 **Set "no-cache" in httpd header - **A very common issue is that is cached browser content can create errors/display issues in the web interface. Usually, refreshing the page, via CTRL+F5, fixes this problem by forcing a cache flush. However, setting this parameter is an alternative solution. This instructs the browser not to perform any caching while on FreshTomato web interface pages. Both methods are particularly useful after firmware upgrades.
