Hello,
I have a TP-LINK TD-W8970 v1.2. OpenWrt says it's supported, but its architecture is Atheros AR9381. Which file am I supposed to download/install?
Appreciate the help!

Gargoyle does not support any modem/router combo devices.

First, thanks for replying, but forgive the ignorance, I'm not quite sure I understand. Are you saying that all the routers that are supported are only routers and not also modems as well? Aren't some of the routers mentioned that are supported by Gargoyle also modems as well?
Thanks again

That is indeed what I am saying.
If you find an exception to this rule (there won't be many), the modem will not function. It will only operate as a router.

Okay, fair enough. Looks like I'll have to purchase a supported router to configure it instead.
Thanks again
