Hi, I'm new here and I just
Hi, I'm new here and I just got WNDR3400 V1H2 (v1 refurbished) router. I never had a chance to knew Shibby's Tomato, that's why I need your help
 
I wanted to upgrade my router to use it as Bittorent and DLNA server, which was not possible in original FW, so I installed Tomato from http://www.linksysinfo.org/index.php?threads/netgear-wndr3400-v1-beta-to... 1st post (wchich was bad move, because there exist a newer one at http://tomato.groov.pl/download/K26RT-N/build5x-128-EN/Netgear%20WNDR-se...). The firmware works very well, it's obviously better than the original, but the Bittorent option doesn't work (I read there is only GUI for it) and there is no DLNA support, so I have few questions:
 
1a. Can I flash for example tomato-K26USB-1.28.RT-MIPSR2-128-BT.trx firmware to my router, and will it work? Is there some problems with that firmware in this router for example 5GHz don't work or some stability issues? Does it fit in router's flash?
1b. Does this firmware includes working Bittorent client and DLNA server? What is the diffrence between this and for example tomato-K26USB-1.28.RT-MIPSR2-28-BTgui-VPN.trx firmware? I already checked that it shoul be (I think) MIPSR2 version, not the MIPSRV1, am I correct? I read, that version tomato-WNDR3400-K26USB-NVRAM64K-1.28.RT-N5x-MIPSR2-128-MiniIPv6.chk doesn't have this things, because it's a mini version
1c. How should I do this? Can I upgrade via GUI (i'm afraid to experiment, my router is still in foil ;) )? There is information, that I shouldn't do that, but maybe is possible if I'm upgradind Tomato to newer Tomato? Can I do upgrade via commands, not GUI that will pass the thing when I brick the router :) I'm a little bit afraid.
2. If firmware 101 is only one I can get, how to install missing packets? I found, that I have to install ipkg, but this is very complicated for me. Also I'm not sure if it could show DLNA server in GUI (I think, that it should work with Bittorent, as there is a GUI option for it)
3. Is there a possibility to do things I want using DDWRT firmware?
4. How could I do this using as little Linux interface as possible ;)
 
Yes, I tried looking this in Google :)
 
TIA for all the help!
