Gargoyle Forum

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...

For the forum record, on my TP-Link Archer A7 AC1750 I successfully used the following files to flash Gargoyle 1.13: Initial flash to OpenWRT from the TP-Link GUI openwrt-22.03.2-ath79-generic-tplink_archer-a7-v5-squashfs-factory.bin Second flash to Gargoyle from the OpenWRT GUI gargoyle_1.13.0-ath7...

This is an old thread but I've just put 1.13 on my A7. See my other thread in the forum. I'm no expert but I found I had to flash the router with OpenWRT first and then use the sysupgrade version of the Gargoyle firmware, it wouldn't let me go directly to Gargoyle from the TP-Link firmware.

Success! After a lot of mucking about which I couldn't now describe, and reading a few threads on here, I managed to get it into recovery mode (fast blinking power light), connect to it using Putty and a manually set IP address through the recovery mode, log in and initiate a reset to initial settin...

If it's relevant (and it may not be) when you switch the router on it does the following: Power light comes on solid for a short time Power light starts blinking (2-3 blinks per second) 2.4GHZ wifi light comes on (power still blinking) Both lights start blinking Goes through a sequence of power blin...

Yes, I was trying to save time and didn't see why it wouldn't work, given that it's the settings and not the firmware I assumed it would transfer. Hey ho. More haste less speed! If I do manage to do a reset on the router, what will it go back to? Will it go right back to the original TP-LINK firmwar...

I'm out of my depth technically with that - wouldn't even know where to start. The router doesn't have a serial port if you mean RS232 - only internet in, network out and a single USB port. I've looked up and tried the TP Link recovery process but I guess resetting it takes it back to some version o...

Well, I finally got back to this and unfortunately it looks like it doesn't work, at least not for what I wanted to do. I successfully updated the router to OpenWRT first and then uploaded the Gargoyle sysupgrade file. That appeared to work, after a bit of a blip. The final step was to restore the r...

Thanks, will give it a go when I get a bit of time to focus on it. I only bought the A7 because I wanted to replicate the current Gargoyle so if it bricks it then it isn't the end of the world. TFTP is a bit beyond my comfort zone anyway so I may give up at that point! Thanks for your advice.
