    Connecting A Linksys E2500 To An Existing Modem/Router - Questions Please

    I have now gotten a USB to ethernet adapter and was able to connect the E2500 to my laptop. It lives! It took a few minutes for it to get assigned the 192.168.1.1 IP address by my laptop (it was back to 192.168.1.1 because I had done a reset on it) and then I was able to get back to the Tomato...

    Connecting A Linksys E2500 To An Existing Modem/Router - Questions Please

    Thank you, I had already tried something similar yesterday with Tftp. I had an older version of the Tftp program and tried flashing it with the stock firmware. The result I got was "Unable to get response from the server". I just tried it again using Tftp2 and the older Tomato firmware version...

    Connecting A Linksys E2500 To An Existing Modem/Router - Questions Please

    Thank you both for your good feedback and for the sake of argument I will assume that the IP on his router is set to 192.168.1.1 and that his IP range is something like 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.51. I am sure it was setup either by the factory or his ISP and never changed to anything custom...

    Connecting A Linksys E2500 To An Existing Modem/Router - Questions Please

    As I just upgraded my router this week, I was thinking of giving my old Linksys E2500 (running Advanced Tomato) to my brother since his existing wireless router doesn’t seem to provide a very stable wireless signal in his apartment. There might be signal interference issues because his router...

    I am running an Asus Z-97A / USB 3.1 motherboard (https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/Z97AUSB_31/specifications/) together with an older OCZ 256GB SATA 3 SSD that is only for purposes of running my OS (Windows 10) and has read and write speeds of roughly 450-500 MB/S.
