Hi,

I would like to update my TP-LINK router with the required firmware from this link:

http://www.gargoyle-router.com/download.php

However I am not sure which file I should use.

Please can someone advise me?

My router is a TP-Link TD W8961N.

Many thanks

Not looking good :-(

I can find no ref to your router at OpenWRT (Gargoyle is built on OpenWRT)

There is a router with a similar model TP-Link TD-W8960N
http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/td-w8960n
https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=179455

But even that one does not appear to be supported properly yet

Hi,

Thank you for looking at the options.

Can you suggest a standard router that would work with OpenWRT?

Hi nworbnhoj,

Thank you so much for taking the time to advise me and offer the suggestion of the router you are using.

I will invest in one of those and then install the required fields.

Many thanks :D

Sorry for bumping a dead thread, however I want to notify that I have this router, and I intend to publish a WikiDevi page for it once I have all the basic hardware details squared away.

That said, this router utilizes a Ralink RT63365E SoC, 8MB of SDRAM, and 2MB of storage, so while hardware support is possible, the specs are too low for any Wrt/Wrt-based firmwares.

It is really a museum piece and OpenWrt and Gargoyle no longer support the router. :D

If you want to use ADSL technology, configure your modem as "bridge" and use a more powerful and supported router for it.

Thanks, I see someone had already published the specs, odd that I could not find it myself.
At least I'll be able to verify it myself, and add details if necessary.

Thanks, but no need. I'm using a Netgear DM200 on OpenWrt and a custom modem firmware that supports vectoring on VDSL2, as well as a Xiaomi Mi 3G for the main wireless network (when I'll have time, I intend to flash on it X-Wrt (not the old well known one, this one is basically OpenWrt Snapshot with LuCI preinstalled), and a Xiaomi Mi 3 as the extender (I need to reflash X-Wrt when I have the time, as I did not flash it properly, which prevents me from upgrading the system image).

Thanks, I had already updated the flash chip brand and model on the 3.x page (I have the 3.1 model).
