WNDR3700v2

[ng3700v2]

I just picked up a WNDR3700v2 from the store. I was able to successfully install OpenWRT without any issues.

I also tried one of the gargoyle pre-packaged images:
gargoyle_1.3.12-ar71xx-wndr3700-squashfs-factory.img
However, this failed with the router light blinking/flashing green continuously which indicates "corrupt firmware" according to the manual. I noticed that OpenWRT has a separate image for v2 of the WNDR3700 and the v1/v2 versions are not compatible. V2 has 16MB flash opposed to 8MB on the v1.

Here is a link describing some of the changes to get OpenWRT running on a v2:

Would it be possible to get a wndr3700"v2" version of the gargoyle firmware?

I also tried installing the gargoyle packages on top of the base OpenWRT as described http://www.gargoyle-router.com/wiki/dok ... f_packages, but was unsuccessful. After updating the package list, executing "opkg install gargoyle" listed all of the packages, but they all said: "<package name> has no valid architecture, ignoring."

Should I be able to do this? Do I need an older version of OpenWRT for this to work? -- I used the most recent.

Thanks for any help!

Sorry can't help but I have subscribed as I was keen to get a WNDR3700. I hope you get it all up and running, must be very frustrating.

Once you work it out can you please share here and also let me know if you can still use the USB port as a media server once Gargoyle is installed.

It's needed to bump the OpenWRT Backfire revision to the current, and the WNDR3700v2 will be supported by Gargoyle. But I think it's not simple, because the OpenWRT developer team backported the dual stack firewall to the Backfire, and that's why needed some modifications in Gargoyle firewall.

Okibi -- I have a working wndr3700v2 image if you would like to try it...

I'd love to try that image you mention if you don't mind
