Hello Experts,

i like to install Tomato by Shibby (use tomato-K26USB-1.28.RT-N5x-MIPSR2-132-AIO-64K.zip) on my Asus RT-N66U.
Think this is a great Firmware, i have also used this on my WRT54G for many years :)

But i have a question.
Does Tomato by Shibby use all three antennas?
If i look at the Advances / Wireless menu i see at Receive Antenna and Transmit Antenna only AUTO / A / B, so i think there is only use two antennas?
Or does Tomato by Shibby also use all three antennes like stock firmware?

THANKS :)
 
I am using 1.28.0000 MIPSR2-132 K26AC USB AIO-64K on my RT-N66U and it is working well. I have been using his firmware and upgrading on a regular basis since buying my N66U several years ago.
I am not sure about the antenna configuration. My wireless works fine for what I need but I don't use 5G, so it is disabled. Just leaving the antenna setting on "Auto" should work fine as koitsu suggested on the linksysinfo forum where you posted a similar request. Shibby has more options in his firmware than you can possibly need or use so one of them being present doesn't mean you need to tweak it. If your wireless performance is a problem, then try the different settings, otherwise, "If it ain't broke..." In most cases, the default settings work well.

If for any reason you aren't satisfied with Shibby, you can easily switch back to the factory firmware or Merlin's firmware or any of the other forks. That is the beauty of open-source firmware.
