Hi.I want to instal gargoyle on Tplinkwr841nd ver9.1.There is an ver 1.7 image file for this Tplink version.But I encounter some difficulties in using DDNS I mentionedhere
which I don't experience it on version 1.6.
Is it safe to install another tplink version firmware of gargoyle1.6 on my version9 router or not?for example 841nd version8 firmware.

on 841nd v9.1 you can use this version (or newer) http://www.gargoyle-router.com/phpbb/vi ... =14&t=7044
I tested it with both 9.0 and 9.1 revision

I am not a developer, but based on my quick look at OpenWRT I would be reading the info carefully. However, it seems that @marrco has tested a particular Gargoyle build successfully with your exact version. That is good news!

If you run into trouble then a reecovery should be straight forward because you have a version of Gargoyle on your router already.

I would do the install the @marco suggests

That one is just a newer 1.71 build. In that forum (http://www.gargoyle-router.com/phpbb/viewforum.php?f=14) you can often find user contributed builds.

Thank you Marrco but my weird problem with DDNS start with 1.7 and its successor. :cry:
