Installing DD-WRT over Tomato?

I've done a Google search and haven't really found a real definitive/informative guide on doing so. My first thought was to uninstall the tomato firmware, but a search for that also led to disappointing results.

I'm just wondering what the process is exactly? Do I simply upgrade the firmware via the Tomato menu - or is there more to it than that?

Thanks.

You can go directly from Tomato to DD-WRT. I've done it many times without issue. As you mentioned just perform the upgrade from the Tomato web GUI.

I read issues concerning admin passwords? Of course that was going from dd-wrt to Tomato.

That is correct and can be resolved by simply resetting the router. The problem is that when switching from DD-WRT the old credentials are not erased from memory creating a mismatch in credentials with the newly installed firmware.

I've successfully setup WoL on DD-WRT so don't hesitate to ask if you need help.

I came to DD-WRT from Tomato (and had originally gone to Tomato from Linksys standard), and I've been running DD-WRT for two years now. When I replace (or possibly augment) my WRT54GS with a WRT310N, DD-WRT will go on that as well (yes, there's a DD-WRT firmware release for the WRT3xx N router series).

Dream firmware advance: IPv6 /48 routing *and* DDNS in a consumer/SMB-grade wireless router. DD-WRT comes the closest so far by supporting IPv6 tunnels and DDNS; however, I'd like to be able to auto-route the /48s via DDNS, which no consumer-grade (and very few SMB-grade) wireless routers will do.

Yeah I'm giving dd-wrt a try from your advice in my other thread regarding WOL. The fact that my computer is running off a bridge connected to an access point complicates things though (at least I think).

I'm going through the WOL tutorial right now, and it looks like I may have to change the settings on both access point and bridge - especially since it seems to have been the only way I got static DHCP to work properly.
