TomatoUSB

I am trying to install Tomato on my router. I looked through the wiki and plan to install the Shibby version. I have downloaded the following file.

tomato-E3200USB-NVRAM60K-1.28.RT-N5x-MIPSR2-104-AIO.bin

Since, I can't find a guide out there, I was wondering are there any steps I need to follow to install this on my router ? Or just select the file in the upgrade utility. I have never done this before and don't want to end up bricking my router. I am aware of the 30-30-30 procedure. Anything else to be done apart from that ?

The router is Linksys E3200 on (official?) firmware 1.0.04

I followed the procedure from the dd-wrt wiki for the E3200, then after getting dd-wrt loaded, re-flashed using the firmware you mentioned (doing 30-30-30 between each step), and all went fine.

You might be successful skipping the dd-wrt firmware and going straight to Tomato, but I personally haven't tried that.

Hi,

I'd like to install tomato on my e3200 too, I even started - I mean I did the 30-30-30 reset,
but then stopped, because the router did still remember my settings.

Wasn't it supposed to be factory reset?

OK, I figured it out myself - I didn't press the right button :-) So noobish :-|

What would be the procedure for a new E3200 with stock firmware on it? Can I go straight to Shibby Tomato USB?

Sure. TFTP it right over the stock firmware. Check the tutorials on this site.

Hi GeeTek. So TFTP is preffered over the web update?
What file (version) would you recommend?

According to this table there is a special build for your router ; http://tomato.groov.pl/?page_id=69

The download folder has several different e-series routers, but only one file for the e3200 ;
http://tomato.groov.pl/download/K26RT-N/build5x-108-EN/Linksys%20E-series/

This should be the direct link to the golden nugget you need ;

Thank you GeeTek. I downloaded and installed the suggested firmware and everything seems fine.
I setup multiple ssid's with VLAN trunking to an external switch and it seems fine.
There is just one thing that I'm not sure about: From what I read I can only use VLAN ID 1-15?
Can I use for instance vlan 10, 20 and 30? Will that work?

Sorry, I am not sure what the status of the higher VLANS is.
