Does Tomato Firmware support (AC) bands

I'm using Tomato Firmware 1.28.0000 -134 K26ARM USB AIO-64K on a NetGear R7000, and I can't seem to find an AC wifi band coming from the router, only (N) BAND, dos the firmware support AC

I'm having the same issue

I'm having the same issue with 135 also. I noticed the country (Advanced..Wireless) was set to Singapore, changing it to Russa made it show as 1300Mbps Rate Speed (as channel 149) but was unable to see the network with my phone/mbp.  I will try to change countries a few more times, but I only see where I can limit network mode to A or N, and haven't found any ac related options.  Will update if I end up keeping it.. right now Merlin and/or a DD-WRT build is seeming more appealing (grass is always greener, right?) lol.. please let me know if you found the option as I would like to keep using tomato, already set up everything I typically use and running well otherwise.

@Th3gtz - I can't find an

@Th3gtz - I can't find an option, seems the tomato firmware is a bit hit and miss, (not quite ready) last time i used DD-WRT was back in 2015, it would drop all computers off my network, then allow them all back on after, over and over again, random, I've not tried it again since then, however, i might give it ago again, and see if things have changed, for now, i still recommend tomato as the most stable, obviously netgears firmware is the best.. even if it has less settings, it still the most stable

I tried DD-WRT, and it's much

I tried DD-WRT, and it's much better than Tomato firmware now, it's more stable, it's been running for 11 days now, and i'm loving it, how the tables have turned,
