Tomato slow reboot and ip renewal issue

Hi,

   I am very new, and with the help of this forum, I got my router mod-ed. It was very pleasing experience. Thank you so much for that.

   I have belkin share max n300, which is running Tomato Firmware v1.28.7499 M IPSR2Toastman-RT K26 USB Ext.

   I have fiberoptic connection and hence have direct RJ45 plugged into router, and I have configured it in DHCP mode.

   I am having following issues:

   1. Whenever I reboot, it takes almost over a minute to reboot. Just wanted to know if its normal.

   2. At times, if there is some issue with internet connenction, upon re-availability of link, router just fails to renew the IP.

        I have to unplug power and RJ-45 from router, and keep it aside for an hour plus to have it renew IP again.

        I am not sure what kind of timeout is involved and is there way to make this process faster?

 

Thanks you!

Hi,

Hi,

1. Whenever I reboot, it takes almost over a minute to reboot. Just wanted to know if its normal.

* Yes ou you can reduce the time of 3 seconds boot menu "Miscellaneous > Boot Wait Time"

2. At times, if there is some issue with internet connenction, upon re-availability of link, router just fails to renew the IP.

* In the menu "WAN / Internet > Connect Mode = Keep Alive and Check Interval = 10 s"

Bye

Thanks for the response.

Thanks for the response.

1. The Boot wait time, by default, its set to 5 sec, and on my router, it was 5 sec, but even then, as soon as I hit "Reboot", I get pop up saying "click here after 60 sec" and count down beings.

I am sure its Tomato screen and coming from Router low level firmware.

I tried reducing it to 3 sec, but still no avail. Still get popup of "continue after 60 sec".

2. The option "WAN / Internet > Connect Mode = Keep Alive" shows up, if one chooses "PPPoE".
I am using DHCP option, as I have direct rj45 running thru. I have fiber optic connection.

But, if link goes down for some reason, then even if link is restored, tomato fails to establish connection, but I could directly plugin that RJ25 into laptop and access the net, but tomato just fails to register and it takes multiple reboots to happen.

Thanks.
