TomatoUSB

Got myself a Linksys E3000 router, flashed with Toastman's latest.
Now my dilemma is, what practical thing can I use the USB for ?

Found very little info on this forum about:
…..what to use it for ?
…..how to set it up ?

is there a LIST somewhere or some-kind-of how-to tutorial ?

Any suggestion will be appreciated!
Thanks!

Probably the most useful thing for many, is installing entware. It's a package manager that allow you to install many other programs on your router, most likely not found in your firmware.

I have my own project called tomatoware I use. I use it primarily for using asterisk, a telephony program I use for google voice.

You can hook a USB printer to it, which will allow all computers print to it through your router.

Some people plug in a USB audio jack, and have it play music or other things.

You can plug a hard drive in, and use it as a NAS. For a while I used mine for Usenet (or torrenting). It was also my media server, and I could stream videos to my tv from it.

Lots of fun stuff you can play with.

thanks for your reply
my router is in a darkest corner of house basement, where connected to cable modem
it is far from everything, so I guess I better relocate it to a more accessible place

I have a wifi network printer, so USB printing is a no go
Read about adding an USB audio adapter and connect it to a stereo system to listen internet radio stations…..the question is there how easy to change station or maybe just leave it on the same all time?
—Already have two VOIP ATAs for my phone lines, always wanted to give a try to ASTERISK, perhaps this will be the time

Thanks again for your input!
