Hard Reset not working

Post by hillbilly »

Hi, I have installed 1.11.0 on TP-Link Archer C7 v2. I've forgotten the password.
I tried to reset it to default by holding the WPS/reset button after power off/on. I held the button for nearly 10 seconds, all the leds went off and and came back on flashing, and rebooted. But after reboot, router did not get reset.
I tried the same on the WDR4300 as well, it didn't even reboot/reset it all.

I have been able to reset them in previous release of Gargoyle. Is the function broken in 1.11.0?

Is there another (easy) way to reset the router? Please help.
Thanks.

Do a failsafe reset. This works on every model.

Please be respectful when posting. I do this in my free time on a volunteer basis.
