NETGEAR and Tomato Firmware

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?

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.

I have been using the Tomato

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

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 ...

Have any of you been able to

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?
