Have you ever arrived at work on a Monday morning, only to discover that your project files are still on your personal computer --at home 30 minutes away? Do you have "curious" children, or employees that waste valuable company time on social media websites? Wouldn't it be nice to have some control? Your home network offers an incredible amount of potential that can make your lifestyle far more convenient. You can do much more than just "access the Internet". And with just a little bit of knowledge, you'll discover a new level of control and freedom that will make you wonder how you ever survived without it.
The "Tomato Router Guide" offers an empowering introduction to computer networking. You'll learn how to do some really cool stuff, things block websites, monitor activity, control bandwidth, and boost your Wi-Fi range --upstairs or across the street. You'll even learn how to tap into your home network (and download those project files you forgot) from anywhere in the world!
What makes this book unique is that the focal point was designed around a free (and very popular) firmware called "Tomato". Tomato firmware is basically software for your router. It enhances your consumer-rated wireless router with commercial-grade features and functionality. And these powerful features make it possible to do all sorts of cool things that you normally cannot do with a typical home router.
So what's on the inside? This is not some "10 page report" thrown together by a college student. This is a high-quality 290+ page guide that is extremely well formatted. From the moment you open it, you'll notice that quality was our top priority. It comes with a clickable Table-of-Contents, acronym appendix, and a troubleshooting area. There are a lot of images and screenshots. If you are a visual learner, you'll appreciate the level of detail that went into this book.
Tomato router firmware is awesome. But tutorials can be challenging to find. Our mission was to decrease your learning curve, increase comprehension, and put you on the fast-track to having a killer home network --even if you are a complete newbie and have little or no networking experience at all.
