I have never used Tomato. but have used DD-WRT and Sveasoft. If compatible with DD-Wrt I am really looking forward to it!
Categories: News, Rumors and Gossip Tomato WGR614L (Legacy Product)
For all of you using the Tomato firmware...
I'm excited for the WGR614L that NETGEAR is releasing soon. It's a Broadcom based router, so it will work with Tomato. So far, I've used DD-WRT, so it will be nice to try out the other options in detail.
Anyone out there using Tomato? How do you like it?

Yup, it's going to be compatible with DD-WRT. Check out this blog entry for more details. We have hardware and software specs up too!

So, according to the blog, there's no WPA support with the Tomato firmware? That's a bummer.
I'll wait for the WPA support.

Does the Tomato firmware have to be modified or is it direct from the Polarcloud website?

I just installed Tomato Firmware for WGR614L v1.11.041510 on the WGR614L I just brought home today, about 5 minutes after powering it up, and now I get nothing. It seemed to fail to upload; it went through most of the upgrade progress bar, but then it reported that it "timed out" so I tried to reset the thing to reinstall the default firmware. Now I cannot connect by any means. What can I do now?

YOu just bricked your router. Since it is still new, just return it to the place you purchase it and say it is faulty. :) I suggest returning it and get the Linksys WRT54G Linux as it seems to fully support ddwrt, tomato, and openwrt.
I had sold both my netgear WGR614L as I got tired of waiting for full support of third party firmware.

Does anybody know Netgear router with WPA security, which is running under Tomato ?
Thanks in advance

I have been using the Tomato firmware on a Linksys WRT54GS for over a year - maybe two. The router has been rock solid ever since loading Tomato. Lots of options and I personally think it is easy to configure.
I don't use a lot of the features, but I have used the Access Restriction portion extensively to shut down certain computers or devices at certain times of the day or night. Quite often there are three computers and a X-Box 360 running at the same time and the router plugs right along.
I recently saw the new Netgear router, WNR3500L, being released soon (i hope) that will be able to run tomato. I am excited to make the jump to an "N" router....running Tomato.

The wireless mode is dependent on the wireless driver which is by default N for WNR3500L .. so by default it will operate in N mode only ....
But there is no GUI option in Tomato f/w using which u can change the wireless mode ...

I recently bought a WGR614L. At the moment it is running with DD-WRT (eko / svn11100). Is there anyone who got tomato running on that router sucessfully (WLAN + PPPoE)?

Have any of you been able to use N speed (150-300mbit) on the WNR3500L wireless using tomato? An earlier comment suggests that even though its not available in the GUI the router defaults to N speed.
I can get connected using N setting om my wireless card but the transfer speed is equal to G (54Mbit). When switching to original Netgear firmware i get proper N speeds.
Maybe possible to telnet/ssh into the router and edit some config file?
Any ETA on WPA support in Tomato?
