How to setup USB HD in Gargoyle?

Post by fscussel »

Hi, I would like to make an USB hardisk available in the network of my router, as so to use with windows 7 machines. Is it possible thru gargoyle?

Yes.

PM me if you need to buy Gargoyle router in Australia/NZ, willing to pay me to help you on your Gargoyle configurations or build custom configured ROM with pre-installed app or try to fix your bricked router. Yes, I am looking for job/work.

Go to System -> USB storage

Isn't it obvious?
You need to be running newer versions of Gargoyle though. This is only added in recent versions of Gargoyle.

I have last version but I don't have that option. Does it only appears when you have a router with USB capacity? Or when there's an USB device attached to it?

As far as I know, the option is there whether you have USB port or not.

Nope, I don't have that option in my TP-Link TL-WR740N/ND v4

Using GG 1.6

Do you have "plugin-gargoyle-usb-storage" installed?
if not, that is why...

this router doesn't have USB. I just posted that as an example that it's not default in gargoyle. I will update my other router which has usb port and see if usb comes by default. Are you saying that the plugin must be manually installed always?
