Restoring config to identical Gargoyle version and hardware

[oviano]

So I am trying to setup another TL-1043ND-v2.1 router with Gargoyle 1.8.1 for a second location and I was hoping to be able to restore from the config taken from the first one (same hardware model, same Gargoyle) so that I only need to make some minor changes rather than reconfigure everything from scratch.....however when I attempt this it is saying the config file isn't valid?

Is there something I need to edit in the saved config (it's a tar file that expands to a bunch of dirs and subdirs) to persuade it to work? There must be something in the config that relates to the hardware MAC address or something maybe?

Anyone know?

Thanks!

I reckon this should work. What is the exact error message?

Yes it does work, my mistake was that Safari was automatically unzipping the tar.gz config downloaded form the old router into a .tar file which was invalid when read into the new one.

Once I disabled this in Safari and gave the new router a valid tar.gz file it restored just fine.

Thanks
