Upgrade worked flawlessly!
Only thing is I have 100mbit and with your firmware I'm only getting about half that.
Have I missed some setting that could affect this?
Also, which CPU clock speed should I choose?
May 30 2011 - 1.28.7475.2 for latest series of router with Kernel 26 MIPSR2
June 2 2011 - 1.28.7821 for WRT series routers etc - Kernel 26 MIPSR1
The search for a stable build for everyone!
Analyzing forum posts and mail, and taking on board people's comments - I went back to use build 7466 as a base, since a great many people seem to think that version was very stable. I have added most of the best mods and bugfixes since that date and some important toolchain and build changes from Fedor's later posts. Plus a few usb and ipv6 tweaks that look useful and the E4200 mac address bugfix. I have tried to keep BCM fast NAT and CTF out of it, as these two "features" seemed to be responsible for a fair number of problems.
My builds also contain ftpput and ftpget.
That brings us to Toastman-RT version 1.28.7475.2 and the MIPSR1 version, 1.28.7821 - let's see if this satisfies a few more people. I am hoping this will be the most stable version for some time.
A few changes:
CPU info method changed to Victek "sysinfo". CPU chipset, clock frequency, and amount of NVRAM - now added to Overview page.
I have made another attempt to set the CPU frequency which should keep people happy.
There is now a reasonable selection of clock frequencies 188-266 MHz for the earlier routers, and 400-532MHz for the more recent and faster routers. Two parameters are set, for the WRT etc. (legacy) machines they represent CPU clock and backplane frequency. For the later series routers such as the RT-N16 etc. they represent CPU clock and memory clock frequency. The third (backplane) frequency isn't set because it isn't necessary. This therefore makes it possible to use just the two parameters for all routers.
The "default" setting sets no clock frequency in nvram ("") so the router's default is not changed.
There are several builds including Victek's Captive Portal based on NoCat Splash (splashd). If you use this feature, please don't worry about the startup log containing many restarts until splashd finally begins. It is because it is checking other processes.
Have fun with these new builds!

Is there any chance of getting IPv6 6to4 support in Tomato, like the stock firmware for the Netgear WNR3500L has?
It already has it.

You should set 480 - but you will probably find 532 works fine too.
Throughput is dependant on many things, speeds of routers are commonly quoted with no encryption, no QOS etc.

Toastman i'm a bit confused! I currently run tomato-K26USB-1.28.7466MIPSR2-Toastman-Ext on my Netgear 3500L, but i want to upgrade to a version with VPN. So i went to your 4shared space to check for a newer firmware, but it confused me. Which 1.28.7475.5 VPN version should i use for my Netgear?
I see that all build have 'RT' in it, does that mean they can't be used for my Netgear router? I also wondered what the difference is between the NVRAM60K and the ones without? Again, which one is good for my 3500L? I'm in doubt about the two firmwares below, could you point me to the one i need?
tomato-K26USB-1.28.7475.5MIPSR2-Toastman-RT-VPN.trx
tomato-K26USB-NVRAM60K-1.28.7475.5MIPSR2-Toastman-RT-VPN.trx
Thanks in advance! :)
You want to use one of the normal builds like:
Tomato-K26USB-128.7475MIPSR2-Toastman-RT-Ext.trx
The NVRAM60K has to do with block sizes in the NVRAM. Some versions are specific to a router type, thus the E4200 prefix.
The items at the end (Ext, Lite, VPN, and VPN-NoCat designate subbuilds. You can look at http://tomatousb.org/doc:build-features-cross-reference to get summary of the different build features.
Personnally, I use Tomato-K26USB-128.7475MIPSR2-Toastman-RT-VPN-NoCat.trx on my own 3500L. It has essentially everything rolled into the firmware. If you think you might not use the VPN or the portal capture feature, the normal -Ext version runs just fine on your router.

I currently run a Ext firmware, but i would like to upgrade to a VPN build but got confused at the amount of builds there are. Thanks again! :)
