[rive22]

If you want a comparison of the two.....performance wise....

I'm not sure sure what they are smoking over there on that site but I get 4096 simultaneous connections with DD-WRT Does anybody have a legitimate number for Tomato? I'm curious.

It's well known router benching software called IX Chariot which they use.
Tomato also shows 4096...but I know I'll never get close to approaching even 1/10th of that.

I hear ya, I wonder what the deal is with their results then. Here is my DD-WRT when I run near full capacity for reference to the thread.

I always preferred DD-WRT.

Makes me wonder if there's a difference in how IX Chariot does the benching...if perhaps it's a heavier test or something....

It's possible that DD-WRT doesn't suck anymore. My experience with it a couple years ago was that it did indeed suck. Horribly so. This thread and that article are old.

oh wow I didn't even notice somebody bumped an old thread

And a year and a half later I STILL prefer Tomato.
The wrt54gx routers haven't changed much in the past 1.5 years..actually haven't changed period. So it's still fairly spot on.

I've been running dd-wrt since 2006, and never had any issues with it's performance on my Buffalo router. I've never tried Tomato however.
