I installed 1.15 on my WRT32X. It came up and everything appeared correct however I discovered two issues.

1. I could not get it to successful connect to my ISP. It would/could not get a wan ip. Working with the ISP (Astound) we reset the modem (Arris SB6141) multiple times. They could see the router but it would not pickup an IP address. Ended up going back to 1.12 which worked fine.

2. Could not get the guest network to work. I would enable it and click on save changes, the running indicator would spin forever, I waited about 15 minutes. Upon rebooting the guest network was not enabled. Tried this multiple times.

The router has worked perfectly fine for years on 1.12, guess I will leave it there.

Just wanted to post this in case someone else has a problem with this router.

Which specific version of 1.15?
Did you preserve settings when you upgraded?

Hi Lantis: I downloaded the img and bin code last week from your site, 1.15.x_20250331. I did not preserve the settings.

While installing the code I actually bricked the router, took me a tremendous amount of time to recover from that. Fortunately I had a old router to keep me running.

Guest Network - Confirmed a bug, thanks for reporting it. This is only triggered if on the very first configuration you make on a fresh flash you enable Guest Network, and is specific to mvebu devices only.
Workaround: Create your normal network first, refresh the page, then enable the guest network and all will work fine.

I'll put out a build in the next week or so with this.

To your issue about a lack of WAN IP, I don't think this is strictly a Gargoyle issue. It may have been related to your first issue which actually stops any of your settings from saving, which may have impacted your WAN settings also.
If that's not it, I'd need to see some logs or something else concrete. Not much else I can do sorry.

Hi Lantis: I Appreciate you looking into this (along with all the other things you do for Gargoyle). I am not in a hurry to move to 1.15 so I will wait a bit to try it again. The bricking thing has made me wary

Ah yes apologies I forgot to address that.
The wrt32x (and the wrt1900ac v1) had small kernel partitions which had to be resized to fit the modern kernel. This requires you to flash the factory image instead of the sysupgrade image.

If you upgraded in small steps (1.12 > 1.13 > 1.14 > 1.15) you would see a warning on screen telling you about this, however 1.12 did not have the ability to warn users yet, I think this came in 1.13.
So unfortunately a silent gotcha for those making large jumps
