 //Q: Does FreshTomato support only old devices or newer ones too?//
-\\ A: FreshTomato supports both old devices and modern ones. See the  page for more details. Keep a close eye on CPU speed, Ethernet port speed and WiFi speed (with 802.11ac currently supporting the fastest WiFi speed).

 Note that unless Broadcom releases the source code to their wireless drivers, it will **not likely be possible to create new releases for 802.11ax or newer WiFi standards**. Broadcom's wireless driver source code is an industry secret.

 //Q: How can I make temporary changes to FreshTomato's settings that aren't saved unless I want them to be?//
-\\ A:  In the //Administration/[[Debugging|Debugging]]//** **menu, enable the "//Avoid commiting to NVRAM//" setting. If you don't want to keep the settings changes, just reboot FreshTomato and settings will return to what they were before you made them. If you later decide you want to save the changes, uncheck the //Avoid performing an NVRAM commit//  button. This make experimentation fun and safe.

 Another option while debugging is to make a backup configuration and then make your changes, if you decide you messed things up, just restore the backed-up configuration. NOTE that configuration backup files do not work across different releases of FreshTomato.

+===== GUI =====
+//Q: The GUI is slow, is this normal?//
+ \\
+No. FreshTomato was specifically built for speed and simplicity. There are some very rare cases where the GUI might become slow/unresponsive. This is almost always related to browser issues.
+  - First, try a different browser.
+  - Rarely, you might have multiple copies of FreshTomato's administration interface certificate stored in the browser. If this happens, simply remove any unwanted FreshTomato certificates stored in your browser (or even all of them) before reconnecting to the web interface.
+If the GUI is completely unresponsive, log in via SSH (preferred) or telnet and verify, in order:
+  - CPU utilization ( e.g. by running ''top'' )
+  - Presence of content in the /www folder (e.g. ''ls -l /www'' )
+  - The httpd deamon is running ( e.g. ''ps | grep [h]ttpd'' )
