Can't access my old TP-Link WR741ND ver:2.4 with Gargoyle firmware
Posted: Thu Nov 19, 2020 10:54 am
Hello everyone(my first post here),
Some years ago I bought a TP-WR741ND router to extend home network from my primary router and I installed Gargoyle firmware on it. It worked flawlessly for some time until it wasn't needed anymore. Now, after some years of not using it I'd like to once again extend my current network configuration (already two routers) but I can't assess my old TP-Link. I don't remember the IP address I defined years ago, but standard 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.2 IPs don't seem to work (and both IPs are assigned now to my current primary routers). Is there an easy way to hard reset TP-Link and than to define its IP as 192.168.1.3? An existing reset button doesn't seem to work as expected, a 30-30-30 method found online also doesn't help. Technically the router is fine - it propagates a wifi network defined years ago (no internet of course), and there's internet working when connecting a laptop with 2 ethernet cabels through LAN ports of TP-link to one of my main routers. I'll appreciate any help.
Cheers,
Karol
