Download Firmware Tomato 1.05

Loenen points us to a new piece of junk, namely Tomato. Like the well-known HyperWRT, Tomato is intended to replace the original firmware of a Linksys WRT54G(S) router, but unlike the original operating software, it has better support for tweakable options, including a different user interface for the admin that is frequently used from ajax, a new bandwidth monitor and improved support for peer-2-peer clients. Since a while from the site version 1.05 as 7zip archive be downloaded containing the firmwares of all supported routers. Also is the source code made available in the same packing format. What exactly Tomato can do and what the changes are in the new 1.05 release is listed below:

Tomato is a small, lean and simple replacement firmware for Linksys’ WRT54G/GL/GS, Buffalo WHR-G54S/WHR-HP-G54 and other Broadcom-based routers. It features a new easy to use GUI, a new bandwidth usage monitor, more advanced QOS and access restrictions, enables new wireless features such as WDS and wireless client modes, raises the limits on maximum connections for P2P, allows you to run your custom scripts or telnet/ssh in and do all sorts of things like re-program the SES/AOSS button, adds wireless site survey to see your wifi neighbors, and more.

Here’s 1.05…

• Removed several updates made during the last few versions which may have caused more problems for some.
• Fixed device list may not show all (again).
• Added weekly bandwidth usage page and reworked the daily and monthly pages. The weekly page uses the the daily data so no additional changes to the data file is needed.
• Time: Added more new DST, adjusted a few TZ, increased field size of servers, blocked servers (kiss-o-death/stratum=0) can be cleared in the GUI (shown only if there is a blocked server).
• Logging: Cron event logging can now be disabled, mark interval can now be adjusted, limit can now be disabled.
• PPTP, RTSP, H.323 NAT helper modules can now be disabled in Advanced/Conntrack incase anyone has problems with these. These were always loaded in previous versions.
• Upgraded Dnsmasq to 2.38.
• Upgraded Dropbear to 0.49.
• Added support for Buffalo WZR-G54.
• Added support for Linksys WRTSL54GS without USB. There is absolutely no USB support built-in or installable! I was asked for this even without USB. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be able to make a full version for this one anytime soon.
• etc.
