Is this a lost case? (tl-wdr4300)

Post by _Knight_ »

Well, i changed my MTU to manual and 1472 and hit the save button, my router was conecting to the internet and then, as soon as it conects, it reboots, it did this thing a lot of times until i realized what was going on and i turned it off. Now when i turn it on, i can't get to its main page because it reboots after 20secs i turn it on...

What could i do?

sorry for bad english...

That sounds like something a failsafe reset should fix.

It's not as scary/difficult as it seems. In general, disconnect your WAN cable, set your computer to 192.168.1.2 and connect to router. Unplug and plug power to router. When SYS light starts blinking, immediately press and hold reset or WPS button and SYS light should start blinking rapidly. If it didn't, restart and try again. Once that SYS light is blinking rapidly, telnet to 192.168.1.1 and Gargoyle text image should pop up. Then you can type firstboot and enter. Be patient until it finishes then restart.

What Gargoyle version were you running? If it wasn't one of the latest, you can always upgrade to 1.8.1 or 1.9.
QoS Tip: Don't complicate your QoS settings. Gargoyle evenly splits available bandwidth between active devices as needed. Just delete all your classification rules and leave only one normal service class and you're done. No more arguing over bandwidth.

What exactly did you do and what exactly isn't working?
