I got an out-of-date Netgear R7000 router for free (sans power supply, though I had one in my spares bin) and brought it back to life and into service as a wireless bridge with the FreshTomato firmware.

I followed the instructions, and it works.

I set up a wireless Ethernet bridge with FreshTomato on my old (and free) Netgear R7000 router.

I didn't think it would work, but it did

#FreshTomato

I successfully installed Fresh Tomato on an old Netgear R7000 router that was gifted to me (without a power supply, but I had a suitable brick in the parts boneyard).

Now it's no longer an unsupported hunk of plastic and silicon.

Turns out that we might be in your router too. If you use #FreshTomato 2024.1 or later then you'll likely have a copy of #libid3tag 0.16.3.

Yay! 😄

It appears that I have a spare #Linksys E2500 v1 #router with #firmware source code available that can build a full firmware distribution. I'm going to be experimenting with this.

The router in question runs #FreshTomato currently, but I want to experiment with modifying the stock firmware cause why not :P

I'm actually looking into the same thing with a Linksys EA7500 v3, which is more challenging and appropriate given that its source doesn't seem like it'll produce a full binary, so maybe I think I'd have to patch any changes into the available binary rather than just build my own.

To start, we'll upgrade #libid3tag on these routers in their stock firmware. Then we'll upgrade more things. I'd like to start with userland binaries and libraries and then move gradually deeper into the system stuff. I don't think I'd get to the kernel though.

Serve still hot in cold days. I add some little pieces of 'prosciutto cotto'.

Prosciutto Cotto Vs. Crudo

I recently discovered the absolute joy of being able to remotely wake computers from suspend—to facilitate maintenance on family computers, or to access my own desktop—by connecting to my #FreshTomato & #OpenWRT routers' web interfaces & using their #WakeOnLAN feature. It Just Works™!

Tomato also provides a nice "Wake" button right from the devices list status overview. Convenient!
I'm suggesting this feature in OpenWRT as well, to reduce the amount of clicks needed: https://github.com/openwrt/luci/issues/7298
