Hello-
After upgrading to CenturyLink gigabit, it seemed a good time to retire my old Asus RT-AC66U and transition to a Netgear R7000 with the latest Tomato build. For the most part everything has been working well, but I'm running into a sticky problem: when I'm connected thru the R7000 and try to bring up the Tomato admin page, it often only loads partially or times out completely. When I connect from the WAN (upstream) side, the page loads quickly and consistently.
Initially I started with AdvancedTomato, where the presentation was different but the overall behavior was the same: the browser would report "Connection lost, trying to reconnect...". But again, from the WAN side there's no trace of a problem.
What I've tried so far:
- Re-flashing from AT to stock Shibby firmware (1.28.0000 -138 K26ARM USB AIO-64K)
- Multiple browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox)
- Multiple systems
- All Wifi connections (2.4, 5ghz) and multiple LAN ports
In each case, the behavior has been the same: quick and responsive UI interactions from the upstream side, and slow/erratic interactions from the downstream side.
Also - actual internet connectivity seems to be fine thru the router, and I don't see similar lags when connecting to any external page - it's only when I try to log into the router itself that this problem surfaces.
What I haven't tried yet:
- Flashing to an earlier Tomato build
- Switching to DD-WRT firmware
- Reverting to stock Netgear firmware
What else could I be missing here? I'm open to any/all suggestions.
Thanks-
Jason
