So I am now on my second day with fresh tomato and It has been stable (so far). A couple of things. I am a software novice so this was not simple. Flashing the software was not difficult but I blew out the username of my router in the process. No combination of username and password would work when prompted by the router (and I tried them all... trust me). After the firmware flash, I had two networks (one for 2.4 and one for 5.0) but both were unsecured an open. Upon attempt to secure them I realized what I did. I have acces to some pretty sharp software engineers so one helped me backdoor the router. I found that you could only backdoor using ssh. After finding that the firmware flash essentially cleared the username (the password was in fact admin), I was able to reset the username and password and then set up the security and rename my networks. A bit of pain but if this restores the router I am satisfied. I also learned a lot in the process.
