Your tomato is a hill of shit, stable? yes, like the new ddwrt ... they keep the source, ok, but who cares? you can delete the iptables entries point to ips that ddwrt left for you as a suprise ... but if you dont know how to use ssh or telnet ... sorry :D LOL

I highly recommend checking it out, if your router is supported, that's the only way to make an informed decision about what's best for you. I've used both, and my routers at home are all running Tomato without a single problem. Tomato firmware is up to version 1.28.

Routers stay up for months on end...until the power fails. Other advantages, access restriction far better than standard linksys. I can't comment on DD-WRT's. UI is very straightforward, which I hear is not the case for DD-WRT. Device flexibility is another fantastic feature for tomato. The same router (in my case, a WRT54GL) can be used as a router, AP, router/AP, ethernet bridge, or even in a wireless mesh configuration using WDS. Why might one consider another firmware? 1) Tomato is limited in the routers it supports...with no N support as far as I know 2) Development seemed to stop last year...with several branches proceeding by other devs...precariously 3) no IPv6 support 4) Other firmwares have far more available features...especially for business use. That said, Tomato runs on the three WRT-54GLs in my house - configured as a router, an AP, and a bridge respectively. I have used tomato for years…and I cannot understate how rock solid it is.

In fact I bought 2 Buffalo's WHR-HP-G54 from them with the vpn-special build to have enough memory headroom. So I really like and support (brainslayer is a genius by the way). I tried Tomato on one of them because I had issues with the Wifi and indeed it's a faster/lighter firmware. It's only a fraction of ddwrt in features, but for a home setup seems more than enough. I hate to say this but tomato is more stable than ddwrt. So my main router connected to dsl modem is working with tomato and I can do all the kinky stuff with my other ddwrt router. But if I had to choose only one firmware , I would choose tomato. It's mot about the ui and all that. It's about QoS with minimum fuss and monitoring and no need for reboot (uptime 167days). I'm not promoting any firmware here. Just sharing an experience. I was using ddwrt for years (since my first wrt54).
