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,
Can anyone help?
Thank you!
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.
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.
