I have discovered a bug in TomatoRAF 9010 when attempting to set up a guest wireless on both the 2 and 5 gHz channel.
I have installed v1.28.9010 MIPSR2-RAF-NCC-VLAN K26 USB VPN-NOCAT on an e4200 and when I attempt to set up Virtual Wireless on both eth1(wl0) and eth2(wl1), I get issues in the interface that will not allow me to access eth2(wl1), wl1.1, wl1.2 and wl1.3 tabs. Further more, when I go to the basic network settings, the wireless eth2 information is not displayed.
Anyone else can confirm this issue?
Although Tomato Shibby might be the most popular of the Tomato mods, TomatoRAF comes in at a very close second. So I decided to give it a go and got some very interesting results.
TomatoRAF build 9010 is certainly faster than Tomato Shibby 83V, you notice it right off the bat. It also adds the ability to create guest wireless SSID’s, but you will loose the BT feature and some other smaller features in the firmware (ie, graphed results).
I am going to stick with TomatoRAF for now and see how I go, but note that Tomato Shibby is still great firmware.

As a side note, Shibby has released 85V with Transmission v2.50, you can get it from here: http://tomato.groov.pl/index.php?dir=K26RT-N%2Fbuild5x-085V-EN%2FRT-N66U
As good as the Cisco E4200 Firmware is, it is lacking in some networking features that I wished it had, such as more than one DDNS entry, better control over wireless clients and bandwidth control.
I know that every man and his dog talks about DD-WRT but everytime I use it, I get the feeling that it is jam packed with features that don’t really fit with the home network but more like a mini ISP.
Any rate, I discovered Tomato Shibby and man am I impressed. It has all the performance and bandwidth limiting of TomatoUSB but with extra features such as a DLNA server (I don’t use this but others might), Transmission BT server/cleint, FTP server and a CIFS server. It has great support for the ability to run OpenDNS and DynDNS simultaneously and some really great reporting/logging features.
The latest build (83) has a fork [K26RT-N] that supports the 5gHz transmitter and so I really encourage you all to give it a try. By far, the best firmware I have installed. Make sure you get the AIO variant (All In One) as it has the functions built in.
NOTE: set the wireless transmitter power to 71mw for best results.
