Well, that's a bit embarrassing. So my problems were caused by a combination of MTU being too large for PPPoE (1492 is max) and me tinkering with things while I was trying to fix them. Turns out my modem is not very good when it's not in bridged mode, and when heavily stressed (torrents etc) drops l...

Just went back to 1.3.13...have been having troubles with packet loss on 1.3.15 (48% packet loss pinging google.com)...instantly troubles are gone, between 0 and 1% packet loss after reverting. Had troubles with 1.3.14 too (though I can't say if it was better, worse or the same, or even the same pro...

On a WNDR3700v1... I seem to be having brief connection dropouts; actual modem connection hasn't dropped (i've also reduced my ADSL connection profile just in case so I can be sure it's not dropping) so it's an issue in Gargoyle somewhere. Problem occurs on both wired and wireless connections and pe...

It's nothing wrong with Gargoyle really, it's really an upstream openwrt / netgear / american FCC policy issue. * Netgear because they don't bother to set their regdomain EEPROM correctly for all the markets they sell their hardware in...(though their firmware ignores it so that's ok in a way)... * ...

Given I wrote the bit about uploading regulatory.bin on the OpenWRT wiki, yes you can ;-). You won't be able to set wireless power of greater than 20dBm on Gargoyle through the GUI, but you can edit the config file if you want to. You can find the max values supported by the hardware in the DD-WRT w...

Couple of issues: Atheros gear doesn't use WDS in the same way as broadcom does; you still need to enable a virtual AP when using WDS in order for other devices to be able to connect to the AP. Essentially needs to work pretty much the same way as repeater bridge mode, but using "option 'wds' '...

Bug in 5GHz channel selection... Where 40MHz mode is selected, only certain channel pairs are allowed (in order to preserve the largest number of possible paired channels. For example, where I set channel 161, this is not allowed in 40MHz and I get: Configuration file: /var/run/hostapd-phy0.conf Usi...

Thanks for that info pbix...had to reconfigure my modem a little to put it in a different subnet, but that does work quite easily . Sadly, as it turns out the modem has no uptime counter...but it's still quite useful to be able to access it simply
