TomatoUSB

I really want to try out TomatoUSB, but I don't actually sure if it won't brick my router.
I think D1 modification is not and quite RT-N12, it has at least different CPU, has more flash memory.
So what firmware should I choose?

Brief summary:

Flashed tomato-K26-1.28.RT-N5x-MIPSR2-108-Max.trx by Shibby

So far so good;)

I got a review unit of Asus N12 HP, it's a variant of the D1 with 2 pcs 9dbi antennas and the tx power can be safely set to 200mw as per their manual.

Loaded toastman tomato-K26-1.28.0500.5MIPSR2Toastman-RT-N-VLAN-Std and it installed fine I guess.

Need for time to test, unfortunately, it's not completely supported because I can't change from 20mhz to 40mhz or vice versa, the option isn't there.

Name tomato
Model Broadcom 11/0x054D/08:60:6e:ce:48:30/0x1101/0x80001710
Chipset Broadcom BCM53572 chip rev 1 pkg 8

Channel settings isn't available in GUI and 20/40mhz option is also not available.

Played with the variables via commandline then restarted.
Was able to switch from 20mhz and 40mhz.

wl0_nbw=20
wl0_nbw_cap=0
wl0_channel=x

It's a bit of a hassle not being able to do it via GUI but hey it works so I guess it's okay.

Have a look at page 2 in this general section here for Tomato on N12HP. I have a HP variant running great on Tomato by Shibby.

I can't post a link.

Yes I've read your post but there are many options missing such as switching from 20mhz to 40mhz.

There might be bugs as well; I've created a thread on the other forum and a developer answered, I want the device to be supported properly so more can enjoy tomato cheers.

Mine has the option to switch between 20 or 40MHz. There's quite a bewildering range of settings and I don't know what they all are. More than I can use. The stock firmware was more my speed but I like the access restriction method in Tomato a lot better. It is quite stable too.

I feel stupid for using an outdated toastman release with it before.

Just updating an old query.

I loaded BT-VPN 110 Shibby later and everything works.
detected as a B1 model though.

For DD-WRT people RT-N12 HP works nicely with it too.
I loaded this mini version.
2013/05-27-2013-r21676/broadcom_K26/dd-wrt.v24-21676_NEWD-2_K2.6_mini_RT-N12B1.trx

By the way no console pin header on this just blank pads together with what seems like JTAG pads.
Didn't try testing the pads for connectivity since it has rescue mode anyway.

Hi, I just want to make sure, what firmware version is right now actual for RT-N12 D1 (sorry, beginner, so I don't want to brick my Asus)

Thank you

Dan
