TomatoUSB

Hey guys I've done a little research and just before I flash this Rt-N16 I'd like to know if this is the correct version of TomatoUSB.

Tomato-K26USB-1.28.7502.1MIPSR2Toastman-RT-Ext.trx

or should I use this build by Shibby?

Tomato-K26USB-1.28.RT-MIPSR2-112-Mega-VPN.trx

Both are correct for your router and both will work just fine. I'm running Shibby AIO (all in one) on mine and it works beautifully. You won't go wrong with either, just make sure it has all the features you want/need. You can check the tomato wikipedia site for all those details. Also, I had to flash with dd-wrt before putting on tomato. The stock firmware only recognized dd-wrt as being "valid" so that is the route I took and it worked perfectly. Good luck.

I am having my doubts about Shibby firmware. I have had some snags with Asus routers lately. All were with new Asus N-12 models. One with firmware .104 shows the wrong IP address for the gateway. It works, but the displayed info is wrong. This persisted after several firmware and hardware resets and re-programming. Today I installed another new N-12 with V. 101. It had been freshly reset and programmed. I have the LAN DHCP server starting at .30 and going to .225, but the first address it gave to my computer was .13 and it shows up in devices as .13

I restarted the router, released and renewed the IP and got .13 again.

In yet a third install from a couple of months ago I programmed the remote management port for 8999 instead of 8080. When I enable DMZ it forwards 8999 to the DMZ machine instead of the router listening to 8999 for inbound remote management. I'm thinking about dusting off an old version of VicTec to double check some of this shit to see if Shibby is getting buggy.

There have been some other known bugs being discussed in versions after .105, so I have not messed with anything newer than 104. Maybe if I get off my lazy ass and send him some money he will start watching what he is doing. As soon as he gets that "What version of software are you running ?" bullshit back out of the firmware, maybe I will.

I've used AIO on RT-N16 with no problems. DMZ will always forward all ports, port forwarding is useless. Don't use remote management use SSH with a key, much safer. Use v112 also, check the changelog tomato.groove.pl/?page_id=78 lots of bugs fixed since v101. Why even run an older version if you have not tried the latest? Shibby works his ass off doing this, send money anyway. Go try your old dusty Victec, but v112 is fine with the majority of users. No need to flash with dd-wrt, just rename the trx file to bin and upgrade direct from linksys gui.

Thanks for your advice Friedgreen. Advice is something I have always been good at taking. I did say that I was planning to look into these items a bit closer, but with your encouragement I will get more motivated.

Are you saying that DMZ will also forward the default remote management port of 8080 ? I don't recall every trying it. I do still have some buffalo routers with Zarate's 1.28 on them, so I will check on those routers too.

I've got to go kill some rats this afternoon but I'll be back this evening.

So you're saying in order to flash directly from the ASUS GUI I should rename "Tomato-K26USB-1.28.RT-MIPSR2-112-AIO.trx" to "Tomato-K26USB-1.28.RT-MIPSR2-112-AIO.bin" or else it won't flash correctly?

One more thing with the RT-N16 should I use the RT or RT-N version of the 112 build?

in order to flash directly from the ASUS GUI I should rename "Tomato-K26USB-1.28.RT-MIPSR2-112-AIO.trx" to "Tomato-K26USB-1.28.RT-MIPSR2-112-AIO.bin"

I don't know. I use TFTP. You can test the advice you received in about 5 minutes and report your findings for the rest of us, versus posting yet another question and waiting years for an answer.

I believe the options for the version 26 core are USB versus Non-USB. Your router has a USB port so flash accordingly.

Fuck you GeeTek. I'm gonna sit here on my ass and wait for Fried Green to answer my questions. I am a new user and I deserve some clear answers. You have your own problems, so leave me alone. 26 Core ? What the hell does that mean ?
