Re: Version 1.5.10

Post by firstreflex »

Hi,
I tried the new release 1.5.10 wiht my TP-Link TL-WDR4300 7 days ago, it works perfectly. Yesterday, I tried to setup OpenVPN for the first time, anh now, it doesn't work anymore. I have no more internet and I can't access with WebUI. I tried to reset by pushing the reset button but the probleme was not resolved. Can somebody tell me how to reload et restart the firmware ?

Thank a lot

Unplug the router's power cord.
Configure your PC with a static IP address between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.254. E. g. 192.168.1.2 (gateway and DNS is not required).

Turn Router:
SYS LED begins to flash, press and hold the QSS button until the SYS LED flashes quickly

telnet 192.168.1.1

mtd -r erase rootfs_data

Wait for restart

I upgraded by simply SCP'ing the sysupgrade.bin file to the router and running mtd to write the flash device.
So you went directly from DD-WRT to Gargoyle without going back to stock? What were the exact commands? Do you think it will work on a TP-Link 4300 running DD-WRT with the same commands?

From an Ubuntu laptop I scp'ed the file up to the router:

Code: Select all

scp ${sysupgr_file} root@${router_addr}:/tmp
then I wrote the file to the storage device:

Code: Select all

mtd -r write ${sysupgr_file} linux
With the '-r' option the router will reboot after the write (replace my pseudo variables with your actual filenames and addresses).

I can't be certain that'll work on the TP-Link device - I don't have one - but I expect it to as the environment is the same: DD-WRT running, an MTD device, upgrade to Gargoyle.

Thank you very much, this method solved my problem.

Thanks for the commands. I assume it's the .bin upgrade file? Did you also reset the router with a 30/30/30 before you did the upgrade?

Nope, just jumped straight in. I'm a touch cynical about that 30-30-30 stuff - if the power's off what does it matter how long the middle period is? I found DD-WRT and its forum a bit too much full of myth and magic rather than sound, tried and tested practice.

I was having trouble getting 256 bit ( Blowfish ) encryption handshaking to work properly with the iOS client (OpenVPN 1.0.1 build 88)
I haven't had time to reconfig & test this out for you but I doubt that Gargoyle's OpenVPN supports a 256bit Blowfish cipher. I read that AES is particularly suited to iThings with their ARM processors. See the output from cmd below:
