This is an old revision of the document!


Here are step-by-step instructions for the non technical person who wants to install Gargoyle on a Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH.

Taking a factory stock Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH router and upgrading it to Gargoyle

Used the Buffalo setup to switch from the “user friendly” firmware to the Buffalo factory default “Professional” firmware (DD-WRT)

Logged into DD-WRT at 192.168.11.1 and set a new password and wrote it down.

Installed Telnet on Windows 7 from control panel.

Opened Telnet and entered:

o 192.168.11.1

promted for user name and password

used “root” for user name (regardless of user name specified when instaling DD-WRT)

used the password I set when configuring DD-WRT above

After successful login, copied and pasted these commands to telnet

cd /tmp

wget http://www.gargoyle-router.com/download … pgrade.bin

{after the wget commant, the screen showed a download progress bar and then completion}

mtd -e linux -r write gargoyle_1.3.14-ar71xx-wzr-hp-g300nh-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin linux

{after mtd command, screen showed several commands, then nothing for a long time. Be patient. Finally, the screen said “lost connection”}

Gargoyle changed the default IP address to 192.168.1.1

Opened a browser and entered 192.168.1.1

Got the Gargoyle login screen. The default password is “password”

Changed the Gargoyle password. All ready to configure and use!
