What is the Best Router to work with Obi and GV
QBZappy:
Blacky,
I forgot to mention. If you succeed in flashing the router, leave it alone for about 5-7 minutes. It seems that the upgrade might still be working a few minutes after you flash.
QBZappy:
Blacky,
Heads up. Read this. Others asking for a solution about file extension. You may need to to the following to install Tomato on your router:

Lifted from web site:
In a nutshell:
You cannot flash Tomato right away (DO NOT use Tomato v1.25 no matter what you hear!!!).
1. Download two firmwares:
- the latest DD-WRT mini (I used svn13575): http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/other-downloads?path=others%2Feko%2FV24-K2.. ; make sure the file name contains "WNR3500L.chk".
- the latest Tomato 1.27 (I used tomato127-USB-9044MIPSR2-beta06u.04-Ext-TEST.rar): http://sourceforge.net/projects/tomatousb/files/ ; make sure the file name contains "MIPSR2".
"MIPSR2".
2. Flash the DD-WRT mini.
3. Wait, reboot.
4. Rename the Tomato .trx file to .bin and flash that using the DD-WRT firmware you just flashed.
5. Wait, reboot.
6. When up&running, go to this page: http://192.168.1.1/admin-config.asp and erase all NVRAM data.
I am using "v1.27.9044 MIPSR2-beta06u.04 ND USB Ext" at the moment; so far, so good.

@Backy so how is the Netgear WNR3500 L performing until now. I am looking to buy a new router and i see the Netgear WNR3500 L with tomato (teddybear) firmware installed for $59.99. I also would like to ask what do you guys prefer DD-WRT or tomato firmware.

Veronica,
I've tried both and settled on Tomato for various reasons. The interface is IMO much easier to work with. DD-WRT has alot of bloat (features) which you may never use.
