Tomato is a partially free HyperWRT-based, Linux core firmware distribution for a range of Broadcom chipset based wireless routers, most notably the older-model Linksys WRT54G (including the WRT54GL and WRT54GS), Buffalo AirStation, Asus Routers and Netgear's WNR3500L. Among other notable features is the user interface, which makes heavy use of Ajax as well as an SVG-based graphical bandwidth monitor.

History

Tomato was originally released by Jonathan Zarate in 2008, building on the code of HyperWRT. Since the last release from the original developer in June 2010, continued development happens through several community-maintained "mods". A notable early fork, called TomatoUSB, itself ceased development in November 2010, but has since then been forked by other developers.[4]

Features

  • Interactive Ajax based GUI using SVG and CSS-based color schemes (allowing GUI look and feel changes).
  • CLI access (BusyBox) via Telnet or SSH (using Dropbear).
  • DHCP server (with static allocation of IP addresses).
  • DNS forwarder (using Dnsmasq).
  • Netfilter/iptables with customizable settings, IPP2P and l7-filter.
  • Wake-on-LAN.
  • Advanced QoS: 10 unique QoS classes defined, real-time graphs display prioritized traffic with traffic class details.
  • Client bandwidth control via QoS classes.
  • Bandwidth graphing/statistics.
  • Wireless modes:
    • Access point (AP).
    • Wireless client station (STA).
    • Wireless Ethernet (WET) bridge.
    • Wireless distribution system (WDS also known as wireless bridging).
    • Simultaneous AP and WDS (also known as wireless repeating).
  • Dynamic DNS service with ezUpdate and services extended for more providers.
  • Syslog viewable through the GUI (also downloadable).
  • SES button control.
  • JFFS2.
  • CIFS client.
  • Wireless LAN Adjustment of radio transmit power, antenna selection, and 14 wireless channels.
  • 'Boot wait' protection (increase the time slot for uploading firmware via the boot loader).
  • Advanced port forwarding, redirection, and triggering with UPnP and NAT-PMP.
  • Advanced user access restrictions.
  • Init, shutdown, firewall, and WAN Up scripts.
  • Uptime, load average, and free memory status.
  • Minimal reboots - Very few configuration changes require a reboot.
  • Wireless survey page to view other networks in your neighborhood.
  • More comprehensive dashboard than stock firmware: displays signal strengths of wireless client devices, reveals UPnP mappings.
  • Configuration persistence during a firmware upgrade.

License

Tomato is based on the GPL source code released by Linksys, but includes proprietary binary modules from the chipset manufacturer Broadcom. Portions of the code are licensed under the GNU General Public License, but the source code for the user interface is under a more restrictive license, which forbids use without the author's permission.

Compatible routers

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

Main article: wikibooks:Tomato Firmware

Tomato is compatible with many Broadcom-based routers, including Asus routers, Buffalo AirStation, and the Linksys WRT54G series. Detailed information is available from the Wikibooks page on Tomato. WRT54G models of version 5 and newer are not compatible. Community Forums generally recommend Tomato for Linksys Devices, Ex.. LinksysInfo.org, for users who desire an alternative to DD-WRT, while not offering as much customization as the advanced OpenWrt firmware. Support for the Asus RT-N16, Asus RT-N12, Asus WL-500W, Linksys WRT-160Nv3, Cisco Valet M10 and Netgear WNR3500L/v2 has been added via a new firmware modification (based on Linux kernel 2.6). There are several other mods based on this code that offer more features.
