Gargoyle Forum

The bandwidth monitoring is powered by a custom kernel module which would need to be patched into the OpenWrt build environment. OpenWrt (many, many years ago) were not interested in accepting such a thing. Problem 2, it only works with iptables. OpenWrt are migrated to nftables. Once you have the k...

https://github.com/ericpaulbishop/gargoyle/blob/master/README.md The fastest method is to compile ath79.default to check your build environment works. Then modify targets/ath79/profiles/default/config to enable your device to build. Adding it to targets/ath79/profiles/default/profile_images is helpf...

wr840n v6.2, no due to the low flash storage.
The two cpe devices, potentially, however currently Gargoyle is not compiled for these versions and would require you to compile them yourself, test, and if it works ok I’d be happy to add them to the official build.

An excellent suggestion!

I don’t really have any further suggestions. Except to try vanilla OpenWrt 23.05 and see if you have the same issue. If not then a comparison between config with 1.15 might reveal something.

Compile a list of allowed symbols.

Your DHCP settings sound odd to me, what IP is the router? It is weird that your DHCP range starts at 1.

Don’t use symbols or spaces at all, that is safest.
I don’t have an audit of where symbols are safe or not. The community could compile one

You can try it and see if it improves the behaviour, but in theory it shouldn’t.
ESP devices are notorious for having shoddy wifi though…

The only other suggestion would be to try without SAE/WPA3, i.e. use WPA2 only, if you aren’t already.

A modern IoT device shouldn’t need 802.11b mode…
If you want to try enabling it, identify the wifi radio number in the config associated to 2.4ghz, say it is radio0
uci set wireless.radio0.legacy_rates=1
uci commit wireless
wifi

These legacy rates are disabled by default in the latest versions.

It is possible, this feature was actually submitted by a user but unfortunately it is now really out of date and cannot be used. It must be reimplemented from scratch.

There is a shortage of time and people willing to contribute such a thing.
It is on my list, but so are a lot of things
