Type differences.

Post by happyshow »

Can someone explain to me the difference between factory, sysupgrade and tftp. I'm ready to upgrade but would like to understand the difference first.

Factory = meant to be flashed via the Factory firmware GUI

TFTP = tftp via command prompt before router boots,
HARD to catch this mode on Windows Vista / Windows 7 PC

Sysupgrade = upgrade via OpenWRT or Gargoyle GUI
OpenWRT or Gargoyle must be already on the router before
you can use the sysupgrade file.
