| [Wireless] Tomato firmware on buffalo - wireless issue
I just flashed from DD-WRT to tomato 1.24 on my Buffalo WHR-HP-G54. everything works perfect except, when I turn on wireless, the red led on the router flashes red. Wireless works, but after a minute or two, something turns off wireless automatically and the red light stops flashing. I can then go back into the router and turn on wireless again - same thing happens - red led flashes for a minute or so and then the router turns off the wireless, and the red light stops flashing. Any ideas? I must be missing a setting. I have WEP enabled with one key. I broadcast NETGEAR as my SSID. |

| This is just an update for anyone reading my original post. I never solved my issue with my wireless using the Tomato firmware. I flashed back to Tomato 1.21 and with no changes, the Diag red light was flashing and the wireless might stay on for 2 minutes or 4 hours. The entire time wireless was on, the red light was flashing. prior to Tomato, I tried DD-WRT. That worked except for XBOX live. I was able to port forward one XBOX successfully for about 6 months, but my other son just got an XBOX 360 and I couldn't Port forward that one without a strict NAT warning on XBOX live which restricts online gaming. That's why I tried Tomato. XBOX live worked perfectly with Tomat, but my wireless didn't.
The funny thing is, this morning I flashed back to Buffalo stock firmware (1.4) and now EVERYTHING works perfectly. Great speed and good wireless coverage, I'm quite pleased and now sticking with BUFFALO firmware! |

| I've heard of that , but I'm not sure what that is. Are you asking if I did that prior to installing the new Buffalo Firmware? I recall seeing that as an issue when going back to Buffalo. At first I couldn't get in, but I hit the reset button for 20 seconds and then I could get in. |

Returns you to default settings, but does not clear nvram.
