I had a Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 with Tomato firmware and I really liked it except performance didn't seem very good. Whenever I had uTorrent running, everything would slow to a crawl, even if I wasn't using that much bandwidth.
So I upgraded to a D-Link DIR-655 and it works great, but I really miss the bandwidth monitoring with Tomato. Is there some way I could put the Buffalo in between the D-Link and my modem so it can record all the bandwidth?
Or what would be another solution? I'm open to ideas.
something like this?
Modem > Buffalo router with Tomato and acting as a switch > D-Link DIR-655
that way the DIR-655 would still be doing all the routing and I'd have gigabit, but all WAN traffic would have to pass through the Buffalo
I'm guessing I wouldn't be able to see individual stats for each system, but that would be OK
Whatever I have needs to have gigabit between my 3 computers and it would be nice, but not necessary to be able to see not only total bandwidth, but usage for all 3 PCs, Xbox, PS3, and laptop.
