I have two identical wireless routers that are only mildly useful with the factory firmware. I used them to establish a point-to-point connection where I didn't want to run a wire. But they would be so much more useful if I could get Tomato firmware on them. It appears that it is possible but requires a special dance as described here:

The main problem is that I have to first downgrade the firmware to a version that allows me to put a custom firware on. That required a trip to here:

There I got a 2.0.0.8 version firmware. The router currently has 2.0.1.1 and that won't let me install Tomato.
