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

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!

Just a note to everyone that used or is using older firmware to remain stable...in March of 2017 alone, there were roughly 2000 router attacks. Hackers were using the newest hacks to gain access to routers and to make them work as a group to gather sensitive information and attack hospitals, companies, or government entities. Going to firmware that's roughly a year old or six months old is not doing anyone any favors. This is not a fix. I don't just use my systems to watch netflix. Myself, like many others are reliant on the updated security of routers to maintain the safety of our information as well has client information. Please, please, all of you need to watch the old firmware. You currently make up a large group that can be easily hacked and used for larger attacks. Thank you.
- AtoZJan 04, 2018ApprenticeExactly my sentiments this whole time. This needed to be high priority. Not wait and see who complains. You currently have two choices. Flash router with advanced tomato or buy a new one. You can certainly go backwards, but do that with serious caution.
