How can we increase the network speed without spending more money? Today, we will show you how to apply the new version of the router firmware to collect wireless signals so that you can easily increase your bandwidth. Let's download a new version of the router firmware.
The new version of the router firmware allows the router to access the Internet through two lines
When we access the Internet at home, there is usually only one network cable, and the bandwidth is also limited. If you think that the network speed cannot meet your needs, you often need to apply for a larger bandwidth. However, this requires additional network fees. However, we have noticed that there are more and more users using wireless routers, and wireless signals are everywhere in the air. Some of them are not encrypted, and even encryption can be cracked. If these signals can be used together with the home network, will the Internet bandwidth be wider? In addition, you do not need to spend more money. How can we combine network bandwidth? If your wireless router can use the new firmware version of the "tomato DualWan" router, congratulations, you have found this shortcut.
Preparations for downloading necessary new vro firmware
The firmware supporting the above network bandwidth overlay function is called Tomato DualWan Mod )". You can go to its official website http://www.dualwan.cn to find the latest version and download. The Tomato DualWan Mod we introduced here is actually a modified version of the original Tomato firmware. To use DualWan dual-WAN in the past, you also need to first brush the original tomato firmware, and then install DualWan on the basis of the original firmware. But the new version is in place.
DualWan's practice is to make one of the four LAN ports of the router into a WAN port, through which the WAN port can be connected to another wired network, forming a "Wired + wired" superposition mode. If you do not connect to a wired network, you can also achieve the "1 Wan + 1 WiFi" effect. That is to say, your wired network can overlap with other wireless networks, achieve the overlay effect of "using yourself and others. The actual effect depends on the specific application environment. The maximum value I tested is "1 + 1 equals 1.8. In particular, if there is only one broadband or multiple sub-accounts using "My ehouse", dialing will not achieve the effect of bandwidth superposition. In addition, the effect of multi-task download bandwidth overlay is more obvious.
TIPS: Which routers can enjoy the new firmware version of the tomato DualWan router?
Vrouters such as TP-link, tengda, and Alpha cannot use Tomato DualWan. For more information about the supported list, see http://www.dualwan.cn/start#文. The list mainly involves more than 20 models of Cisco Linksys, moto, Belkin, Dell, Asus, Buffalo, and sakko. You don't need to worry about devices that are not in the list. You only need to be able to use the original Tomato to use this version. Vrouters capable of refreshing the original Tomato include Buffalo WZR/WHR/WVR series, Cisco linksys WRT series, and Asus WL series. In addition, 802.11N wireless routers are not currently fully supported.

If the vro does not support Vlan, you cannot use two wired broadband networks. You can only use Wi-Fi + WAN networks. Therefore, if your vrovlan does not support VLAN, you may need to cooperate with other wireless routers. A Vlan is a virtual LAN used for managing devices in a LAN. To use two wired networks together, your router must support the "virtual LAN" function. How can I determine whether my vro supports Vlan? The method is as follows:
Step 1: After refreshing the tomato, enter the attachment in the Start Menu → command prompt, or run the cmd command to enter the command prompt;
Step 2: Access tomato in the browser, go to System Management → access settings, and confirm that the Telnet service is enabled. Figure 1 ).
Figure 1 confirm to enable the telnet Service
Step 3: Enter telnet 192.168.1.1 in the command prompt. If the IP address is not 192.168.1.1, You need to modify it according to the actual situation. In the Command Prompt window, enter the user name and password for logging on to the new firmware version of The vro。 to log on to the vro.
Step 4: Enter ifconfig vlan1 and press Enter. If you can see vlan1 Link encap: Ethernet, the device supports Vlan. If you see "error fetching interface information: device not found "indicates that the Device does not support Vlan.
