Install on Slboat WR703N with Barrier Breaker

Post by Petergunn »

I have a Slboat modded TP-Link WR703N that currently running Barrier Breaker. AFAIK this is just the same as a regular WR703N but with more RAM and Flash. Would it be possible to flash Gargoyle (1.7?) directly on top of this?

Thanks

PG :D

Yes. But it will be missing a few things because it thinks it only has 4mb of flash to play with.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot (probably at when I have time at the weekend). This is the modded WR730N with 16Mb flash and 64Mb ram.

Off the top of my head you'll definitely be missing USB support.

Flashed 1.7.1 on my modded WR703n using OpenWRT Luci interface. Flash worked as expected and Gargoyle sees 64Mb RAM and 16Mb Flash.

I would like to set up the router as a 'universal repeater' so that I can connect to an AP and re-serve on a new SSID. wr703n only has one antenna but this was possible on OpenWRT if I used the same channel for both APs.

Am I correct in thinking that Gargoyle doesn't support this?

Thanks

Yay. It worked. Now I need to figure out how to install OpenVPN and see if I can route the client traffic through the tunnel. :-)

Im probably doing something completely noobish here...

Code: Select all

root@Gargoyle:/# opkg list | grep openvpn
collectd-mod-openvpn - 4.10.8-3 - OpenVPN traffic/compression input plugin
openvpn-easy-rsa - 2013-01-30-2 - Simple shell scripts to manage a Certificate Authority
openvpn-nossl - 2.3.6-2 - Open source VPN solution using plaintext (no SSL)
openvpn-openssl - 2.3.6-2 - Open source VPN solution using OpenSSL
openvpn-polarssl - 2.3.6-2 - Open source VPN solution using PolarSSL
plugin-gargoyle-openvpn - 1.7.1-1 - OpenVPN Support for Gargoyle

Code: Select all

root@Gargoyle:/# opkg install plugin-gargoyle-openvpn
ERROR: Dependency openvpn of package plugin-gargoyle-openvpn cannot be found, try updating your package lists
Whats the recommended way to install Gargoyle OpenVPN support?

Thanks

Bump.

Any ideas? I think the barrier breaker package is called openvpn-openssl. Is there some way I can get the gargoyle package to use that instead?

This does work either. The gargoyle plugin still refuses to install.
