Gargoyle Forum

So I'm looking to get a new router (not sure what brand yet) and use my old one, a WNDR3700v3, as a wireless repeater. I can set it up with ddwrt or openwrt, though I also see that there is a brcm47xx version of gargoyle available.

I have a few questions before I proceed with anything

1. Will the brcm47xx version of gargoyle (http://www.gargoyle-router.com/download ... uashfs.trx) with my WNDR3700v3?

2. If I have to use ddwrt or openwrt, and I set my WNDR3700v3 as the wireless repeater, will the bandwidth monitoring on Gargoyle work with those?

3. What router would you all suggest to get as my primary gargoyle router?

The bandidth monitoring only operates on the Gargoyle WAN interface - so I suspect not
(I have not used Gargoyle as a wireless repeater)

I am pretty happy with my TL-WDR3600. However, if you have a really high capacity connection then others have reported a need for more CPU

To rephrase I'd be using Gargoyle as my primary router firmware and using ddwrt/openwrt as the repeater.

I seem to think it would work however as all clients are routed through the primary router at some point, correct?

Kind of wish I had a backup router to use in the meantime and try that generic broadcom build.

And how much is high capacity? I'm looking to be running a 40D/10U connection soon while streaming/uploading a lot, is that too much?

40/10 should be fine even with all bandwidth monitoring features enabled.
