My LAN ports on my router like to die if I saturate them them too much (speed, connections, etc.). In an effort to fix it, I switched from Tomato to DD-WRT. It didn't help, so I finally decided to switch back to Tomato (I prefer it). However after flashing back, I am unable to log in. Apparently I was supposed to telnet in, run a command, and jot down the password before flashing but I didn't. I don't care about preserving any settings, the password, etc. -- I just want to be able to log into it. I've held down the reset button for over 30 seconds but it doesn't seem to do anything. root/admin and admin/admin aren't working. :(

Any ideas?
 
Nevermind I got it, heh. Held the reset button as I plugged in the power and continued to hold the reset button for at least 30 seconds. That totally wiped the thing's settings. :)
 
Out of curiosity what router are you using?
 
You need to upgrade man. :p

I have a Linksys WRT310N running DD-WRT with QoS and it handles games and bittorrent simultaneously just fine.

The WRT54GL has served me well and I wasn't aware that any of the new Linksys modems could run Tomato/DD-WRT. :eek:

Having an N wireless router would be nice...
 
I would suggest getting the Netgear WNDR3700 and comes highly recommend from Small Netbuilder, http://zuzu.pk/1a4. It also support DD-WRT, http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Netgear_WNDR3700, but I am using it stock as currently it is sitting behind another router that running DD-WRT and doing all the real routing. I found it improved my gigbit performance vs a crappy Asus gigbit switch I had. Also it support 5Ghz-N which many seem to leave out and that can help out if you got a lot of other people doing 2.4Ghz traffic.

I already have nice Netgear gigabit switch -- I don't really need a gigabit router. I also prefer Tomato to DD-WRT.
 
I just switched from DD-WRT to Tomato on my old WRT54GS (32mb ram/8mb ram). I like the bandwidth monitoring. My old old WRT54G was terrible, even with DD-WRT.
