Hi there Guys.
After a long time waiting, i would like to know if there is some custom firmware for my archer c7 v1.1 who works fully with all frequencies of the router (2.4ghz and 5ghz).
I´ved tried a few months to flash with dd-wrt firmware but i´ved almost bricked the router.
Tks a million for replying me.

No Gargoyle version.
I’m not sure there ever will be. From my reading the 5ghz isn’t supported by the driver. It’s a bad revision of the router for open source.

I am planning to replace my Archer C7v1.1 with a Ubiquiti AP AC PRO to connect wireless clients, and I was hoping that I could flash Gargoyle onto it to "upgrade" my WR1043N. As I would not need the WiFi, the primary concern for most C7v1.x users wouldn't apply to my use case.
From what I have heard, it doesn't seem likely to work at all on v1.x routers, but if someone could provide a clear/definitive answer (WRT is supposed to work on v1.x), I would appreciate it.

Gargoyle works on the Archer C7 1.x, but 5ghz doesn’t

My C7 works great, 2.4 and 5ghz with the latest Nov iSpay build. What I don't understand is why my speed test shows 200 mbps/sec but if I go directly thru the gateway I get almost 950 mbps. I have a gigabyte fiber.
Why would it make such a big diffference?

Your CPU can’t keep up with the data

I suspected HW.
Thanks for clarifying.
