I got stuck. The reboot thing did the trick for me. Thanks for this post.

Given DD-WRT’s non-compliance with the GNU GPL, I decided to move my Linksys routers to Tomato. This guide made the process easy. Thank you.

Hey Rsarmiento,

Great! I’m glad Tomato fixed your problems. The interface is a drastic change. I love the bandwidth graphs. I don’t need QOS but Tomato’s QOS is supposed to better than DD-WRTs and also produce some cool graphsy.

Thanks for the update.

Hey Matt,

I’ve tried disabling UPNP with the just the port forwarding..and just dmz.. also a combination of both…
Just wanted to update you on my progress.. soo I’ve successfully switched from DD-WRT to Tomato…and wow. it solved all my problems… I know for a fact that the PSN network has many flaws and many random disconnects but I haven’t gotten a single disconnect since switching to Tomato and port forwarding all the ps3 ports.
I haven’t setup QoS yet..but I will after I read more about it and how to set it up on Tomato… It does take a little time to get use to their interface coming from DD-WRT
Anyway Tomato is solid!

Thank you for the guide again!!! <3Google haha

Rsarmiento, you’re more than welcome. I don’t know if Tomato will solve your issues or not but it’s worth a try. I really like DD-WRT, maybe even more than Tomato, but DD-WRT doesn’t sound like it’s working for you.

I would advice you to keep UPNP disabled and just use the port forwarding method. It accomplishes the same goal in a more secure way.

Good luck with the QOS
