Hello all,
I've had Gargoyle 1.5.0 installed for a couple of months on my 1043ND. I just wanted it to use VLANs. It appears that my wifi performance is not even half as good as on the stock firmware, at least for me.
I really just want to go back to stock, but I'm afraid I will break it. How can I? Does this still work: http://www.gargoyle-router.com/wiki/dok ... l_firmware ?
I would really just like to get some confirmation. If i connect it to my laptop via ethernet, and I flash that file, I'll be fine without any trouble?
Thanks.

works for me
Re: Revert back to stock firmware
Anyhow stock FW hangs pretty often, so I'm pretty sure you'll return back to any wrt firmware back.
About wifi performance, I also had some issue with older releases, check your syslog for wifi errors and try to search over openwrt forum. It's a matter of changing some value in wireless config file. That should solve your problem

Re: Revert back to stock firmware
You can revert back with this method as far as I know... It worked for me.
1. From Windows, you'll need pscp.exe and putty.exe. Both can be downloaded here:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgta ... nload.html
2. Download the appropriate firmware for your router. (Example: http://www.tp-link.com/en/support/downl ... n=V1#tbl_j )
3. Copy pscp.exe, putty.exe, and the firmware all to one folder for simplicity.
4. Open up a command prompt, CD to the directory with those files previously listed, then type:
pscp -scp <firmware-filename.bin> root@192.168.1.1:/tmp
5. Enter the router's admin password when prompted. The file should then copy the firmware file to the /tmp directory on your router.
6. Run putty.exe, then enter in your router's IP and connect via SSH.
7. Type in: cd /tmp
8. Type in: mtd -r write <firmware-filename.bin> firmware
9. The router will load the new firmware and reboot... Good Luck!
This is how I went back to the stock firmware on my TP-Link TL-WR841N when I had OpenWRT.
