-MD5SUM files are available in each website folder containing firmware. You are strongly advised to run a hash program against the .zip file of the build you downloaded. Then, compare the value in that program with the listed hash value for that build in the MD5SUM file. If the two don't match, your download is corrupt**and you shouldn't flash with that file** or you could damage your router. Try downloading it again and performing the hash check until the hashes match.+MD5SUM files are available in each website folder containing firmware.

 FreshTomato has functions to automate the process of installing/configuring 3G/4G/5G connected USB modems. However, those functions are limited. One limitation is that generally, the FreshTomato build on your router must contain the the Plug and Play VendorID (VID) and DeviceID (PID) of your modem. If it's not included, the modem may not be detected or configured correctly. FreshTomato has functions to automate the process of installing/configuring 3G/4G/5G connected USB modems.
