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!

Remember, Google is your friend.
Thnx for the link.
I know google is my friend, but because a lot of people in this thread are talking about tomato etc. its only logical to ask here..
- Open wrt and tomato are router firmware written by the public. As such there is no real direct support. They only support specific chipsets.
Open wrt supports more devices and is more stable on a wider variety of devices including those outside netgear. However it's a lot more complicated than Tomato.
Tomato is considered the lightweight easier to use version of open wrt. It is less universally compatible however and you can still hang yourself.
They really aren't for basic computer users. You can't use Netgear genie on them. If you don't understand what the settings are on the webpage router version, tomato is not for you. And I'm not sure what kind of support you will get if you brick your device with tomato (which is a small possibility if you set up the firmware wrong)
Best of luck.
