I installed *python-is-python3* using apt - this should probably also be added to compilation instructions in the wiki :) sudo apt install python-is-python3 This did the trick! I already flashed the new build to my TL-WR710N v2.1 and successfully configured it as a "Gateway" with an "...

Yep, big red flag. Thanks for pointing this out! You have all these versions of python, none of them are symlinked to “python” itself. That was the result of a clean installation as described in all the docs read. On Ubuntu you can install a package called “python-is-python3” which just creates a s...

Did you have a look at these build instructions? I know they are a little old now and you building on a different architecture. https://www.gargoyle-router.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=11883 I just looked at them, they seem to be analogous/identical to what I'm doing except that I've been try...

I’ve seen this before with users not having python properly available in their build root. Very early on (first 30 seconds) some python scripts are called when compiling that do all of the internationalisation stuff. I’d check here. These are the pythons in my $PATH: pi@CSL:/opt/gargoyle$ python<TA...

Funny thing happened: After logging in with SSH, I decided to change the root password using "passwd root". Only *after that* I was able to login via the Web interface with the new password, too...... Strange... Then I started some configuration, but several scattered dialog boxes containi...

I finally managed to create a flashable *ath79* build for my TL-WR710N V2.1 and flashed it !! :) After rebooting and trying to login into the web interface with the default password or any other password, it gives me a sort of dialog saying "*undefined*" and then hangs. :( (SSH to root@192...

There’s probably a few pearls of wisdom on the forums that don’t get gobbled into the wiki.

I'm documenting all my steps leading to a (hopefully) successful build for the TL-WR710 on Debian 11 on WSL and I'm more than willing to share the MD file here in the forum. Hope this helps!

I apologise, but I don’t know how you learn this stuff except by experience and exposure to it. It’s not really documented, it just is there. 7 years looking at this stuff, I’m still learning. There’s probably a few pearls of wisdom on the forums that don’t get gobbled into the wiki. Thats fine, ex...

... No, remove those. The only changes required are: ... Thanks, I will retry! usb_large is not going to work for an 8mb device. That was probably ambitious to say the least. So I will retry with the "usb" profile. But: Finding the CONFIG variables for the TL-WR710N in the *usb_large* pro...

Ah, I think I noticed my mistake :
I will also add to `/opt/gargoyle/targets/ath79/profiles/usb_large/config`, restart and report back here ...
