Since I don't own the device to test on, so I can't be certain, but based on the the openwrt wiki page on this device, it looks like you can use flash the gargoyle_1.0.0-atheros-ubnt2-squashfs.bin directly to your device from the firmware upgrade page. According to the same page, in order to make the external antenna work you need to create an init file in init.d (or modify another active one) so these lines get executed at boot:

Code: Select all

sysctl set dev.wifi0.softled 0
gpioctl 7 0

You can only implement this after you have flashed the AP. You will need to ssh into your router edit a file in /etc/init.d to include those lines (should resemble other init scripts you find in there), and then run

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/[name of file] enable
This enables the script.
