Freshtomato is very out of date. I would highly recommend against it.

Install fresh tomato to this and you’ll get a much better AP with very good firewall and QOS and traffic inspection. Also good SNMP for monitoring

Freshtomato is not out of date. It looks like the last release was december of 2024
Perhaps you are confusing freshtomato with some of it’s predecessors, like tomato or advancedtomato, which are no longer currently maintained.
As for openwrt instead, that doesn’t support broadcom wifi chips, whereas freshtomato does.

What’s the kernel version? Last I heard they were shipping an ancient kernel that was EOL.

What would you suggest instead?
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
OpenWRT?

Thanks for the suggestion

I already have an opnsense router as firewall, so I don’t really need that part. Was just looking to add a WiFi access point.
Haven’t heard of freshtomato before but this seems like a nice option. I’ll look into it, thx for the suggestion!
