Re: [Trisquel-users] Tomato Router - limit bandwidth
Hello, please don't use proprietary software. For your freedom's sake. For Tomato: Backend: GNU General Public License Frontend: Proprietary Anyway, these are not the forums of the Tomato Project. Please contact the Tomato project questions about Tomato. The Trisquel community guidelines (https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/trisquel-community-guidelines) are pretty clear that our community's resources -- the forum, documentation, etc -- are for free software only. We don't support non-free software here.

CalmStorm: Thanks for the support jxself: Thanks for your reply. I must admit, that I though Tomato is free software. I'll have to check my sources again.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Tomato Router - limit bandwidth
Can you tell which is a libre router software? How about OpenWRT?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Tomato Router - limit bandwidth
LibreCMC is the preferred one at the moment, if I'm not mistaken.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Tomato Router - limit bandwidth
Unfortunately it doesn't support my router. Are there other options?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Tomato Router - limit bandwidth
No. There is, for example, no free software support for 802.11ac. And so: This is the point where you must choose between getting a new router and using free software on it or keeping your existing router and using proprietary software on it.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Tomato Router - limit bandwidth
Check LibreCMC (which is a free - as in freedom - GNU/Linux distribution) From LibreCMC web page: https://librecmc.org/librecmc/home […] entire list of supported hardware for libreCMC v1.3.4 https://librecmc.org/librecmc/downloads/snapshots/v1.3.4/ar71xx/luci/ LibreCMC - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreCMC LibreCMC is listed in lists the GNU/Linux distributions: http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html *I think which if you want to use QoS you will probably need to install additional packages (you can do it from web user interface if you don’t want to use console -Telnet or SSH-). **OpenWRT isn’t free because contains blobs.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Tomato Router - limit bandwidth
This is really as tough camel to swallow (as we say in Denmark). I really thought I had done my research well, but now I'm ashamed. But still, thanks for the enlightenment. OK, so now I have to figure out which of the listed routers to get. As far as I can see there's no comparison table. That means I have to examine each router, one at the time. Any advice on which device is preferable/best?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Tomato Router - limit bandwidth
don't be ashamed, it's just a router
Re: [Trisquel-users] Tomato Router - limit bandwidth
Your right, thanks :-)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Tomato Router - limit bandwidth
free software on the router is not as important as on the personal computer
Re: [Trisquel-users] Tomato Router - limit bandwidth
yet I would like to have it, i.e. I will get it - at some point (hopefully soon)
