The main reason why I did change was to see if Tomato behaved better with my iPhones and iPods but sadly it did not. I have an Airport Extreme that I would like to run on the 5GHz band and then the WNR3500L on the 2.4GHz band. But neither dd-wrt or tomato was able to keep a stable connection for the iPhone/iPod - though Tomato kept the connection longer than dd-wrt did. So I'm back to the 2.4GHz band on my Airport Extreme and that is rock solid on WIFI. I have also switched from dd-wrt to tomato and I like it (on a WNR3500L).

It just keeps chugging along. I know it's only been two days for you, but I guarantee you this firmware is rock solid. It just doesn't die. I have really pushed it to the limits in terms of network activity and it just goes, that's all you got for me. I know. It just keeps chugging along.

I wanted to like DD-WRT, it just seems way "cooler" and I liked the tabs. But Tomato takes the cake. Its faster and more efficient. So far its been running for two days without any hiccups as you put it. Currently using a Netgear WNR3500L and using the latest tomato firmware from myopenrouter.com Yes, I was also a DD-WRTer.

I read up on their website the features and the amazing data that it produces. Its overwhelmingly the best netFlow & sFlow analyzer I have ever seen. The single drawback is the requirement for a Windows PC. I am in the process of considering a VMWare ESX installation to host operating systems. I am still in the considering stage, but if I ever do decide to go ahead and build the system I certainly would love to have scrutinizer running on one of OS.

I am really not planning on an upgrade since everything is working A-Okay and the new firmware has no significant features. Let us know if you do come up with a solution for your issue, thanks.

From what I understand, I think you have turned on https authentication on Tomato and hence its using the https protocol to authenticate. I get the same message when I try logging in and haven't had any issues. Its interesting that the backups are working in Opera and not IE. I am an avid Mac user and haven't had used IE for the longest time. I will give it a shot when I get a chance and get back to you. Hi Mario,

Should I worry about this: (1) This site is using an outdated encryption method which is no longer classified as secure. It cannot sufficiently protect sensitive data. Do you wish to continue? (2) The server is using a short public encryption key, which is not considered to be secure. Got it to work with Opera.
