Hi everyone, this is my first post here, so yes, I'm a newbie. Last week for the first time, installed DD-WRT 14929 Big Build (April 2011). It worked well. I then decided to try out Tomato. I found that Toastman's USB firmware had lots of built in functionality and installed that (I did do the 30-30-30 reset). Well, that's when I ran into trouble. It took me a while to find that the new username/password was not "root/password" and that it was "root/admin".
The problem that I'm having is that, it seems that the router is overloaded with something. When it does respond to http request and allows me to login, it takes some time to load. And all I end up seeing is this text:
Tomato
Version 1.28
toast
System
WAN
LAN
There's definitely more in the source code when I look through the HTML, but it never renders it all. I have tried with different browsers.
I also tried logging in via telnet. I can successfully login, but I don't know what to do. Out of frustration, I tried "nvram erase" followed by a "reboot", and that seems to have had no effect on it.
How do I get this thing to work? I don't mind going back to DD-WRT if necessary.
I had the same issue with one laptop. I was looking for a solution for a long time and finally saw a post in this site that helped me resolve it.
If you use windows, go to registry editor:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
Delete (or rename like me) the key Tcp1323Opts and reboot
For me this worked.
Seems that one of the mainstream updates in the RT branch of tomato, related to RFC1323 timestamps is causing the problem...
Hope it works for you too
Thank you Nitram! That little weird regedit trick fixed the problem. I would have never thought of fixing the router issue through regedit. Wow!
