Gargoyle CLI

[GhostYou]

Thank You so much for the wan port tip. sorry it not so long but that got me in and all works fine now

Hey guys, I've successfully used this guide before to reset gargoyle to its default through Putty. I forget what ip I used for it last time, and now I cannot get Putty to connect when I've come back to it months later. I had it set to bridge mode. It's a WNDR3800 trying to connect through the WAN port... Any suggestions? This time I used the ip settings in the video above, but from memory I had to use something different.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I think you should use the LAN port on that device
Addresses in the 192.168.1.x range will be ok.
Remember to use telnet for 1.9.1 and below, and SSH for 1.10.0

Ok that worked to get in. Thank you for your help. Now I can't seem to get the firstboot command to do anything. I swear it worked fine last time.

Also I'm happy to just do a reflash to 1.10.0 if that's simpler. Is netcat the best way to do this? Can I do it over telnet?

“firstboot -y” is the new command.

I’ve never flashed over firstboot sorry. I’m sure I’ll have to one day, but for now I can’t offer any advice.

[jocogi]

firstboot -y just sends me to a new line the same as the other command. I am still on 1.9.2. I swear it worked fine months ago. I'm not sure what I am doing differently now.

Regarding flashing, what is the recommended way without having access to the web gui?

Thank you again for your ongoing help with

Then you type “reboot” and try to connect to the router normally

What is the command in terminal (Linux) to log into gargoyle in failsafe?
I’ve only used putty and winSCP but have not learned how to do it myself in CLI

I will use a raspberry pi 4 to correct my config using failsafe and terminal
