Before doing actual steps - I'd like to consult with people who did it before.
What should be migration path from OpenWrt Backfire (10.03.1) to Gargoyle?
I have TP-Link WR841ND v5 (Atheros chipset), with OpenWrt installed from here
I was using openwrt-ar71xx-tl-wr841nd-v5-squashfs-factory.bin image to flash router directly from factory web interface.
What should I do to upgrade it - from OpenWrt/LuCI - to Gargoyle UI?
Should I use *-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin firmware from Gargoyle repository?
Is web flashing ok, or some other steps are required?
P.S. I have checked Gargoyle Install Guide
It doesn't mention TP-Link routers, or upgrade from OpenWrt to Gargoyle.
After migration from OpenWrt/LuCI to Gargoyle, I am ready to make detailed Wiki page on this process and final results
Thanks for any help offered!

Yes, you can upgrade from the web gui in openwrt
You can flash that image above in the download section
sysupgrade = web upgrade
factory = tftp load of file for initial flashing
you will lose all your settings, so remember to write them down
or remember what they are if its not too detailed.

Thanks a lot!
Upgraded my TP-Link WR841ND from OpenWrt (LuCI) to Gargoyle 1.3.7 few minutes ago.
Everything working very well so far.
BTW: WDS (AP+WDS) on WR841ND/Gargoyle works together with WR1043ND (with native TP-Link firmware) just out of the box.
Excellent!

Re: Migration from OpenWrt Backfire to Gargoyle
Hello everyone,
I have WR841 Router, and meanwhile I updating the firmware the electricity got cut off and then when I accessed the RS232 with the cable it booted, I tried to write a flash on the address of the firmware but ever since it didn’t boot and I bought a WR1043 instead and I tried to write a firmware on the WR841 flash but I don’t know exactly its address, and this is what I got:
erase 0xbf020000 +7c0000
tftpboot 0x81000000 code.bin
cp.b 0x81000000 0xbf020000 0x7c0000
So I thought of doing this, while it was working or on function, I dispatched the flash for the WR1043 and I’ve installed it on the WR841, I managed to write the WR841 and the file on the flash (wr841n_en_3_4_5_up_boot(090226) but it doesn’t boot because I wrote it on the wrong address, the file includes the boot sector (U-BOOT 1.1.4 feb 6 2009). So on what kind of address do I have to write it, can anyone help me out?
