OpenWRT DD-WRT Tomato Router

All of E-Lins’ industrial 4G routers support OpenWRT, DD-WRT and Tomato for development for M2M (Machine to Machine) and IoT (Internet of Things) applications. With an extensive list of safety and hardening certifications, which is engineered to protect against extreme temperatures, humidity, shocks, vibrations, dust, reverse polarity, and transient voltage, which is widely used in more than twenty industrial fields, such as CCTV security surveillance, vehicle, Telemetry, vending machines, power control, AMR, traffic, oil field, weather forecast, environmental protection, street lamp control, post, bank and many other areas.

4G Routers play a crucial role in ensuring the internet or private connection operates without problem. Whether for SOHO, or projects applications, the key to having a good time on the networks is having a reliable router. Besides the SDK firmware, there are several types of firmware in the market that boost your control over routers.

The most popular ones include DD-WRT, Tomato, and OpenWRT. The names sound technical but once you master how the three operate, names will not be a big deal. The firmware help you have a better understanding of the routers and the networks in general.

OpenWRT Firmware

OpenWRT is a highly extensible GNU/Linux distribution for embedded devices (typically wireless routers). Unlike many other distributions for these routers, OpenWRT is built from the ground up to be a full-featured, easily modifiable operating system for your router. In practice, this means that you can have all the features you need with none of the bloat, powered by a Linux kernel that’s more recent than most other distributions.

This means it must have used the oldest technology in router management, which is the command line. Today, it has graphic user interface reducing the boredom of text in command line technology. If you are considering this type of router firmware, you should be sure that you have the skill to install, navigate and effectively operate it. If not, the other two firmware should be your choice. The advantage of the firmware is its compatibility with many routers.

Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWRT provides a fully writable file system with optional package management. This frees you from the restrictions of the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to use packages to customize an embedded device to suit any application. For developers, OpenWRT provides a framework to build an application without having to create a complete firmware image and distribution around it. For users, this means the freedom of full customization, allowing the use of an embedded device in ways the vendor never envisioned.

DD-WRT Firmware

It is definite that the merits of DD-WRT are more than demerits. It is user-friendly firmware that fit anyone, whether you are a tech expert or not. It is easy to operate and navigate through this firmware, no wonder it is the most used. In addition, it comes with a VPN. Anyone with a business network understands how essential a VPN is in promoting the safety of data. You will also have access to better wireless settings than the basic ones. However, the problem with firmware that anyone can use is it being limited. DD-WRT is not compatible with all routers.

Tomato Firmware

This firmware is also easy to use, just like DD-WRT but the difference is the features and its capabilities. One of the characteristics to appreciate the firmware for is it being real-time in monitoring tasks. You get instant feedback about whatever you are looking for in the router system. It also works with QoS and VPN making it desirable to many users. If you want to upgrade your router, do not consider Tomato firmware. It does not work well in such a situation. Its compatibility with your router could be a problem because Tomato supports only a hunch of routers.
