Re: DIR-859 A2, how to go about flashing this?

Hmmm flashing from web ui doesn't work on A2 1.07 firmware, the web ui straight up rejected it. Should I try emergency flashing for this?

Re: How to flash dir 601 A1 with Gargoyle?

I tried the guide method using the recovery menu and none of the browsers could even upload the file. It just spins infinitely and never actually upload anything. IT'S 2019! It's not like I could just get my hands on a Windows XP machine and use Internet Explorer 6. Eventually someone mentioned they...

On the back of my router, it says the hardware version is A2, but the router's web interface lists the device as A1. So the official A1 firmware is compatible with A2. Maybe the custom firmware can use this too.

How to flash dir 601 A1 with Gargoyle?

I was looking at the download screen and have no idea which file I need to get. How do I go about flashing this router with Gargoyle?

What's the last version that Gargoyle still support with tiny build?

Ah nevermind, A2 isn't said to be supported, A1 is.

The controller chips appear to be the same for both models. Not sure if relevant, but people who flashed ddwrt confirmed their A1 firmware worked on A2.

DIR-859 A2, how to go about flashing this?

The official support for this router has been announced to end in a month, and I am interested in trying Gargoyle. Does gargoyle include the hardware acceleration drivers so it runs smoothly like stock? How do I go about flashing this particular router so I don't brick it? Any one successfully flash...
