Unfortunately, despite the initial success, I have noticed that saved logs seem to be limited to 300 lines. To address this, I got hold of a WNR3500L (v1) and put one of the larger Shibby images on that instead ('Tomato Firmware MIPSR2-124 K26 USB VPN' according to the About page). The WNR2000v2 needs a 'mini' firmware installed which doesn't seem to include CIFS (and there is no USB port on the device) so I couldn't offload the backup. Initially, I installed Shibby on an old WNR2000v2 I had laying around and the logging seemed to provide the information I needed so I am pleased with that.
After some research, I chose Shibby as the variant I needed as it provided the additional backup feature as I needed logs to be saved on a device so that I could look at them later without having to do anything complicated. I have been looking at Tomato for its web usage logs.

For me works great, and shows as 1000M Full port speed.A quick heads up - I am very much a beginner with Tomato (and, to a degree, linux) so apologies if I come across somewhat uneducated compared to some here. I checked this, and then attached to it my primary network cable that connects to the gateway. Two settings below it you will find “Bridge WAN port to primary LAN (br0)”.

In fact it is shown in your picture of the wan settings where you have shown how to disable the wan. I learned that this router supports the use of the wan port under your “bridge-like” configuration example. Such routers allow the wan side to be connected to the larger network, regardless of bridge or nat configuration. And second, all other wifi routers that I have configured in this way supported a simple “bridge” mode to accomplish the task. For one I would prefer to have all five ports available. One thing that troubled me was the loss of the wan port.
I made one small change at the very after all other modifications, and thought you might like to know about it. Exactly what I was looking for as your sample network architecture is very similar to mine. Great write-up on configuring a second router as an access point using Tomato by Shibby. Your access point router is ready to use. It can also be configured manually from the "Basic" - "Static DHCP/ARP/IPT" page. On a Tomato gateway, this can be done by following the "" link in the device list for that IP address. On your gateway, configure the the IP address you used ( 192.168.1.77) to be "reserved" or "static". You can use any port on this router to plug it into the main router and you can use any port on this router (including the WAN port) for other devices. Choose to use your gateway for a disabled WANīecause the WAN port is bridged, all the ports on the router act exactly the same.Now that the DHCP server isn't running, you probably need to configure your computer to use a static address temporarily. It will take a couple minutes for the router to come back up with these new settings. Your new router will now have a new address and you will need to switch to it.

Here are detailed instructions for configuring that router when it is running Tomato firmware by Shibby. Here is a network diagram with the second router highlighted. I spent some time looking into "bridge mode" and "routing tables" before figuring out that the way to accomplish this is to configure the second router as an "access point". It is powerful enough for wired gigabit speeds and has multiple antennas for wifi coverage. I ended up buying a Netgear Nighthawk router.
