Buffalo WHR3-AG54 Router Tomato RAF Firmware 1.25.8515.2 Description

How to install or Upgrade:

1.a) Update from previous Tomato RAF beta (1.1d or 1.1e or 1.1f-g-h-i...).
- Do the update when your device is idle or few Internet traffic is going through, it may extend the Flashing time and give you some warnings (Timeout).
- Stop (Unmount) and unplug any USB device you may have.
- Use the Administration/Upgrade option in your router menu an then upload the file you downloaded.
1.b) Update process from previous Tomato RAF version:
- Do the update when your device is idle or few Internet traffic is going through, it may extend the Upgrade time and give you some warnings (Timeout).
- Stop (Unmount) and unplug any USB device you may have.
- Use the Administration/Upgrade option in your router menu an then upload the file you downloaded.
PLEASE, DO a NVRAM ERASE during the update or using the option in Administration/Configuration options menu. Config the settings from scratch manually, do not used restored configurations.
1.c) Update process from stock firmware:
- In most of cases you need to upgrade a bridge firmware depending on your model router or perform a tftp push. For Linksys E series you can upgrade directly from the stock firmware. For Asus RT-N16 use the bridge firmware file that you can find in my utilities and recover section or use the ASUS recovery tool to update directly the Tomato RAF file for your router.
I use always a tftp command utility setting the Asus router in recovery mode (pressing the reset button while power on until the power led flash once every 1-2 seconds and fixing an static IP in my network card like this:
Computer IP: 192.168.1.5
Network mask: /24
Gateway IP (router): 192.168.1.1
and then in terminal command prompt I type:
Prompt$> tftp 192.168.1.1
> bin
> put (name of the file to upload to the router).trx
and wait until the end upload message appears.
Then wait for 5 minutes, power off your router and power on again. Restore your network card settings, (automatic DHCP). That's all, enter in your router menu using the default IP (192.168.1.1) with your browser.

About Router Firmware:

Before you consider downloading this firmware, go to the system information page of the router and make sure that the currently installed version isn’t either newer or matching this release.

Due to the large variety of router models and different methods for upgrading the device, it is highly recommended that you read and, above all, understand the installation steps before you apply the new firmware, even if you are a power user.

In theory, these steps shouldn’t be much of a hassle for anyone, because manufacturers try to make them as easy as possible, even if they don’t always succeed. Basically, you must upload the new firmware to the router through its administration page and allow it to upgrade.

If you install a new version, you can expect increased security levels, different vulnerability issues to be resolved, improved overall performance and transfer speeds, enhanced compatibility with other devices, added support for newly developed technologies, as well as several other changes.

If you’re looking for certain safety measures, remember that it would be best if you perform the upload using an Ethernet cable rather than a wireless connection, which can be interrupted easily. Also, make sure you don’t power off the router or use its buttons during the installation, if you wish avoid any malfunctions.

If this firmware meets your current needs, get the desired version and apply it to your router unit; if not, check with our website as often as possible so that you don’t miss the update that will improve your device. 

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
