DD-WRT to Gargoyle on a Netgear WNDR3300

[ssjaken]

Title says all.

I keep going over my monthly usage limits and quotas, and Gargoyle seems to be it.

I have a Netgear WNDR3300 with DD-WRT already on it.

It's stats:

Chipset: Broadcom4704
RAM: 16MB
Flash: 4MB

Now when I flashed DD-WRT to it, the instructions said to keep any firmware under a certain limit, the wiki said:

Review the firmware file size you plan to use - it should be under ~3648kb

Although the router has 4mb of flash, no one has defined the maximum firmware size you can use. Based on the OpenWRT wiki, the max you can load should be 3735552 bytes or about 3648kb (the available partition size for linux and rootfs combined which equal what the firmware is). Some routers may have larger flashable space for firmware, however, the WNDR3300 is slightly smaller than other 4mbit Broadcom units due to the flash partitioning from the manufacturer.

With that being said, does anyone here think I can safely flash Gargoyle?
If so, can I just upload the .trx file to it and it will work?

OR

If not, does anyone know of a way I can limit usage for my entire home network? A script for DD-WRT perhaps?

Thanks everyone!

Back to stock then Gargoyle would be the safe way to

I tried flashing gargoyle_1.6.2-brcm47xx-squashfs.trx from DD-WRT, on a WNDR3300, and ended up with a brick. (power led flashing)
I had to do a TFTP to return back to DD-WRT.

I have not found a way to have gargoyle running on this AP, neither I know if it will work with both wifis, so I am back using dd-wrt.

For anyone interested, the firmware downloads from dd-wrt site, do work but the generic ones do not detect the second wifi, so I suggest going for build 15230
