See the Feature matrix page for details on which features are included in each build. Make sure to carefully choose a FreshTomato build appropriate for your hardware model. See bricking section below. When choosing a build, you need to make note of:.
Some of these may contain different chipsets than others. Otherwise, you could run out of Flash RAM and your hardware could be bricked. For help choosing a build that's appropriate for your hardware, see the Hardware compatibility wiki page. If you're still unsure after you've read both those pages, we recommend you ask for advice on the Tomato forum. It's called bricking because the hardware would then only be useful as a brick, but not as a router. In this condition, It often can't be fixed without electronics or soldering knowledge.
Never interrupt a firmware flash until it's completely finished. Doing any of these can result in a partial update. Tomato can sometimes retain some NVRAM variables settings even after you flash a new firmware image to your router.
Doing so ensures that all variables from the existing firmware are erased before flashing begins. You will likely waste time with strange symptoms and regret your choice. There are several methods used to flash firmware on modern routers. The method you use depends on several things. This program is used to flash firmware, and to recover from failed firmware flashes.
The program finds the router's IP address and allows you to flash firmware to the router, after you've put the router into Rescue Mode. Rescue Mode is a mode of operation into which a router is put, that allows it to do nothing but receive a firmware update. For Asus models built in and older, the Asus Firmware Restoration utility will work fine.
However, Firmware Restoration will not allow you to flash third-party firmware like FreshTomato on most Asus models built in and later. The reasons for this are indirectly related to a decision made by the US FCC Federal Communications Commission about changes to wireless features in third-party firmware.
If you try to flash using this method on newer hardware, the program will simply give you an error message saying it's not possible. Download the correct image file for your router. Assuming you've read all the above, see the FAQ wiki page for information on the file naming convention for builds. Also see the Hardware Compatibility page on the wiki for help choosing the most appropriate build image for your hardware. It's strongly recommended that you also download the latest version of stock firmware for your hardware.
That way, in case flashing FreshTomato fails, you can always re-flash the stock firmware. Remember, after a failed flash, you might not have a working router. If that happens, you might be unable to download stock firmware on your normal network. This will reset all settings to defaults and will ensure the device has enough memory available to properly perform the flashing process. This method doesn't always work perfectly. If you have trouble, you can try the hardware-only method.
For many current Asus model routers, there are two buttons in addition to the power button you'll need to get familiar with. One is the Reset button and the other is the WPS button. To be sure of the correct procedure for your model, check the user manual, or the instructions on the manufacturer's website. Step 4. For this reason, assigning your PC a static IP is recommended.
