Different hardware revisions \\ may use radically different electronics. With some models, there may be risks \\ involved. Read all details carefully. \\ \\
 [(hardrev>Sometimes one hardware version/revision of the same model is supported, but others aren't. For example, the "A1" version is supported, but "B2" isn't. Often, this is because different revisions of the same model contain different chipsets. FreshTomato only supports devices using **Broadcom chipsets of ARM or MIPS architecture**. \\ \\ )] [(refdbs>These sites also maintain lists of devices compatible with FreshTomato (lists of Tomato-supported devices at [[https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/List_of_Tomato_firmware_supported_devices|WikiDevi]] and [[https://techinfodepot.shoutwiki.com/wiki/List_of_Tomato_firmware_supported_devices|TechInfoDepot]]). However, their information is sourced here and merely reconstructed in their databases. Thus, contradictions between their data and data on this page indicate the presence of incomplete or incorrect information elsewhere, not here. \\ \\ )] [(chipids>Where <ff serif>//X//</ff> is a digit indicating a series ordinal such as first or second. For any given device, the first wireless chip on a given band would be labelled "WI**1** chip**1**". Another chip on that same band would be "WI**1** chip**2**". A chip on a different band would be labelled "WI**2** chip**1**". For an example, visit the [[https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/ASUS_RT-AC3100|Asus RT-AC3100]] entry on WikiDevi. \\ \\ )] [(wipbuilds>If the effort is successful and has enough testers, this will usually result in the device being added to the compatibility table. The FreshTomato developers welcome the upstreaming of such work.)]
