TomatoUSB

Ok so I am new to forums but have been using tomato for past few months and I love it I really do I was using dd-wrt and never tried anything else. Anyway so I install tomato on all my routers now and the one that seems to be a bug because I have tried this on about three refurb e2500 and whenever I go higher than v112 I get reboots and crashes every so often about one every 24 hours. Everything just stops and I can't access it. A reboot fixes it but I just wanted to know am I crazy or are other having this. Another thing also is when I look at tomatoAnon very very rarely do I see higher version running for more than 24hours. Like maybe there are some but maybe they are using them as wireless bridges. Anyway I did plenty hard reset everything I could think of and same result. I tried every single version except 113 for some reason on two different e2500. I know I should probably check the logs but I gave up on it for now

Name E2500

Hey Fatal, I have the same issue with the e2500, I think the problem is the e2500 is buggy and drops the internet quite often but not the connection (internet is filled with complaints). I can tell you this has happened with the latest two shibby releases. you can try disabling the 5.0 channel, it may help, it didn't for me. I think I will go back to the v112 as you say that seems to work.

I'm confirming daily random reboots [or connection dropouts] with Shibby v128 on Linksys E2500 router (only tried V1 model). The reboots are random, and occur any time in a 12-24 hour time frame.

So far, it has been a daily occurrence since flashing the 128 build.

I have not been able to pinpoint the culprit - I'm using the E2500 as a lightweight access point with dual band enabled and some port forwarding set up for applications.

The reboots are 100% random, and tend to occur 1-2 times per day (in a 24 hour period)…

I'm also ensuring that there is adequate airflow and ventilation around the router and the power supply. I am seeing plenty of threads about the E2500 V1 (and possibly the V2) models having rebooting issues with almost all Tomato firmware releases (modded versions in particular).

I have not yet found a stable build… they all seem to cause random reboots on the router, whereas the stock Linksys firmware that it ships with is extremely stable and solid (it just doesn't have any good features like Tomato does, and is much slower…)
