I have been reading every post on this forum pertaining to my router and am unable to find a proper solution. I have been able to flash dd-wrt, buffalo's firmware, and openwrt with ease. The only catch with openwrt is that I had to flash the trunk build of the WZR-HP-G301NH firmware. From there, I have tried to install the packages of gargoyle by changing opkg.conf under /etc/. Unfortunately, the turnout is never any good. How do I install gargoyle on top of openwrt backfire - or - if i cannot install gargoyle on top of openwrt backfire, will someone provide me a link with the appropriate .bin or firmware file to flash via tftp? I have flashed via tftp other firmware plenty of times. Please let me know.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Unable to flash WZR-HP-G300NH
Hi
I installed Gargoyle by first uploading dd-wrt through the GUI with no problems. Then I tried Gargoyle through GUI & it failed.
Hunting through these forums I found this that worked, I copied the text but dont have the original link, sorry to the original poster.
"I set the router up as a gateway and connected it to my broadband modem so it had internet access. Then I telneted into the router and then used this set of commands
> cd /tmp
> wget http://www.gargoyle-router.com/download ... pgrade.bin
> mtd -e linux -r write gargoyle_1.3.14-ar71xx-wzr-hp-g300nh-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin linux
If you follow this guide I suggest you copy and paste from the above to the terminal to ensure you get everything just right. Leave off the ">" of course.
The terminal window then showed progress... at times it looked as if nothing much was happening, the file writing is eventually indicated by an alternating "e" and "w"
After some 10 minutes or so the router restarted and was happily running Gargoyle"
Just change the 1.3.14 to the latest version
