length of the upgraded file is incorrect

Post by kris »

Hello, when I try to install Gargoyle (gargoyle_1.8.0-ar71xx-generic-archer-c5-squashfs-factory.bin) onto the TP-LINK Archer C5, I get the following error:

Error code: 18001
Upgrade unsuccessfully because the length of the upgraded file is incorrect. Please check the file name.

I even get this error after shrinking the file name down to just gargoyle.bin

Any ideas?

I have the Archer C5 v 2.0 so that page says "2.x is based on Broadcom chips rather than Atheros and not supported yet". So I guess that means that I can't install Gargoyle right?

Thanks for your help,

Dang! I should have been more careful to check the version number for the Open WRT compatibility. I just bought it so I'll return it and get the Archer C7 v2.0 which appears to be supported.
