TL-WR1043ND Version 5

Post by cm747 »

Has anyone had luck with flashing the Version 5 of the TL-WR1043ND. Was looking to buy this router and use it with Gargoyle but looking for advice. I am trying to get a router that I can use so I can set cap limits for my kids via router.
:D

I have the TL-WR1043ND v5 and currently has v1.11.0 installed. I'm trying to upgrade to v1.12.0 so I downloaded this file, gargoyle_1.12.0-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr1043n-v5-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin. When processing the upgrade, I got the following message...

"Firmware contains a bootloader. Your router can not be upgraded."

Anyone know how to go about that?
Thanks.

You may need to upgrade via the command line. The bootloader check may not work correctly for your specific device.
