    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 was on V1.0.7.6_1.1.99

I upgraded to V1.0.9.18_1.2.27

 

First halfway thought the upgrade the loading bar turned into a webpage loading error.

red ish lights flashed on the router and i could no longer open up any websites.

I waited for 5-10mins and it continued to flash.

However the blizzard messing service still worked. 

I eventually reset the router afterwards speed tests results were 75ms latency .40Mbps download 1.66Mbps Upload. 

When i removed the router i was able to get my normal speeds. After reading the forums i see it was a bad idea to upgrade.

I reverted back to my previous firmware and speeds returned to normal.
