The purpose of this work is to be able to understand the powerful tomato firmware. Today, I will pick out the five most distinctive features of the tomato firmware and introduce them to you.
Function 1: Modify parameters and never restart
I believe that many readers who have used other brands or third-party firmware drivers such as DD-WRT have had the experience of modifying various functional parameters of the routing device. After modifying the parameters in the past, the device will be prompted to restart, we have to enable the routing device to enable the modified parameters to take effect. However, this feature may cause disconnection or disconnection on the internet, seriously affecting normal network usage.
However, this problem changes as the route firmware is refreshed to the TOMATO driver. After we modify any parameters on the TOMATO firmware management interface, the system will not restart. Because TOMATO exists various functions independently as a service, to make the parameters take effect, you only need to restart the corresponding service, and the router itself will not start.
Step 1: use the default Management address and account name and password to go to the TOMATO management interface.
Step 2: set parameters as needed. For example, if we modify the wireless Parameters and change the SSID information to wireless, click the SAVE button in the small right corner to SAVE the Settings saved. some services are being restarted....
Step 3: Wait a moment and then the new wireless parameters will take effect. During this period, the vro itself has not restarted and the network has not been disconnected. The real purpose of modifying parameters is not to restart.
