I have an Asus RT-N12D1, and I installed the tomato firmware by shibby (tomato-K26-1.28.RT-N5x-MIPSR2-112-Max.trx
and tomato-K26-1.28.RT-N5x-MIPSR2-114-Max.trx
). However I found that the connection can be really unstable. Whenever I stream youtube videos on TV via Chromecast ( I tried both the cast from iPad and Win7, both can reproduce the problem), the router will frequently restart itself, leading to a loss of connection and subsequent reconnection.
I want to get this problem fixed, but I don't know how. Is there anyway where I can troubleshoot the problem, or is there anyway I can collect enough log information so that I can then present to the original developer for a fix ( maybe)?
Edit: There is only me in the house and I don't share line with anyone else, so it is unlikely that it is due to congested line.
1I know dd-wrt is supported, but I have done the configuration in tomato with the help from outside and I am not sure I know how to setup dd-wrt on my own. – Graviton – 2013-11-15T08:49:02.563
My best advice in this case is to ask for help on the website of tomato firmware by shibby. I don't understand the language, so can't help. – harrymc – 2013-11-15T11:10:06.007
BTW, I note that there is newer Tomato version by shibby. You should try the latest version before asking for help.
– harrymc – 2013-11-15T13:52:20.557Yes, I did the the latest version, same results. And no, asking help on tomato website doesn't help. I didn't got any response at all. – Graviton – 2013-11-18T07:24:46.267
The tomato firmware by shibby is not well-known enough, so you are unlikely to get answers except from someone who had the same problem on the same firmware and fixed it. This is why it might be useful to move to a better-supported firmware. – harrymc – 2013-11-18T08:21:57.317
Do you have other tomato versions that are well-known enough? – Graviton – 2013-11-18T09:10:24.183
There is the Tomato official site, but it isn't sure that it supports your modem. I found an article that might be useful. Among other points, it says that the original Asus firmware may actually have better performance than Tomato, and also implies that shibby has cut out many options. Why don't you first try the Asus latest firmware and utility from September 2013?

The official Tomato doesn't support the Asus version that I have. – Graviton – 2013-11-18T10:17:07.487
That's what I thought. Why do you need Tomato - wasn't the Asus firmware acceptable? – harrymc – 2013-11-18T12:33:32.640
Asus default firmware doesn't support the all important iptables configuration needed by chromecast.
– Graviton – 2013-11-18T12:50:32.870Some people manage without this iptables change, for example. See also google help.
