Re: TP-Link WDR4300 Won't take Gargoyle Firmware

I changed the file names because the router would not accept the file as originally named. The openWRT page for the 4300 suggested name changing.

Re: TP-Link WDR4300 Won't take Gargoyle Firmware

Maybe the problem was that I was trying to go from factory FW straight to 1.81. A step approach works much better.

wdr4300v1_en_3_14_3_up_boot(150518).bin is one of the ones I have tried.

Re: TP-Link WDR4300 Won't take Gargoyle Firmware

I have tried many different file names. If I use the name of the openwrt file it rejects it. If I rename the file, any file, to what should be an acceptable file name, it accepts the file but immediately stops and gives the above error message.
