			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a tricking one indeed because timing is everything. However, don’t be worried if you don’t get it on the first time because that is just the way things are with this method of flashing on this router. This is well worth it with all of the features you will have available to you.<br />
<strong><em>Disclaimer: try this at your own risk; I am not responsible for your actions.</em></strong><br />
<em>Warning: Reverting back to the original firmware may not be an option once you install Tomato, make sure this suits your needs.</em><br />
<em>Vista: will require the installation of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cmd" target="_blank">tftp</a> client under Add/Remove-Windows Features</em><br />
The procedures below are based on the presumption that you will be upgrading your Buffalo router with the original firmware.</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato" target="_blank">Download Tomato</a> and extract it. Copy and paste the <strong>tomato.trx</strong> file on the root of your C: drive.</li>
<li>Perform a hard reset by unplugging the power adapter from the router, then press and hold the <strong>reset</strong> button and plug in the power adapter. Continue to hold the reset button for one minute.</li>
<li>Insert a network cable from your <span style="text-decoration: underline;">computer&#8217;s <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet" target="_blank">Ethernet</a></span> port  to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">LAN port #1</span> on the router. <em>This will not work wirelessly</em>.</li>
<li>On your computer go to the <strong>Start</strong> menu and select on <strong>Control Panel</strong>, then <strong>Network Connections</strong>, then right click on your Ethernet card and click on <strong>Properties</strong>. On the Local Area Connection Properties window click on <strong>Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)</strong> then click on <strong>Properties</strong> and change your settings as follows:<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">IP Address</span>: 192.168.11.2<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Subnet Mask</span>: 255.255.255.0<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Gateway</span>: 192.168.11.1<br />
Click <strong>OK</strong>.</li>
<li>Unplug the power adapter to your router.</li>
<li>Open up the command prompt by clicking on your <strong>Start</strong> menu and select <strong>Run</strong> then type in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cmd" target="_blank"><strong>CMD</strong></a> and press the <strong>Enter</strong> key (if you don&#8217;t see Run, press your Windows key +  R key).</li>
<li>Type in C: and press the Enter key then type in CD\and press the Enter key. You should now see &#8220;<span style="text-decoration: underline;">C:\&gt;</span>&#8220;.</li>
<li>Type in &#8220;<strong>tftp -i 192.168.11.1 put tomato.trx</strong>&#8221; (Do Not press the Enter key as yet).</li>
<li>Plug in the power adapter to your router.</li>
<li>Quickly press the <strong>Enter</strong> key when you see that your computer has established a connection to the router.</li>
<li>If You receive a timeout error unplug and plug in the power adapter and repeat steps 8 through 10. If you received successful message wait for at least 2 minutes for the router to be successfully flashed.</li>
<li>Preform another hard reset (see step #2).</li>
<li>The router&#8217;s default address is 192.168.1.1. Change your network settings back to &#8220;Obtain Automatically&#8221; in the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) properties window. You may access the router by typing in the IP address via web browser.<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Username</span>: root<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Password</span>: admin</li>
</ol>
<p>Enjoy!</p>
