I've been using Tomato for a while now, first on a WRT54g (5+ years ago?) and now on a 3500L. One of the main things I love is the bandwidth monitoring. I have a 250GB cap and with Netflix, Hulu, Amazon VOD, iTunes and PC games thare are usually over 10GB now, I need to watch what is going on. I also have a couple teenage boys in the house.
I never bothered to use the USB storage support before (WRT54g didn't have it) but was hoping I can use a thumb drive to store the bandwidth data and maybe even website & search logs?
Any ideas? I formatted a USB flash and the router sees it fine but not sure how to connect the dots.
On a seperatenote, what is the advantage to the 3800L over the 3500L? Any big reason to upgrade?
I am not a Tomato man, however here is a how-to using DD-WRT that may be of assistance to you.
