Support for Asus RT-N66U

[softcoder]

I'm trying to get things working with the asus RT-N66U router. I've read many things in this forum and around google and here is my summary:

- ONLY the latest version of openwrt seems to work with this router (Barrier Breaker, I used this image: https://downloads.openwrt.org/barrier_b ... hfs-gz.trx )

Trying Attitutde adjustment does not work (and thus neither does the gargoyle 1.6.2 brcm image). Trying to install using:

src gargoyle http://gargoyle-router.com/packages/gar ... ackages.gz

does not work since it looks like some files have moved in the new openwrt. When can we get updated packages for barrier breaker so that I can try to install them on my openwrt (or could we get a native trx image for this router?) Is there a way i can compile the firmware myself (I have access to ubuntu 14.04 and windows 7 clients to compile the firmware if there are instructions).

P.S. This router is not easily brickable as you can always put it in recovery mode and flash a working firmware.

Thanks

Ok updated from git today with Eric's latest patches and at least now it compiles! I'll test out the image and see what happens.. thanks!

*Update: PROGRESS! Using the compiled image located in: /images/brcm47xx/gargoyle_1.7.x-brcm47xx-generic-squashfs.trx

I successfully flashed to my router and so far internet connection works from my clients connecting via gargoyle. VERY GOOD NEWS!

*UPDATE 2: With this generic image i don't seem to have working wifi. Though I enable it in the settings, I dont see it from client devices (And I see no errrors when running logread). Any clues as to why?

Any news? I am currently looking to buy a gargoyle-compatible router, and the RT-N66U seems to be a favorite on many tech review websites.
