it's an old post, but now i upgraded the firmware to v1.10.0 and now i have another weird problem, the plugin page not refreshed, it says internet connection is required, i have an internet connection, and time is not getting update also.

What type of router do you have?

EDIT: For TP-Link TL-WR1043ND, rewrite the file with this:

here is the screenshot of my setup

At SSID to Join you press SCAN and select the SSID of yout ISP modem/router and enter the password
Then you Gargoyle router will broadcast it own SSID, in my occasion its 2.4 Gz and 5.0 Gz

Make Restore Default Configuration before setup, as you mentioned that you experiencing problems right now

@erez669 will have a problem with the /etc/opkg.conf file, so the plug-in page is not updated. OpenWrt changed DNS name from http://downloads.openwrt.org to http://archive.openwrt.org - for Gargoyle 1.10.0

imbaSD, when I apply the settings as you said, I lost access to the router web interface, and it's not working, I try to factory reset and reconfigure, same result. what's wrong?

Make sure that the Gargoyle router Gateway IP is different from the ISP's router

e.g mine Gargoyle is 192.168.2.254 and ISP 192.168.1.1
