Newbie install guide: Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH

[art.king]

Here are step-by-step instructions for the non technical person who wants to install Gargoyle on a Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH.

Taking a factory stock Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH router and upgrading it to Gargoyle

Used the Buffalo setup to switch from the "user friendly" firmware to the Buffalo factory default "Professional" firmware (DD-WRT)

Logged into DD-WRT at 192.168.11.1 and set a new password and wrote it down.

Installed Telnet on Windows 7 from control panel.

Opened Telnet and entered:

o 192.168.11.1

promted for user name and password

used "root" for user name (regardless of user name specified when instaling DD-WRT)

used the password I set when configuring DD-WRT above

After successful login, copied and pasted these commands to telnet


cd /tmp

wget http://www.gargoyle-router.com/download ... pgrade.bin

{after the wget commant, the screen showed a download progress bar and then completion}


mtd -e linux -r write gargoyle_1.3.14-ar71xx-wzr-hp-g300nh-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin linux

{after mtd command, screen showed several commands, then nothing for a long time. Be patient.
Finally, the screen said "lost connection"}

Gargoyle changed the default IP address to 192.168.1.1

Opened a browser and entered 192.168.1.1

Got the Gargoyle login screen. The default password is "password"

Changed the Gargoyle password. All ready to configure and use!

Hey there,

I would like to install Gargoyle on my WZR-HP-G300NH that is currently running DD-WRT 19342.

Thanks for the detailed instructions in the Wiki. However, I have a question for upgrading to the latest 1.5.7 release. Should I replace the code in the wiki (please examine the full URLs where they have been shortened):

cd /tmp

wget http://www.gargoyle-router.com/download ... pgrade.bin

Then

mtd -e linux -r write gargoyle_1.3.14-ar71xx-wzr-hp-g300nh-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin linux

with this?

cd /tmp

wget http://www.gargoyle-router.com/download ... pgrade.bin

Then

mtd -e linux -r write gargoyle_1.5.7-ar71xx-generic-wzr-hp-g300nh-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin linux

Thanks!
