This isn't a new issue - see this thread.

A workaround for using the DDNS name is to configure it as a local DNS name but exactly how that might be achieved in Gargoyle I don't know.

Not supported by official builds yet but the ipq806x architecture offers an alternative to mvebu (Linksys WRT series). The experimental 1.11.0 build has been run on the Netgear R7800, R7500v2 & D7800, Linksys EA8500 and TP-Link Archer C2600 that I'm aware of. I've also run Lantis' preliminary 1....

If it already has OpenWrt on it, you should be able to just install the sysupgrade image as though it was an OpenWrt image using the Luci firmware upgrade function. If you run into problems, you should be able to TFTP install the factory image (but read the OpenWrt C2600 hardware notes to be sure ho...

The EA8500 had been in and running nicely on the 1.11.0 build for me for over a week, so I plucked up the courage to try a sysupgrade to Lantis' 1.13.x custom build.

Thanks!

Generally Gargoyle does not support any modems, so i stuck with that paradigm. If there's big demand we can add it, but i'm personally charging the person who requests it responsible for answering every single "How do i make the modem work?" post :) I understand where you're coming from. ...

In your ipq806x build I notice that you haven't included the image for the Netgear D7800 - any particular reason given that my 1.11.0 build for this device seems to work fine?
