Re: Most reliable and speedy variety of WRT54G for Toomato/MLPPP
Hi Guspaz 
On wikipedia's page about Tomato Firmware, it states that some Buffalo routers based on the same vhipset do run Tomato;
of particular interest was the Gigabit connectivity of the WAN ports.
4) As far as I'm concerned, I may turn off wireless entirely, but still, you think that 200MHz of CPU may not be enough to support both maximum wireless security and MLPPP? Or will limitations appear only when bonding two links (modems), and not MLPPP one link?
Incidently, the WZR-G144NH from Buffalo sports a 300MHz CPU AND gigabit connections. Is the info on wikipedia page false? Or is it the exception router that Tomato/MLPPP wouldn't run on?
5) Same question applies; is Tomato QoS excellent, or "could be better", under high load?
5.2) (Lol on this one) That's sad. 802.11n routers as well as dual-mode routers are becoming the norm; are they more difficult to code for?
7) I knew that, but shutting wireless off isn't just removing the antenas; this could be dangerous to the router, hence my question about a software (or safe hardware) way to do that.
I also saw a lowest price for WRT54GL at $53+tx, approximately, on NCIX; the other router seems impossible to find. 
Oh, I forgot one essential matter: does Tomato sports a rock-solid firewall? Essentially, the DI-604 it is going to replace gave me full satisfaction on this point (once in a while, D-Link...). Well, the systems I'm running are pretty secure, but I worry a bit about my roommates, non-tech-savvy Windows users.
Thanks for the advice! |
