Tomato Firmware is a partially free HyperWRT-based, Linux core firmware distribution for a range of Broadcom chipset based wireless routers, most notably the older-model Linksys WRT54G (including the WRT54GL and WRT54GS), Buffalo AirStation, Asus Routers and Netgear's WNR3500L. Among other notable features is the user interface, which makes heavy use of AJAX as well as an SVG-based graphical bandwidth monitor.

Tomato is based on the GPL source code released by Linksys, but includes proprietary binary modules from the chipset manufacturer Broadcom. Portions of the code are licensed under the GNU General Public License, but the source code for the user interface is under a more restrictive license which forbids use without the author's permission.
Tomato is compatible with many Broadcom-based routers, including Asus routers, Buffalo AirStation, and the Linksys WRT54G series. Detailed information is available from the Wikibooks page on Tomato. WRT54G models of version 5 and newer are not compatible. Tomato is generally recommended by Community Forums for Linksys Devices, Ex.. LinksysInfo.org, for users who desire an alternative to DD-WRT, while not offering as much customization as the advanced OpenWrt firmware. Support for the Asus RT-N16, Asus RT-N12, Asus WL-500W, Linksys WRT-160Nv3 and Netgear WNR3500L/v2 has been added via a new firmware modification (based on Linux kernel 2.6). There are several other mods based on this code which offer more features.
