Which firmware?

I've been using Tomato for years on a WRT54GL. I've just ordered a brand new WNR3500L to replace it as the interface speeds are starting to show their age.

I'd also like the functionality to create a VPN at home, I'm under the impression that some of the builds include this?

Which build should I go for? Does this one include OpenVPN or similar?

Or is it this one...

(I don't really need transmission etc.)

Also would restoring my existing router settings (standard 1.28 release of Tomato) onto the new device work? I don't really want to reconfigure everything...

You ought to reconfigure, because strange things can happen if you do not. However, this makes it very easy:

Thank you.

Thank you.

Router arrived, flashed with DD-WRT and then Tomato. Reconfigured everything and it seems to be running nicely. I've noticed some fancy new features already, nice work!

There's now a version for K24

There's now a version for K24 MIPSR1 routers, such as the WRT54GL.

Look for v 7621.1
