Routing can better manage network traffic (1)

Third-party routing software has been released for a while, but we do not have to recommend these products to users who want to add new features to the home network. Our favorite router firmware package is still Tomato, because it provides good compatibility for all brands and models of routers, and its user interface is friendly and powerful. Next I will show you how to upgrade the router firmware to the latest Tomato version, and then configure the Quality of Service (QoS) for network traffic management.

Install Tomato firmware

First, make sure that your Tomato supports your vro. Linksys WRT54G series routers have the best effect, but some Buffalo and Asus routers are also good. You can check Tomato's FAQs to see if your route model and version number match. Download the latest firmware package. Use the gateway address (the default address is 192.168.1.1) to access your route management page and find the firmware update. Select the firmware. binfile that matches the route and start the upgrade process. Tomato automatically adjusts the route settings, so we do not need to reconfigure the Basic settings.
