Gargoyle version?

[WeWe]

it happens in all those versions
1.6.2
1.7.0
1.8.1 on it now
1.9.0

[nworbnhoj]

Can you never save anything in any of those versions!? Or is it intermittent? When I have had trouble saving settings it is because my session has expired - just need to loin again

[WeWe]

no i was able to save my settings before my 2nd or 3rd restart after that i cant change any thing the only way to be able to make it work again is to rest or reflash it

[nworbnhoj]

Did you install plugins? which ones?

[WeWe]

logread only

[nworbnhoj]

I can only think that you have a hardware problem.

Chinese models may differ - TP-Link appear to have started using vxWorks and reducing the flash to 2MB and RAM to 16MB on some of their newer versions for the Chinese market.

Could this apply to your device? What version do you have?

[WeWe]

my version 2.4
sorry for asking a non related question
can i use those mods with gargoyle

1- 64 or 32 mb flash mod
https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php ... =3&login=1

2- usb mod

Downgrade to 1.6.2 and test thoroughly. This is more than likely a flash size problem.
1.6.2 should be fine...
