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.

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.

Unfortunately it doesn't support my router. Are there other options?

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.

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:

*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.

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?

free software on the router is not as important as on the personal computer

yet I would like to have it, i.e. I will get it - at some point (hopefully
