My Gargoyle pocket router firmware is on version 1.10.0. I have downloaded this file :
gargoyle_1.12.0-ar71xx-generic-gargoyle-pocket-router-v2-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin.

I've have tried to upgrade this to version 1.12.0. I have restarted the router and pc. I have tried to upgrade on Mac OS and Windows 7, but no luck. It starts off with "uploading the firmware" and a few seconds later it says "upgrading, please wait". I have tried the upgrade overnight, but still no progress. "Attempt to Preserve Settings'is unticked.

Please advise.

Try upgrading from the command line and let us know what error message you get.

... just be careful with the -F switch! With the wrong firmware, the device can become a brick!

Hi Lantis,

I'm pretty new to this command line stuff. Can you tell me how to do it? I'm on Mac OS or Windows 7. I know in Mac I would use 'Terminal' for the command line.... Thank you in advance.

Ok, I've managed to access the pocket router via Terminal. What command do I use to update the firmware?

The order is probably too long for you. I use the "Putty" program under Windows and here the command works.
