Re: Tomato/MLPPP released (evade throttle or bond two DSL lines)
actual transmission appears to be fast... just alot more 'waiting for etc' when browsing the internet or router config pages.
Worth noting that I noticed it (or believed I was noticing it depending on your POV) already before I had entered my DSL login info or had set for single link mlpppoe in the router config... |

Can anybody access their modem while running this new firmware? I can access my speedtouch with the regular Tomato firmware but not this one.
Other than that I haven't noticed any other issues, thanks for doing this. |

Could it be because my LAN subnet is 192.168.11.0/24? |

2 edits | Yeah works for me... haven't tried it since switching to this firmware. My modem's IP is 192.168.1.254... hence that's the subnet I'm trying to access... tailor the command to your needs. It's placement in wanup means it only get run when the connection is established however...wanup is just where I chose to put it and may not be the best place for the command at all. try enabling telnet/ssh and issuing the command directly to test
Followup: Dooesn't work for me anymore either but I don't fully understand the syntax or what's changed in this release/mod of tomato -- I just pulled the command from a post on linksysinfo |

Waterloo, ON | I'm running the same script only using 10.0.0.1/24 to access the modem at 10.0.0.138. It worked fine before but not with the new firmware. I tried enabling it though telnet as well but still doesn't work. |

any chance i can still use my dlink gamefuel router with this setup? just use the wrt for mlppp and not as a router? or does this firmware have built in qos that's equal to gamefuel?
also, do both profiles need to be identical? |

I have the same question... can we just use the WRT for MLPPP and then plug in another router? |

The Tomato firmware already has quite good QoS capabilities.
You may be able to use DMZ to daisy-chain an additional router. |

I have to use the DIR-655 because I have a giant metal air duct in the middle of my condo that creates a dead space on my couch... the DIR-655 is the only router that seems to ignore that dead space. |

Followup: Restored my previous firmware (tomato 1.19 speedmod build 8500)& configuration and browsing is back up to speed, modem access is restored but torrents are of course much slower (shrug).
That said, the following needs to be reinforced:

I presently use DD-WRT v24 rc7. I have a radio server (I'm a node on globaltuners) and use QOS for the server. Does this firmware do the same job than dd-wrt for QOS and port forwarding?

My LAN setup | 
2nd Router setup |
Set the WAN interface of the 2nd router to get its address from DHCP. I use a different subnet 192.168.2.x for the 2nd router. PC on the 2nd router can access the web interface of the first router.
Not sure if you are really reducing the CPU load by much though unless you have the 2nd router doing wireless access. Tomato is doing PPPoE segmentation/reassembly and NAT already.
BTW I cannot talk to my ST516 even after adding the 2 lines into the WAN UP.  |

I got my 2 modems in the WRT54GL, and my WRVS4400N WAN port, hooked up to one of its LAN ports.
Disabled the wireless & the firewall on the WRT54GL, my WRVS4400N is going to handle all the wireless, DHCP, firewall etc.
So, its more or less just a dialing switch  my WRVS4400N just thinks the WRT54GL is the internet.
Works awesome.
Just gotta replace my crappy 2nd modem (Booo GNet!)
I've been doing a lot of testing tonite, everything works great, but I've confirmed that the Gnet is a dud. It was able to speedtest @ 3712kbit. Still, its very poor performance compared to my Speedstream 5360, which clocks in @ 4335kbit, on both dryloops..
Biggest thing was, I found that the connection kept randomly dropping and after paying close attention to everything, I noticed that if I was multi-linking, once the download speed hits 900k/sec or higher, the Gnet de-syncs and the DSL light starts flashing. ..unfortunately killing the entire connection with it.
That said, I hooked up the Gnet separately, so it was my primary modem, as well as my only modem. When speeds hit 300k or higher.. same thing, DSL light started flashing.. it couldn't handle it.
Anyone know where to get a nice cheap Speedstream 5360 in Toronto? |

Thank you!
Successfully updated my WRT54G V2 from Tomato 1.19 to the mlppp release. Many thanks for all of your hard work guys!
Torrents are back to normal! 
Everything worked flawlessly. I have done some initial voip test calls, and so far things have still been ok. Asterisk is showing increasing latency from before, but call quality is still quite good.
I will follow up with more voip testing over the next few days. |

The WR850G v2 is very similar to the WRT54G v2 in specifications, so theoretically it should run Tomato just fine (as it evidently does since you're running it).
It would still be useful for you to try the MLPPP build on it, as the major change is that we completely replaced the PPP client app with a new one (pppoecd -> pppd) and backported the 2.4 kernel's PPP code (2.4.35 -> 2.4.20).
As such, even running our firmware with MLPPP turned off is very different from regular tomato. |
