Apparently you need to 1.5.4. Don't try and preserve settings like I did or you'll end up with a brick :cry: For the WR1043-ND: WARNING: v1.10 supports only Attitude Adjustment 12.09-rc1 or above. Backfire 10.03.1 causes a BRICK!! I'm a newbie and am unsure if V1.5.4 is Backfire based or not. V1.5....

Received the USB-TTL cable in the mail - followed the instructions of multiple users posted on the forums - SUCCESS - now running V1.5.9!!!! Thanks to everyone who provided an opinion BEWARE TO ALL NEWBIES - DO NOT LOAD V1.5.6 on your TP-Link WR1043ND if it is version 1.1 - you will INSTANTLY have a...

Just so you know, I now have 1.5.9 installed on two v1.10 1043nd's - one as my main router and the other as a bridge/repeater. I have three wired clients and three wireless, and I've had no problems so far. Not trying to gloat btw :) - just wanted to let you know for when you get yours back up and ...

Did you try following the recovery mode steps in the openwrk 1043nd wiki? Static ip in the 192.168.1.x subnet, hitting the OSS button at router boot(fast sys light flashing) and telnetting in? Yes I tried that - the Sys light only comes on for approximately 100ms - and pressing and holding the QSS ...

http://www.gargoyle-router.com/wiki/doku.php?id=tp-link_tl-wr1043nd#revert_back_original_firmware Thank you - I downloaded that firmware from the get go. (the firmware that came with the router is a newer version, but at this point I don't really care as long as I can get the router working again)....

Thanks for the information - Considering I now have a nice brand new white brick with 3 antennas attached, I'd say the information regarding V1.5.6 turning a WR1043ND V1.1 into a brick is highly accurate. I thought I managed to read everything on the forums (regarding WR1043ND's) before proceeding b...

Go figure - Brand new router - followed all the instructions to do a firmware upgrade to V1.5.6 (was told not to try V1.5.9 as it was causing problems). Loaded the file, from within the native console firmware upgrade screen. It responded with software loaded, screen should refresh. Screen did not r...

Is there anyway to backup the current firmware BEFORE I load Gargoyle?

or

If I'm able to find the existing firmware as a download from the internet, am I able to use it to back out of a Gargoyle load?

Thanks

Since you are upgrading from the factory firmware use gargoyle_1.5.9-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr1043nd-v1-squashfs-factory.bin Which can be found in the download section (Atheros AR71XX) of this website. Step1> Download file Step2> Perform firmware upgrade using the file you downloaded and the appropriate...

I have recently purchased a WR1043ND router and have been reading through the website and the forums. I think all I've managed to do is confuse myself (admittedly not a very difficult task). The download section of the website states that I should load V1.3.14 experimental, but I've read on the foru...
