I'm using two TL-WR1043ND:s and one of them seem to cause problems much more often. The one that couldn't use 1.3.13, when tasked with being an AP, without constantly becoming unreponsive is a hardware version 1.8. I'm now trying to use it as a WDS client with 1.3.14 but it doesn't work completely. I get an WDS connection and from telnet I can ping any site on the internet just fine, but from windows I can only see the main router and the client router and nothing else. I supect it needs some kind of additional routing setting.
The other one is a V 1.7 and is now serving as an AP+WDS and hasn't hung once with 1.3.14. It also functioned as a working WDS client before without any further settings (with 1.3.11).
May I submit for your consideration, that the trouble people have had with TL-WR1043ND:s that you haven't been able to reproduce perhaps has to do with you using different hardware versions?
I am running 1.3.14 on my Netgear WNDR3700 v1 they are working fine after I go through and configure the settings from scratch. I don't have the blank connected hosts info like other members here.
However, the backup configuration from Gargoyle version 1.3.13 does not work. At first I thought maybe the problem due to incompatibility between different revision. However, after I re-flashed the router with the old firmware 1.3.13; then tried to restore the backup configuration. I encountered the same problem. Internet dropped and I could not connect to the router until I re-flashed the firmware again.
1. Download updated define_hosts_vars.sh here http://www.gargoyle-router.com/gargoyle/projects/gargoyle/repository/revisions/9fd4ae0267f6e242a0e581f424f044a627c06c1b/changes/package/gargoyle/files/usr/lib/gargoyle/define_host_vars.sh (click Download)
2. Copy that file to a usb stick, place usb stick into router and setup USB share on it
3. SSH router (can use Putty in windows) , type "find -name define_host_vars.sh" . You should get a list of result, one of them being the file on the USB drive (example: /tmp/usb_mount/*/define_host_vars.sh)
4. Type "cp /tmp/usb_mount/*/define_host_vars.sh /usr/lib/gargoyle/" (use correct paths)
That's it, no router reboot required. You can also just download the file directly to router if you don't want to use a USB drive.
opendns ddns is not working in TP link WR941ND ver 2.2
if wireless mode B+G+N is selected wireless light doesn't come up and needs a lot of time for applying configuration changes.
Other than that everything seems fine.
