Excellent router Tomato

I had a Linksys WRT54GL that I've used for years, first with stock firmware, then with DD-WRT and finally with Tomato. After 5+ years of uninterrupted Wi-Fi, it became unreliable (not to mention it only supports 802.11b/g) and I started looking for another router that would offer the same flawless reliability and also more capabilities. I seriously considered getting a dual-band router, but after researching the technology I own, I decided that only one device would benefit from the 5GHz band…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • So-so

Overall a great router, but deducted a star for firmware update issues.

Update from 03/11/2013: So far, so good! Flawless performance with a 1.0 Gbps LAN connection. The file transfer speed on our home network has greatly improved compared to the previous network configuration. However, I made a few changes that resulted in maximum speeds on our N-Series wireless devices. I've changed the following in the wireless menu in your router's UI: - I've changed the wireless mode to N Only (leave it to Auto mode if you only have B/G devices). - Bandwidth I changed to only…

Pros
  • Price
Cons

Also, here in…

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Security

Works fine with stock or Tomato firmware

I've been using this router for a while with stock firmware which has worked as expected. The range covered my entire house with 3 beds, 2 baths and some outdoor time, didn't get too hot thanks to great top ventilation (don't stack) and SpeedTest showed it to work as fast or faster than any other router I've tried i have ever tried Then I installed the Tomato firmware designed for this router model and I was even happier. This firmware is created by the community and unlocks additional features

Pros
  • Large selection
