ar71xx builds and TP-Link 4300 stock

Use At Your Own Risk

I've compiled the latest ar71xx.usb_large images and zipped them, they can be found below. I've tested an upgrade on a TP-Link 4300 and it worked fine (from another 1.5.9 image). I can't vouch for the other images however.

In addition, since the latest Gargoyle has problems with some hardware (xBoxes and my wireless HP printer won't connect), I created a revert to stock image as well. It's the latest cut down TP-Link image and worked for me to revert my TP-Link 4300 back to stock from a 1.5.9 install.

I am now running stock unfortunately until OpenWRT fixes the xBox problem (ugh).

Any chance you could post the Mar 1st builds for the WHR-HP-G300N?

Must have been some changes in the ath9k driver because everything is working great now with WDS. Thanks again for the build.

Successful flash on a 1043nd 1.7.
Unfortunately, it looks like the 1mbit/packet-loss/disable_ani bug still exists, except that now no error is logged. :roll:

Heads up on possible WAN port instability. I'd lose connection and could not ping the gateway several times per day since the flash.
This could've been due to my crappy ISP, so I flashed back to 1.5.6 but got a different gateway now...

I'm staying at 1.5.6 until I no longer experience wifi troubles...

Hello,


I have also run into problems connection to an Epson printer. I guess its related to the xBox / HP printer problem you mentioned.

sorry to ask again, but Im not sure. does this build fix the problem?

I also reverted my WDR3600 to stock firmware btw. I downloaded the image from the official page and could revert using the gargoyle web interface

Possibly. I notice that the latest DD-WRT allows me to connect to my HP Printer, so am now using that. There is a possibility that since DD-WRT and Gargoyle use the same OpenWRT drivers (can anyone confirm?) the latest build of Gargoyle + latest OpenWRT will also fix the problem, but I guess you'd need to try that one.
