Upgrading to newer/updated version ?

Post by der_Kief »

Hi @ All,

whats the procedure to upgrade to a newer version of Gargoyle.
Reset -> Upgrade -> Reset -> configure from scrath ? Or just install over an existing version ?

I generally just Save backup -> flash new version -> set password & timezone -> restore backup.

There have been occasional upgrades where I've had problems and gone back to configuring from scratch, thankfully this has not happened recently.

Bandwidth/quota history never gets restored, not sure if it's just me though?

To save some pain, it's easier to leave the default router address as 192.168.1.1, I previously had mine set differently but it made every upgrade a chore. Also only upgrade over a wired connection, not wireless.
