Hi, guys which firmware is more stable for R7000? Tomato or DD WRT?
also, how do I go about installing Python on it? I guess I need an optware, which one you guys recommend?

There is another firmware option now for the r7000 if you are not aware. XWRT by XVortex. It is a modified version of RMerlin's firmware for the Asus products. HAs a great interface and is very stable on the r7000. Provides lots of options like Tomato and DD-WRT do. Folks state that they never had as fast performance from their r7000 until they installed this. Even works well for folks with 1gig Internet connection.
I have run Tomato and DD-WRT on my r7000. Never was real happy with them but were better then OEM. XWRT runs much better for me and I will not be installing the others again as things stand now. As long as XVortex keeps providing the RMerlin firmware for the r7000 I will stick with it.
Here is link to info and download site.

Hi Bill,
Thanks for replying. Guess what, I did exactly that. Someone on DD WRT forums suggested me Xvortex and I installed it. I even wrote a noobie guide installation. Here's the link if someone comes looking - http://www.linksysinfo.org/index.php?threads/asuswrt-merlin-on-netgear-r...
However I have still not installed Python nor know how to do it. Will start googling and exploring soon.
cheers!
