To flash CFE (bootloader) on an R7000 or DIR-868L, in the past I have switched to another firmware and then after flashing the CFE gone back to Tomato. The reason is that the libraries needed for the flash don't appear to exist in Tomato. I have used "./mtd-write -i new-cfe.bin -d boot" with mtd-write on a flash drive to flash on the R7000. What commands exist in Tomato natively to allow CFE flash?

About feee memory and VLAN settings in FreshTomato
Hi, I'm having linksys wrt54gl v1.1 and wonder over total memory shown in status > overview
With fresh Shibby 2.6 #140 I got total 12.77 mb , ~5.7 mb free
With latest 2.4 Toastman I got total 14.04 mb, ~9 mb free
With fresh Freshtomato 2019.4 mini I got total ~13 mb, ~6 mb free
The specs say it has 16 mb chip, so why the difference in total mem between flavors ?

Help restarting mediasever from script
Hi Guys,
I posted the issue in another, older thread for Advanced Tomato:
I have a similar issue but it's somehow different on FreshTomato 2019.3
I use DLNA server to watch movies from R7000 to LG TV.
Each time I want to see a movie (during the evening, after work, maybe 1 evening apart, or more) I see the DLNA server on my TV but when I open it to select a movie, there is no content at all.
The issue is solved when I click Restart Now in Media Server page.

RT-AC68U upgrade to R7000?
I have an asus rt-ac68u (first rev) 800mhz. Is it worth upgrading to r7000? I use QOS and game alot, girlfriend is watching youtube stuff. Is it worth to the 1000mhz? Is the r7000 stable? Will it improve anything?

Other firmware for R7960P???
I’ve got an R7000 running the xwrt, and love it. I just saw the R7960P or X6S, that will give me more ram and cpus, on sale at Costco. I’m curious if there’s alternate firmware that’s comparable to xwrt (ASUS-Merlin). Or am I better off getting the ASUS equivalent?

FreshTomato freezes - recent builds
Maybe this is not a random reboot as it may look like.
I have 2 iPhones Xs ios 13.1.1 and an iPad IOS 3.1, Netgear R7000 router and the Tomato 2019.2 and the latest beta .220. When a user comes home and connects to the wifi the router is partially killed and needs a power cycle. Strange situation but described on many forums. All LAN to LAN or WAN to LAN operations are good but only wifi, dhcp, vpn and router's GUI are down. When I disable wifi on the iPhone after this crash nothing comes...

New EA6300 and DD-WRT
Hi Folks,
I came across your forum after a link to if on the DD-WRT forum. I am new here but I am not entirely new to 3rd party software on Linksys routers. I had an old
WRT54G that I ran DD-WRT on and it worked like a charm. I recently bought a new EA6300v1 router and I want to load DD-WRT on it. I followed the DD-WRT Wiki which took me to a link below, downloaded the files as per the guide and attempted to flash the router with "linksys_ea6400_ddwrt.bin" via TFTP2. When I hit the...

The EA6300v1 uses the same firmware as EA6400 since the routers are exactly the same.
WARNING:
If anything goes wrong this can brick your router and I will not be held responsible if that happens. You're doing this at your own risk.
For these router a different CFE needs to be flashed otherwise only 32k of NVRAM can be used and that is not enough but for the most basic setup...

This is an old topic... apparently this little piece of software can forward upnp requests to the main router in case of cascade router scenario

Shibby gave it a go long time ago https://tomato.groov.pl/repo/ but it doesn't run on modern FT MIPS devices.
Can anybody with a working compiling env try to compile for MIPS and ARM?
Thanks!

FIRMWARE SRW224G4
Hello good afternoon everyone.
I have been unsuccessfully searching for a firmware from a Linksys / Cisco SRW224G4 appliance for several weeks.
If any of you own this or these Firmware, please send me.
I downloaded a firmware version 1.2.3.ros however it gave decompression error and the update was unsuccessful via serial port.
As I could not download on an official site I believe this is one of the problems I found.
If anyone has a valid link for me to download the file thank you immensely...
