Testing Tomato firmware on RT-AC68U - WAN speed issue

[ngerasimatos]

I am testing Tomato firmware on my RT-AC68U and the WAN link is showing as 10Mb when connected directly to the modem and 100Mb when connected to my Gb switch. I have no idea why this is the case.

When using factory firmware or Merlin I am showing the correct Gb speed negotiated.

Has anyone seen this before? I looked around on Google and saw a couple of other people having similar problems, but they seemed to be user error and not related to the Tomato firmware itself.

I am using firmware build : Tomato v1.28.0000 -124 K26ARM USB AIO-64K

I am not seeing that issue on mine. It is showing 1Gb Full duplex on the WAN link, and 1Gb to my Cisco Gig Switch. Both are correct.

Did you make sure and do an NVRAM reset after your flashed to tomato? You might try running Tomato Shibby's version of FW. http://tomato.groov.pl/?page_id=164

I did reset the NVRAM before and after the flash.

I just reset it back to the previous firmware version "3.0.0.4.374.43_2" Merlin build to test now.

How can I view the negotiated speed with this firmware? There isn't ethtool or mii-tool in the kernel it seems.

If on Merlin, you should go to the Tools menu, Sysinfo tab and all link speeds should be shown at the bottom of the page (at least they are on John's Merlin fork version).

For the Merlin build its showing Gb connectivity.
