Router Question

BreakABone · 07-25-2008, 01:26 PM

I know that this was mentioned before by Vamp I think

But what is the model number for the Netgear router which you can use custom firmware Tomatoe for?

My router blows huge amounts of chunks as most people know. So looking for a new one.

I currently have a Belkin.

Taken directly from the Tomato web page:

What will this run on?

* Linksys WRT54G v1-v4, WRT54GS v1-v4, WRT54GL v1.x, WRTSL54GS (no USB support)
* Buffalo WHR-G54S, WHR-HP-G54, WZR-G54, WBR2-G54
* Asus WL500G Premium (no USB support)
* Untested but apparently works without changes: SparkLAN WX-6615GT

Note: Most WRT54G and WRT54GS (not WRT54GL) sold in stores right now are the v5.0+ variety and will not work with Tomato.

EDIT:
Just buy this one, it's the best you're going to find:

They still sell the WRT54GL?

Ohhh...I wonder if it is the same as the one I bought 2 years ago...I should buy another one of those.

Totally awesome router, I'm running the DD-WRT firmware.

I haven't really had a need to upgrade to anything better as it has been handling my network traffic beautifully.

I bought a new linksys awhile back, the difference over my old one is amazing. My old one was also a linksys coincidentally, but this new one I got, not sure the model, is awsome no problems so far.

I bought a new router recently. Unfortunately my internet crapped out around the time I bought it so I dont know if its good or not. Ive heard it doesnt work wirelessly with the 360, which is the main reason I bought it for, so if it doesnt work with it ill be quite annoyed.

Poor poor Combine.
Sitting alone in his room watching the router lights flash.
Wonder if it could work with his 360.
Now if only his internet worked to test it.
