hi there, i got a DIR-300 REV. A, i try DD-WRT in this router and on Linksys WRT54G v8.0, well in both router my motorola wireless print server was able to connect via WiFi without problem, but only with the Original Firmwares (D-link and Linksys oficial updated firmwares), when the routers run DD-WRT connect the wireless print server was not possible i any ways, dont know why...
i dont know if this its a DD-WRT problem, configuration or a Linux issue... so i dont know if Gargoyle gonna do the same... its was a pain in the ass the restore process of dlink to the original firmware so i just want an advice before using gargoyle, REGARDS!!!!!

Re: Wireless print server support
What kind of encryption were you using for that print server
to connect to the router?
Did you try with no encryption just to make sure it connected?
Only 3 encryption I've tried, and I know works quite well,
are WEP, WPA, and WPA2 - I believe the WPA/WPA2 are AES,
not TKIP, but not 100% on that.

Re: Wireless print server support
The Dir300 Rev A should support Gargoyle.
Not sure about the Version 8 Linksys though.
I think Gargoyle requires 4 MB flash, and 16MB Ram, so you'd
have to check the specs on that Linksys.
I'm Pretty sure Gargoyle only uses AES, not TKIP encryption.
Also, this is not the DD-WRT forum, but I also use that firmware
on some of my routers.
DD-WRT has recently had issues with TKIP, and they are
recommending you use WPA or WPA2 with AES.
TKIP may work for some, but the preferred is AES as that does
not seem to have any issues - but you need to check the
DD-WRT forums for those problems.
Try Gargoyle on the DIR-300 Rev A - use the latest build or
try the experimental 1.1.1 build

Re: Wireless print server support
yes my actual router its the dir-300 i sold the linksys long time ago... another issue that i have with dd-wrt was a short range wifi signal, original formware do a lot better work with the signal, well i gonna give a chance to gargoyle on the dir-300 soon and post the results, regards
