Gargoyle 1.15.x BETA - 2025-03-31 - Based on OpenWrt 23.05

Fantastic.
Did you change any of the default settings? You must have set your SSID at a minimum I think?

I did set the same SSID to 2.4G and 5G. Besides, fast roaming is enabled. Nothing's more.

Update: band steering works for an AP among multiple bands but same SSID used even if fast roaming is disabled.

I've tried to setup the FW onto GL-MT6000.

Flashed sysupdate and then manually from UI set up everything as on my WRT1200AC (the same router IP - 192.158.1.1, mask, DHCP assignments, etc).

Faced two issues:
1. (minor one) I cannot connect to Gargoyle UI using https. Browser blame invalid certificate. I'm able to connect to my old the WRT1200AC (Gargoyle 1.13.0 installed).

2. LAN clients connecting to router without issues (LAN & WiFi) and can ping internal router's interface.
But they do not have internet access.
When I'm trying to ping google.com or 1.0.0.1 or 8.8.8.8 from my PC (in LAN) -- I'm getting "Reply from 192.168.1.1: Destination port unreachable".
At the same time if I ssh to router and ping google.com or 1.0.0.1 or 8.8.8.8 from router -- all good.
From "Diagnostic" page of the Gargoyle UI the 8.8.8.8 is also pingable.
PPPoE WAN link is UP.
In logs I see "CHAP authentication succeeded", "Interface 'wan' is now up".

Connection | Routing -- looks exactly the same as old router:
Destination Interface(Network) Gateway Metric
default pppoe-wan (WAN) 54.1.233.220.st 0
192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 br-lan (LAN) * 0
220.233.1.54 pppoe-wan (WAN) * 0

Any ideas what should I check and how to try to fix it?
Thanks.

BTW, I've just noticed that newer FW available on your web-site (1.15.x_20240617, while mine was 1.15.x_20240518)

Decided to try. Downloaded, flashed (not preserved settings).
And now I'm unable to configure WAN, getting javascript error 'There is an error in Use Custom VLAN. Changes could not be applied'.
The VLAN related checkbox is not ticked and there is nothing in the disabled VLAN related field.

Try flushing your browser cache, or try a different browser.

HTTPS mode uses a self generated certificate; just about all browsers whinge about this now so you have to accept an exception.

[fifonik]

Ignore the CERT issue. It is working now.
I suspect this happened because time on the router was in past (I configured it when it was not connected to internet so not synced time).

As for the VLAN issue -- I tried to clear cache, tried to to this in different browsers (vivaldi, palemoon, chrome), tried private window -- no luck. I have to tick the VLAN checkbox and key in a number in the field, otherwise I'm getting the error I mentioned.
This is NOT javascript error in console, this is javascript popup window that informing me that something wrong with fields in the form. I'm getting this if not providing login/password on the page when configuring PPPoE.

The VLAN issue was an oversight, I've fixed it. Just downgrade away from that version for now. Or you can manually apply the fix on your router.

Did you turn on Enforce DHCP assignments? If you did, can you try with it off for now.

You can post your /etc/config/network and /etc/config/firewall to try and determine why you aren't getting connectivity on clients.

[fifonik]

Thanks for reply & VLAN fix.
Patched and can modify Basic settings now.

> Did you turn on Enforce DHCP assignments?

Yes, I did.
Does it mean this does not work at this moment?

Thanks for pointing on the network & firewall configs. I've found some mismatches, will try to make to modify them on new router (cannot do it now, people using internet).

[Lantis]

My suspicion is that you have set static DHCP leases, but as it was a new router setup devices connected before the leases were set. So for ~24 hours they may not have the correct IP.
With Enforce set to On, it will be doing what it is supposed to. Blocking mismatched leases.

It’s a hunch, but it’s a pretty good one I think.
If you disable it and re-enable it in ~24-48 hours it should be fine.
Or just wait and it would probably come good on its own.

Just be cautious modifying the network file directory. They are different between devices.

[fifonik]

Thanks for the explanation.

> My suspicion is that you have set static DHCP leases, but as it was a new router setup devices connected before the leases were set.

I will check it out later today, but I do not think this is the case.
During initial setup WiFi was set up with different name so devices were unable to connect.
Then I set up all static DHCP assignments.
Then I swapped it with old router and changed WiFi name so clients started to connect.
I checked internet connection from my local PC and from my phone (connected by WiFi).

As for modifying files directly -- I'm not going to copy these files from old device. I've looked at diffs and found something suspicious.
Going to make changes one by one, reboot & check.

[Lantis]

No worries. Post your findings and we will work from there. I don’t have a PPPoE connection so it’s tricky to test but I can set one up if needed (I just need to remember how…)
