See that page

Looks like some people are trying to get OpenWRT running on it

BUT

It seems to run out of memory just with OpenWRT

NOT likely it will ever run Gargoyle because Gargoyle adds
more features which will increase memory requirements

Stick with stock firmware or maybe try OpenWRT

As of v1.7.0 it is listed as supported by Gargoyle:

I'm also interested in setting up this device as repeater, is there any tutorial on this?

Recommend using 1.8.0 rather than 1.7.1 (experimental and buggy)

No repeater tutorial that I am aware of - but there has been some discussion in these forums from time to time
Can you help someone else get Gargoyle up and running?

Thanks for your advice I wil install 1.8.0 instead.

I did not found any information in the WIKI about REPEATER setup:
http://www.gargoyle-router.com/wiki/dok ... oyle_setup

Although Gargoyle is capable of doing this mode.

Mabe the developer has yet not the time to update the wiki page!?

So when you figure it out it would be great if you could wiki a "common scenario"! http://www.gargoyle-router.com/wiki/dok ... _scenarios

Search this forum for other people who have already discussed repeater setup
