Tomato firmware is great compared to DD-WRT, it has loopback and is compatible with playing Netflix on the iphone.
Also it store the Bandwidth stats on RAM and saves it to Samba share or usb flash drive. Where as DD-WRT writes this to the NVRAM which will wear out the NVRAM chip.
Also setting up IPv6 is also easier and it will update your ip address with Hurricane Electric Free IPv6 Tunnel Broker which is a plus when you have a dynamic ip address with your ISP.
Here’s another plus for laptop users, you can assign an ip address to two mac addresses for your wireless card and ethernet card so that you will have the same ip address for both interfaces. This allows you to transfer files off of your NAS wireless and then connect your ethernet cable to continue the file transfer at a faster speed and back again without dropping your connections to your network.
