Gargoyle Pocket Router is a no go for 1.11.0

Hi, all. I've been working with many of the kind, helpful members of the community in the wireless section in the thread "FIOS + airport + router for monitoring "
Summary: 3ish weeks ago, I bought a gargoyle router from this site (the v2 pocket router) to support the ideas and forum and work here. The router came installed with 1.10 and I wanted the functionality of 1.11. After a fair bit of work, new code, and lots of work, I put 1.11 on the gargoyle router and it failed / made it inoperable. I did this knowing it may not work, and that's my responsibility.
However, the thing I want to bring up is that the gargoyle router (all of them, even the new one, I suspect) from this site is not compatible (?) with 1.11. This seems like it should be fixed in one of three ways:
1) Figure out a way to get 1.11 on the currently sold gargoyle pocket routers from this site (my preference and probably best, but perhaps technically impossible given hardware)
2) Put a note on the shop page and on the routers themselves that they will not work with 1.11 (and future versions as well, I suspect) and that they are locked in at 1.10. I would have bought a different router if I had known this.
3) Get a new router in the shop that does support 1.11
I did know that everything I was doing could have scrogged the router, but I did expect it would eventually work. And, certainly, I could have done something wrong, in which case I'd love to know how to get 1.11 on the router.
Again, thanks to everyone for all the help.
