Re: Version error trying to load 1.9 on Archer C7 v2

Holy cow testicles. I finally got it worked through. It was definitely an issue with my version. Thanks to the info on DD-WRT, I was able to piece together enough of a trail of work arounds.

Re: Version error trying to load 1.9 on Archer C7 v2

Sorry. Meant 1.9. I was able to get DD-WRT installed. Finally, i got past the version error, but DD-WRT does not take Gargoyle from there.

I've tried renaming in various ways, including "openwrtCC.bin" and the exact latest factory Archer C7 firmware syntax. All with the same versioning error. My hypothesis: TP Link is checking either the file name or an embedded version number, including NOT allowing the latest TPLink firmwar...

Version error trying to load 1.9 on Archer C7 v2

I've yet to install Gargoyle on my factory new Archer. I've tried renaming the bin files to "gargoyle1.9" etc, but still get a version error. I must be missing something. Help please! Firmware attempted: gargoyle_1.8.1-ar71xx-generic-archer-c7-v2-squashfs-factory.bin gargoyle_1.9.0-ar71xx-...
