Hi

I been a user of gargoyle for years. For the first time, I bricked a brand new Archer C7 with only 1 hour of used :oops: :oops: . I don't know how to unbricked it. I have a TTL/Serial cable. What would be the my next step?

And I was upgrading from 1.7.x to 1.7.1 without preserve setting. I had it working but I couldn't figure out why I could not configure the 5GHz.

:oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

I'm able to telnet to my router using the 30/30/30 process. What's next?

It look's I'm talking to my my self.... But I fix it. Did the 30/30/30 procedure and the router came up with the status light blinking very fast. Set my ip to 192.168.1.139. After that I was able to telnet in the rooter. Started a web server on my pc and did a 'sysupgrade http://192.168.1.39/xxxxx.bin' and voila :P :P :P :P :P :P now if I could get the 5ghz working it would be perfect. But just having my router back to life is a big relief.
