Download speed suck

Post by Baramon »

Just went to Gargoyle with community help and noticed that wr1043nd stucked at 10 Megs of download speed, with stock fw i was able to get 30 Megs easily, i have gigabit connection. How to remove this limitation?

It helps to disable bwmon as it sucks up cpu:
In telnet/ssh:

cd /etc/init.d
./bwmon_gargoyle stop
./bwmon_gargoyle disable
chmod -x bwmon_gargoyle

Thanks! This one does the trick. I don't really need bandwidth monitor function

For those who are new to gargoyle/linux, the post below might be helpful

1: Download latest firmware from tp-link
(with "boot" in its name, ex.: "wr741nv4_en_3_16_6_up_boot(130524).bin").

2: Download a app called "winscp517".

3: Download a app called "putty".

4: With "winscp", login (SCP mode) as:

hostname: 192.168.1.1 (or one you configured in connection - lan)

username: root

password: (if you have created in gargoyle or default "password")

and copy the firmware file to "tmp" folder (rename to orig.bin before).

5. Open PuTTY as SSH to 192.168.1.1 and perform the following commands:

cd tmp

dd if=orig.bin of=tplink.bin skip=257 bs=512

mtd -r write /tmp/tplink.bin firmware


and wait until flash complete!
