Hi all,
I got my hands on a tp-link for $20 and loaded gargoyle, all was find and I could like in and access the modem. I could only connect via a cable. I then changed in the basic config from gateway to wireless\bridge and now I cannot access the model at all.
Any help would be great as I'm not all the flash with modems...
thanks
me

What version did you load.
You can use failsafe reset to put it back to default.
Google "openwrt failsafe"

Hi, thanks you for the reply, I loaded this one:
gargoyle_1.9.0-ar71xx-generic-tl-wdr3600-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade
I'm not sure if that's was the failsafe version or not
reg,

If this was a fresh install you should have installed the Factory version.
All versions include failsafe.
