Whats the Best Custom Firmware for Asus RT-N66U ???

Trik3r · 04-11-2017, 08:54 PM

I am in-between firmware's from stock,DD-wrt & Tomato ... i am currently running Tomato 1.28 by shibby and while things are going okay so far with this firmware ... i still wonder ? like eg: SPI firewall feature in DD-wrt, I dont see it in Tomato am wondering if its embedded in the firmware and ON by default and along with another concern is performance ... I just dont want there to be any bottle-necking ...

I would like everyone to share there opinion on this, Which one best suits you (Stock,DD-wrt,OPENwrt Or Tomato) and WHY ???

Both of those are really good, but last I checked tomato had more features.

okay!!! cool ... yeah!!! bout are good but which is better as in performance wise ... thats what am trying to narrow down ... i am currently using Tomato 1.28 by shibby and it seems to be pretty cool so far, i like the fact that its well detailed pertaining to (Showing you whats going on your network) i like the NAS support too ... its pretty fast comparing to my dd-wrt experience ... So far tomato have everything i want but not sure about the security aspect of it, cause theres a few basic option in the firewall menu which is not that effective but no worries i have the router behind a PFsense Firewall ...

I've heard that tomato is a bit faster, but I can't confirm this.

Okay!!! cool ... i was talking to someone over on FlashRouters an despite the big community DD-Wrt have, they recommended Tomato me ... cause its more stable and the UI is more user friendly lol!!! like i care about looks, Am just interest in performance ... they suppose to email me some more in-depth information ...

One firmware you have not said is Asuswrt-Merlin.
