Re: Recommend a new router for Gargoyle?

I don't think they will ever be selectable from the GUI, but you can swap fq_codel in Gargoyles qos implementation with a few lines of code (there's an example in /etc/unit.d/qos_gargoyle) I don't think cake will be done. ah. Interesting. Thanks. Does this file from pbix still work in the current 1...

Re: Recommend a new router for Gargoyle?

Cake wasn't around when Gargoyles QOS was implemented (I think) The two implementations are quite different and let you achieve different things. Gargoyle is very good at limiting individual flows, whereas cake is better at just sharing a link fairly. Would it be possible to add cake or fq_codel as...

Re: Recommend a new router for Gargoyle?

That is did anything change Yes, the internet got faster and the hardware is having problem keeping up. I was referring to Landis' post where he mentions why he thinks QoS in Gargoyle causes so much more of a performance hit than Cake does in Openwrt. He offered up a possible fix, lengthening the q...

Re: Recommend a new router for Gargoyle?

Now, why is Gargoyle's QoS having such an impact on performance? My theory is that the maximum lengths of the queues is not enough. There's some maths behind it which i haven't understood yet (and i've reached out to someone who knows, or at least used to), but the theoretical maximum through a sin...

Re: Gargoyle on Archer C7 v2?

Odd you had to go through all that but glad it worked. I hope the 5ghz works better but I never had problems with that on the TP-link firmware either.

Re: Gargoyle on Archer C7 v2?

I was able to download it but it's a bit slow and you need to be signed in to the forums to see the archived downloads. The direct link is: https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/download.php?id=33649 The file name is ArcherC7v2_en_3_14_3_up(150427).rar It's a .bin file inside it. I figured you'd be more c...

Re: Gargoyle on Archer C7 v2?

TP-link started locking their firmware a while ago to prevent people from loading 3rd party firmware on it. That's why you get that error 18005. I figured you had already solved that issue since you said you tried dd-wrt. I believe you can get around it by other methods like installing openwrt but I...

Re: Gargoyle on Archer C7 v2?

Definitely stick with 1.10 or above. The 1.10 is the last stable version. Like I said, it worked great for me on the Archer C7 v2 until I upgraded my cable speed. I tried DD-wrt on the C7 too but preferred Gargoyle. The 5ghz wifi is more picky no matter which firmware you use. Experiment with the ch...

Re: Gargoyle on Archer C7 v2?

What do you think about the wifi performance? If I give a chance for Gargoyle, will I be able to revert back to stock? I have a C7 v2 and wifi seemed fine while I used it though I hate wifi in general. :D "fredzombie" has a page with older TP-link firmware that works well to revert. It st...
