From Gargoyle -> OpenWRT

[tplinkuser]

Hello,
My Router is TP-Link TLMR3220 v2
My device is supported for OpenWRT.
I am currently on Gargoyle 1.8.1(stable)

Can someone tell me how to switch to OpenWRT?
I mean, am I supposed to flash the openwrt firmware from Gargoyle GUI or have to flash it from bootloader.

Please Provide a step by step guide. Thanks in advance

just flash it from the GUI.

True about going to LEDE, too? Since the stable for it is out now, I want to see what it's like.

[Lantis]

Yes should be the same.
But... LEDE has added some metadata and other checks to their sysupgrade images. Gargoyle doesn't have these.
You may need to do a "sysupgrade -F" to force it.
I don't expect this to be an issue for Gargoyle->LEDE, but going back the other way definitely.

Oh, good to know! I'll read up on that command when coming back, as I haven't had to flash from the command-line before.

How to easily revert back to stock linksys after initial update and specially after sysupgrate?

Read the openwrt wiki page for your specific device.
Otherwise, https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/generic.uninstall
