Don't know the difference between Class I and Class II routers? See THIS
Key: - Class I (Conexant) routers
- Class II (AR7RD/AR7WRD) routers
- Windows compatible
- Linux compatible
A simple tool which will create a report based on the router and network settings. This can be useful for novices and for people in a hurry, who want to provide information on the forum. Previous version downloads: v1.2.4 = 683, v1.3.2 = 7
When running the tool, make sure no other modem/router is connected (to the PC and/or phone-line) apart from the one you want to test.
Version 1.3.1
Will require permission from your firewall to access the Internet (it will simply ping Google
to test the Internet connection). You must enter your router's password so that the tool can access the router's log
and you may need to enter your router's IP address also. There is no reason to be concerned about the security of your password.
This version of the diagnostic tool has a few tweaks to work more effectively with
the timestamp that is applied to the log in the RouterTech.Org firmware(s). It also now has a new graphical
interface and improved error checking.
Version 1.3.3 (September 2007)
Includes the ability to identify the ISP hardware (now using a file making it easier to update) for Class II routers and it will retain the router class user selection.
This utility has been created to help router owners find out if their routers can be upgraded to the RouterTech firmwares (and if so, which firmware file to pick). Please read the instructions included in the zip file before using it. Previous version downloads: v1.0.8 = 224, v1.1.0 = 390, v1.1.1 = 1163, v1.1.3 = 48, v1.1.4 = 3208, v1.1.5 = 470, v1.1.6 = 240, v1.1.7 = 683, v1.1.8 = 1591, v1.2.0 = 3256, v1.2.1 = 1119, v1.2.4 = 581, v1.2.5 = 222, v1.2.6 = 906, v1.2.7 = 1634, v1.2.8 = 2182, v1.2.9 = 2611, v1.3.0 = 998, v1.3.1 = 1385, v1.3.2 = 709, v1.3.3 = 6281, v1.3.4 = 6877, v1.3.5 = 4599, v1.3.7 = 3100, v1.3.8 = 3552, v1.3.9 = 5946, v1.4.0 = 7824
v1.4.1 (2.97 firmware), 226KB, MD5 Checksum = da20521a8d44b1a9c333324459f734b4
v1.4.1 (2.96 firmware), 226KB, MD5 Checksum = fe5641e22c73875b16433a7d635dfc42
v1.4.1 (2.95 firmware), 226KB, MD5 Checksum = b4fec17aa914135a3c51b4d18b2fe5ac
Anti-virus warnings etc
Due to the nature of the RUC (it needs to be able to access the router, act as a server etc), you may occasionally see false positives in your anti-virus/anti-spyware/anti-malware/security software. But to be on the safe side (to be sure you have downloaded the correct file), you can confirm the file size and MD5 checksum are correct (see above). The RUC is now regularly submitted to the AVG Whitelisting Service, so hopefully the number of false positives should be minimal.
Current version as of 10th January 2011 - update for v2.95 firmware.
Current version as of 8th May 2011 - includes v2.96 firmware list.
Current version as of 25th June 2012 - includes v2.97 firmware list.
This utility can be used to 'fix' router config files. Perhaps you want to keep your settings but at the same time take advantage of the latest RouterTech fixes when you upgrade to a RouterTech firmware? Or perhaps you just want to apply the RouterTech fixes without upgrading the firmware completely? Now you can! Please read the instructions that come with the utility BEFORE you run it
This version has the fixes stored in files - the idea being that in future, when new fixes are available (often coinciding with new firmware releases), only new fix files need to be released. This means that users can apply new fixes without having to download a new version of the Fixer
This tool will try to ping the router at regular intervals to see if the router drops the connection when under heavy load etc.
Enter the router's IP address, a suitable interval (in seconds), select the relevant network adaptor and click on 'Start'. This should help monitor the router's status and traffic levels. The 'fix location' can point to something like the location of a batch file
This little utility can be used to reboot a (compatible) router if and when the router looses it's Internet connection. The utility will periodically try to ping the predefined address (Google by default) and if it fails a certain number of times (which can be user-defined) then it will attempt a manual router reboot. The utility can be minimised to the system tray and be left running in the background on the PC. Previous version downloads: v1.2.0 = 482, v1.4.0 = 150
Will require permission from your firewall to access the Internet (it will simply ping Google
to test the Internet connection). You must enter your router's password so that the tool can reboot the router and
you may need to enter your router's IP address also. There is no reason to be concerned about the security of your password.
This version works with Class II routers and can operate in a simplified 'shrunken' mode.
A telnet scripting utility to automate telnet sessions. This utility can make it much easier to perform multiple commands on a regular basis etc. Previous version downloads: v1.0.6 = 423, v1.0.8 = 9
Supports full pathnames for input and output files.
Includes 'hidden' switch and will now continue moving through the script even if there is no WAIT after a SEND command.
Does not require the Winsock.OCX dependency file.
This software is designed to be run by new owners who wish to get their routers connected to the Internet with the minimum of hassle. Ideally it should be used with RouterTech firmwares - it cannot be guaranteed to work with other firmwares. If you have already set up your router and are just feeling curious, you may get better results if you reset your router before trying the software
A quick user guide is also available for this software - see the guide section
This simple utility monitors whether a certain IP address is pingable (e.g. this should be an IP of some website like www.google.com or similar) and also records the router's Internet connection stats (upstream/downstream speeds, SNR etc) at regular intervals. If the IP address does not respond to pings (logged as DOWN) then the utility will keep trying to ping the IP address until it responds (logged as UP). Two outputs are produced: 1) a CSV file with the full stats, 2) a text file with more condensed stats.
Current version as of 21st May 2007.
This utility is an extension to the Router Stats Keeper utility and it is able to do everything the Router Stats Keeper can do and more. Extra features include extended ping test, trace route and signal strength vs frequency graph.

The main purpose of the Wireless Environment Builder (as the name suggests) is to rebuild the wireless environment of Class II routers. This may be useful if this has become corrupted and the wireless part of your Class II router has stopped working. Please see the readme for more information. For general router recovery it would be better to have a backup of the original environment (which can be obtained with the Router Upgrade Checker).
For routers using the TNETW1350A wifi chip only
Released 18 October 2007
Released 13 June 2008 - includes updated TNETW ID search
This simple tool will help rebuild a trashed router environment by calculating the correct partition sizes.
Choose a firmware file, a Flash ROM memory size, a bootloader type, click on the calculate button and the MTD values will be produced. You can even drag and drop a firmware file on to the MTD Calculator to select it! See the readme for full instructions.
Includes optional MTD5 for PSPBoot routers. See the readme for full instructions.
This tool can be used to:
* Repair/restore your router's environment.
* Un-brick your router.
* Upgrade your router's firmware.
* Backup your router's environment and config.
Please note that since this the first public release of this software, there may be bugs etc that have not been discovered yet and there are no guarantees that all features will work on all systems/routers.
Includes many small changes/improvements and the ability to execute scripts at the bootloader.
This version is able to run PCTool scripts which are in Unix file format.
