    You should review this and maybe revert back to this recommended version of FW:

    I've looked here again after a while and I can't belive the problem is still not solved....

    Since I've flashed Tomato a few weeks ago I've forgotten that I have a router- it's working perfectly getting dust because i do not touch it at all :-)...

     

    Parental control works perfectly, 0 drops, strong signal - save your time and do a similar thing!

    I'm trying to find the threads on AT.  Do we have verification that it is stable over several days or longer?

    Do we know for a fact that advanced tomato fixes all the problems and gives us back the speed that's expected?  I don't know the answer to this and I am very new to advanced tomato.  Thanks in advance for your response.

      Has the hot fix worked for anyone? I see 1 post it did not help.

      AtoZMy speeds are fine.  I have cable internet and I'm getting 115mbps Download and 5.88 Mbps Upload.  My cable internet max is 100 Mbps down and 6 Mbps Up so I'm not lacking speed.  I honestly believe there has been firmware in the past that has caused all these issues that may not be fixable.  The only difference between my router and everyone elses is that I have never had any other firmware on it other than .18 and I'm not experiencing these issues.  The one I had replaced was only 7 months old so the firmware causing this issue had to have been one released since then.  I just hope their firmware didn't permenantly damage everyones routers...

        My speeds are about ~27 down and ~6 up which is consistent with the plan I have with my ISP.

      Warning to all... Advanced Tomato has not, and likely will not fix the KRACK vulnerability in WPA2 anytime soon. If you care about the security of your network, it's not a good long term solution.
