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 am running 1.0.9.12. I never installed 1.0.9.18 but for several days experienced the same problems described in the thread. After numerous router reboots, I learned (thanks to another's earlier post) to "apply" in the wireless page settings. This would bring back the 2.4 access. I having been monitoring the thread, but for several days now the problem has stopped happening for me. I am going to keep monitoring the situation, but for now, I plan to leave things alone. No upgrade or downgrade. It certainly is odd behavior and makes me wonder if the log posts from others suggesting some sort of attack may have been the root cause. Thanks to everyone who has been sharing their experiences, suggestions, and knowledge.
