Installation on GL.iNet 6416A

Post by edfauer »

Hello,

I bought a GL.iNet 6416 router with 16MB flash and I found the image
http://www.gargoyle-router.com/download ... actory.bin

But this image is only 8MB big. Therefore I assume this is for the GL.iNet 6408 only.

At OpenWrt both sizes are available:

How can I install Gargoyle on the GL.iNet 6416A router?

Thank you, Hendrik

This will work OK for you.

But 1.9.0 would be a better choice IMO. Post to this thread if you would like to try 1.9.0

Can you help someone else get Gargoyle up and running?

Thank you for the link to ask for a specific image.

Is it always true that a smaler image can be used on a bigger flash?
You answered like this. I assume in that case the rest of the flash will be unsused but it works.

So far as I know the remaining flash is available to install plugins etc

Hallo,

I tried the revision 1.8.1 8MB factory image on my 16MB device now and you are right. It works and the whole memory is available.

success with:

Thank you for your advice. Hendrik
