WDR4300 v1.7

[kahlcy]

To go back to the tp link firmware you only downloaded a firmware from tplink site (without "boot" on file name) and used the update firmware option from Gargoyle?

Thats what I got from here http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wdr4300 , but Im not sure if that works. If its true, then firmware 130319 should work for me.

Hi Dante003,

Take care here.
The file I used for my V1.7 WDR4300 is from:
http://www.tplink.com/resources/softwar ... 130617.zip
That file DOES have "boot" in the name, and you need to cut the prefix off the file using dd, then use CLI and mtd to write the firmware. It is the only vendor firmware I can find (except for older versions of the same thing).

That is documented from here:
http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl- ... l.firmware

I had OpenWrt trunk BB installed, so then I first flashed back to original firmware, then flashed Gargoyle V1.6 as per standard install.

I went this way because I didn't know whether I could flash direct from BB trunk to Gargoyle V1.6.

BTW this is still running fine for me doing all expected router functions, and configuration, and graph reports etc., but I haven't worried about any performance issues or testing any further. At this stage, so long as it is performing correctly then I am happy. I haven't hit a quota yet however.

You need more of the statements in this matter, so that we can understand. Thank you for sharing. I hope you happy

Hi all,

yesterday got a new WDR4300 v 1.7 thru amazon.

Original TP-link software didn´t like gargoyle , flashed with BB OpenWRT RC-3, worked nice.

From there flashed ROOTer MultiWeb, Gargoyle 1.6.2 , Gargoyle PL 1.6.2.2 with no problems about flashing or similar.

Seems few OpenWrt builds have a problem on it with reboot command as reported in other threads - so the reboot happens, but router ends up blinking on LAN cable.. No issue with Gargoyle 1.6.2 & 1.6.2.2 Gargoyle PL.

Works fine.
