You heard me right, I said tomatos! Sometime ago I had come across an article talking about 3rd party firmware running on linksys routers, and it planted a seed. Then it started to grow, and last night I seized the opportunity of a free night to start.

So I grabbed the dusty white box that housed my old Linksys WRT54GS (v1.1) router, an extra network cable and sat down at my computer to see what I could do.

I was immediately rewarded with a username and password screen that I couldn’t remember, so after hoping it was something more common and even trying the default ones, nothing. So I pressed the little red button on the back and reset it, which did the trick and allowed me to log in (192.168.1.1 blank/admin).
