Gargoyle Forum

I think it's a great idea, especially with the number of TPLink routers Gargoyle is bricking the past few weeks. I just need someone in New Zealand to fix mine!!

welcome to the club, there are so many of us with the same problem, gargoyle seems to be bricking tplink routers like crazy at the moment, all with the same problem ... unable to login no password works, there isn't a solution yet at all

nope, I never did get a solution, I had to write the router off. I don't trust Gargoyle anymore, seeing it doesn't support the reset button, a primary function of any router its pretty much useless. I much prefer DD-WRT The reset button is turned into a "self destruct" button for your rout...

that won't work for me, fail safe doesn't work, it thinks its working but I can't get a ping response or can't telnet to 192.168.1.1, can't even port scan and find it.

can you cut the end off a standard usb cable and connect it like that or does it have to be something special?

once it was in failsafe mode I used a port scanner to try find a response from it, but nothing... it doesn't exist on 192.168.1.1 the most frustrating thing is the router is working, it works as a dhcp server for wired connections and you can go to the login screen no problems... just can't login. p...

yes I did, I also set gateway and dns to 192.168.1.1 just incase that was required, is there a specific port I should be using, I've tried wan and all 4 ports though but it didn't seem to make a difference.

failsafe appears to work, the sys light flashes rapidly once its in failsafe mode and it disappears off the ip address I've set for it which is 192.168.0.2, but it doesn't go to 192.168.1.1, I have no idea what happens, it doesn't seem to get an IP when in failsafe mode. Is it possible its on anothe...

I spent another couple of hours on it today, still no luck. I tried 3rd party tools to flash the router, no good. There just has to be a way, Obviously pressing the reset button has half reset the router, its deleted the passwords but not finished the job or something.. I've tried admin/password roo...
