TomatoUSB

Hi,

I installed Tomato v1.28.0000 MIPSR2-109 K26 USB Max on Linksys E2500 v1.0. Switched to Wireless Ethernet bridge mode. Fill some data, restarted and it's working! However I still have few questions which "Google" didn't answer me.

#1 Under Basic/Network menu
should I fill Static DNS of main router (192.168.1.1) and in two additional fields DNS servers from ISP?

#2 Under Advanced/ DHCP/DNS Server LAN menu
"Use internal DNS" .. should I leave it checked?
"Use received DNS with user -entered DNS" .. should I check it?

#3 Under Advance/Routing/Miscellaneous
"Mode" set to Gateway … I assume it's correct. What does "Router" mode do anyway?
DHCP Routes .. checked (should I leave it?)
RIP v1 & v2 … should I leave it unchecked?
Efficient Multicast Forwarding … should I enable it?

Thanks for any help. Unfortunately I do only remote administration now so I have to be careful not to break anything.

Answer is "no" to all your questions.

Which specific build for the E2500 did you use? Could you please link to it?

I don't see a "USB Max" version… and I already "juiced" an M20 trying different firmwares.

I flashed firmware: "tomato-E2500-NVRAM60K-1.28.RT-N5x-MIPSR2-110-Max.bin"

Downloaded from site: "h"t"t"p":"/"/"tomato.groov.pl"/"download"/"K26RT-N"/"build5x-110-EN"/"Linksys%20E-series"/"tomato-E2500-NVRAM60K-1.28.RT-N5x-MIPSR2-110-Max.bin

Sorry - I can't post link on this forum so remove any (") from previous URL and you should get valid link.

I didn't encounter any problems flashing this firmware.
