto to G Only. Bang, the SSID was seen by the phone. So I connected. Good connection. Then I changed the Wireless Network Mode on the Shibby Netgear back to Auto. And the phone still sees the SSID and connects fine.

Don't really know why that worked like that. Maybe the phone was trying to protect me against and "imposter" SSID? Just strange.
