Firmware update: FreshTomato 2021.7

Just a few days after the release of FreshTomato 2021.6, a successor is already ready. FreshTomato is Tomato-derived firmware for various Arm or MIPS based routers from ASUS, D-Link, Huawei, Linksys, Netgear, Tenda and Xiaomi. It can be seen as the continuation of ‘Tomato by Shibby’ since this developer, Michał Rupental, wants to devote his time to other projects. Compared to the original firmware from the manufacturer, the FreshTomato firmware adds several extra options, such as a real-time bandwidth monitor and extensive setting options. The firmware is available for routers with a Arm– or MIPSCPU.
