Gargoyle Forum

Ah right, thanks. My A7 was completely cabbaged when I started learning what TFTP was, so I guess the full version was the right one to choose - it worked anyway. So if you have a Gargoyle image installed (say 1.14) and want to revert to an older one (e.g. 1.13) would you use the full, or can you &q...

Digging my way around the delights of my bricked router learning new stuff, I came across something I don't understand. There are factory.bin files, and sysupgrade.bin files, and I understand the general principle that you use the first one for initial installation and the second one for later upgra...

Many hours later, victory is mine!! 8-) For the benefit of folks having similar problems, I found that most/all of the online solutions only had some of the info, some places elsewhere had wrong info, and I pieced things together from a few sources and made a bit of it up as I went along, so here is...

Sorry, missed your reply. I did manage to get it working again but after fiddling with DNS settings (to try and solve what I think was an external ISP problem) I've since managed to brick it completely anyway - overnight (with no config changes), first the 2.4G network vanished and I could only acce...

Thanks, I hadn't really thought about the fact that the OpenWRT support was patchy and that it was a prerequisite to Gargoyle. My price range - up to $120 or so, and throughput around what the A7/C7 I current use brings (1750Mbps) is more than enough for current and likely future needs. I'll have an...

I've just bricked one of my Archer A7 V5 routers so I now don't have a spare. Upgraded it to 1.14, been fiddling with DNS settings to try and work around an external issue, suddenly the 2.4G wifi network vanished overnight, and settings for 5G wifi vanished in the user interface (though I could stil...

Thanks. I managed to get it into failsafe, confusingly it is not the reset button that does this (that does nothing) but the WPS button. That and a manual IP address got me in with PuTTY and then just did a reset to default settings and started with a clean sheet. I discovered that the setting to li...

Help please........ I have had an Archer A7 with Gargoyle installed for a while, connecting with PPPoE to the ISP's equipment. It's a stable installation and has worked well. Recently our ISP changed the wireless tech used to deliver internet access to my remote holiday home and it now uses a system...

Hmm, thanks, that's interesting.... I just assumed it was on by default or something. I live out in the sticks so there aren't really any other possibilities for the network origin apart from the Archer, unless one of the wireless devices on the network is for some reason broadcasting it - I guess m...

This is a bit of an obscure question and it's really just me being obsessively tidy rather than it being important... My main router is an Archer C7 v2 running 1.10.0. I sometimes see a "hidden network" being broadcast and as mine is the only router or modem anywhere within range, I starte...
