Gargoyle Forum

Hello all.

I have just tried to upgrade the firmware on my WNDR3700v1 to the latest released by ispyisail on 26 April.

After downloading, unpacking, etc and clicking Upgrade Now with Preserve Settings ticked, I get the Uploading Firmware dialogue box with the spinning dots. Unfortunately this dialogue box stays on the screen and nothing else happens, the upgrade does not proceed and after some time I close the Browser and Gargoyle is normal, though not upgraded. I am currently running the build previously released by ispyisail, Built 20150318-1801 git@5184093.

Any ideas?

after a long period reboot "router" and 'PC" then retry.

If that fails

goto "failsafe reset"

failing that you need to go to a serial cable

AP mode not working on old atheros boxes like fonera.
Client mode works,but unstable.

Hello and thanks for your suggested approaches. I have tried the failsafe reset and it did not help. I still can not update the firmware. Following is a copy of the failsafe Telnet session. Is there something I need to do differently?

switching to overlay

If i have done this correctly and it has not helped, how do I use the serial cable. I have no serial connection on the WNDR3700. Alternatively is there a file or setting I can change using WinSCP to solve this problem?

try without

Now with Preserve Settings

Is their a problem with WiFi using 5ghz. Got a netgear 3700v2, upgraded to 1.71 thought I would try 5ghz and on a speediest I barely hit 1mb, on 2.4 I get 11 mb (I know that's about all I get here )

There have been reports of problems

Eric has done tests but can't locate the problem. If fact it works fine for him?

Or so I'm lead to believe?

Hi one thing you could try is flash back to latest OEM firmware and then flash back to 1.7.1 It's just a punt in the dark tho good luck!

Guys
Is possible to Guest network not be MAC filtered?
I have MAC filter switched on for my home SSID. When I try Guest network I must switch off MAC filtering for my home SSID to work Guest network.
