Sysupgrade.bin, but this 1.7 is a whole new version based on BB from OpenWrt, so if I where you, I would go back to stock first. check this link
ftp://tplink-forum.pl/orgin_bez_boot/ see if your model and version is there, contains bins without boot, if not you will have to strip the file.
Note: it's the way I would do it, might not be the right way, your router your decision on what way to chose.
Post outcome and the how to you did it.

I use factory to gargoyle to upgrade and success but some how as I forgot to do 30-30-30 before flash the firmware I'm found the problem that when im running gargoyle I can't reset to factory setting then I'm decide try to flash with sysupgrade. Then I'm still can't do factory reset from gui. I'm decide to use reset button.
After than I can't access router I though I'm broken it. But actually it just change ip and it same as main router.ip confit that all. Other thing that thing make me brick my router because wireless off by default. But after setting work like a charm
Thank you dev

never perform a 30 you might brick router, 30 is for Broadcom, 901 is Atheros chip

If your router responds to hard reset, do it, no prob. but never 30s on Atheros chip.
