It didn't work for me going straight from DD-WRT, so I flashed it back to the stock firmware. Then I tried upgrading to Gargoyle from the stock web interface but it wouldn't recognize the firmware file when I clicked the 'Upgrade' button. I found out why later after trying some things with OpenWRT.
It ended up being that the gargoyle firmware filename was too long or maybe it didn't like some characters. I just renamed it to gargoyle-factory.bin and it finally took.
I wonder if that was my original problem when I was running DD-WRT from the start. Anyway, everything works now, and I'm running 'gargoyle1.5.9-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr841nd-v7-squashfs-factory.bin'. It's currently set up as an Access Point to supplement additional wireless coverage in my house on the far side away from my main router, a Linksys E3000 running DD-WRT r20453.

I had seen this link before. I know that it is supposed to be not supported. But in the following Topic they succeeded to make it (DD-WRT) works on the same model but V3 which it should be not supported too according to the referred link. So there is always a hope in this new year stlony DD-WRT Novice Joined: 01 Jan 2014 Posts: 6 Posted: Thu Jan 04, 2018 9:07 Post subject: Hi, So there is no hope to try any DD-WRT with this version of hardware?

Yes, it seems that this hardware is of no interest to anyone. At OpenWRT, you only find a wiki entry for version 4.
Seems that if you are not satisfied with the stock TP Link firmware, you will have to get rid of that device and buy a supported one.

Perhaps if you could tell us what is written on the large chip in your last two pictures. Unfortunately, the label is not legible. If it is a chip which is supported by other firmwares, perhaps a modification can be made.

I don't know of any MediaTek based routers that dd-wrt supports. It also uses an unpopular popular chip according to wikidevi.
If you still want to attempt to get support, provide a serial boot log (USB-TTL 3.3V). Before asking a question on the forums, update dd-wrt: I suggest reading it all. Some dd-wrt wiki pages are up to date, others are not. PM me if you find an old one, I am trying to update them.

For those owners who are Linux buffs, router enthusiasts, or simply want to try open source firmware - developer Tathagata Das has provided the community with an updated release. The new release, out December 2016, is based on OpenWRT 'Barrier Breaker' and offers WPA2 encryption and uPnP functionality to get you up and running quickly and securely. If you're familiar with DD-WRT, there are some differences with OpenWRT in terms of installation and setup. Here's how to get started. Step 1: Reset the R9000 to factory defaults This can be done easily, either in the Admin section of the stock NETGEAR firmware, or via the reset button on the back of the router. Step 2: Install OpenWRT Head over to the Administration section of the stock firmware and browse to the Update Firmware section.
Manually select the OpenWRT firmware file (.IMG extension). The firmware will alert you that the version is 'older' than what is currently installed; disregard the message and continue forward with installation. After installation, allow the router to reboot and settle for a few minutes while OpenWRT initializes. Step 3: Verify OpenWRT Login In your browser, navigate to your router directly (192.168.1.1) and verify that the OpenWRT screen pops up, indicating a successful installation.
At this point, it's advised to perform a 'hard reset' on the router using the button on the back of the unit, holding it in for 30 seconds. Step 4: Login and change your admin password After the reset is complete, login using the router address as noted in step 3. The default credentials for this version of OpenWRT are 'root:' and 'admin' respectively.

After this is complete, follow the prompts to change to a secure password, and click 'Save & Apply.' You can see the status of the change while it is processing; wait until it is complete before proceeding. Step 5: Configure basic settings At this point, the is ready to run with OpenWRT, but some basic settings should be modified. First, begin with the wireless settings.
This is one place where configuration is a bit different than DD-WRT. To begin, click on 'Network,' then 'Interfaces,' then 'WiFi.'
The available connections are listed as shown; note the 802.11ad hotspot is not supported in this version. Click 'Edit' next to each wireless connection, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. From these screens, the wireless channel can be selected, as well as the SSID, via the 'General Setup' tab in the bottom section. You can either make changes on the fly by clicking 'Save & Apply,' or queue the changes to be applied later. Then, head to the 'Wireless Security' tab to configure the desired security method as well as the password, and save and apply.
If you are using custom DNS servers, these can be set up via Network - Interfaces - LAN as shown above. UPnP can be enabled via Services - uPnP. Again, as with the other settings noted above, save & apply will process the changes immediately. If you've queued any changes, make sure to apply them. (Note that the above screenshot is utilizing a different OpenWRT theme: this firmware comes with two available to start.) Assuming all has gone well, the is up and running for general use; we've been running our tests here for a week with absolutely no issues at all! Have fun with OpenWRT on your NETGEAR!
The documentation talks about this but does not, as best I can determine, tell exactly how to do it. In one place it is specific, but that section doesn't apply to the broadcom type of router, and requires the use of 'FON', which I can't run because it wants a dll I don't have 'wpcap.dll' I would like to install the Gargoyle 'packages' on top of DD-WRT version v24-sp2 (10/10/09), which is already installed on my ASUS WL500gP V2. I actually also bought one of Eric's mini routers, but I need both wireless and wired connections, so I don't see a way to make it work in my situation.
Thanks for any help you may be able to offer. Jim Frisby Alaska. I think you should be able to flash this build in the download section: gargoyle1.3.9-brcm-2.4-squashfs.trx You should be able to flash right from the DD-WRT gui. I am NOT sure whether or not USB will be enabled for your router. Luckily it looks like the new ASUS routers are really hard to brick You can always do the recovery and reload DD-WRT if Gargoyle doesn't work 100% for you - might have to wait for newer versions. Your router has very similar specs to the WRT-54G-TM I used to flash from DD-WRT - Gargoyle back and forth and was able to do it from the GUI all the time. I tried installing gargoyle1.3.9-brcm-2.4-squashfs.trx using the DD-WRT firmware upgrade, but it immediately failed saying the file was not correct.

Researching the DD-WRT documentation, I noticed that the DD-wrt upgrade files are named.bin. I renamed gargoyle1.3.9-brcm-2.4-squashfs.trx to gargoyle1.3.9-brcm-2.4-squashfs.bin and tried that. Epiphone serial number identification lookup.
After a while, the Gargoyle login prompt appeared. All seemed well, until I tried turning on the wireless.
I was able to configure everything, including ebabling 'broadcast ssid', but it apparrently didn't work, because my computers could never 'see' the network. I would like to get this to work with the wireless, however I think I can get by this way, because I changed my old belkin router to a wireless access point and plugged it in to the ASUS Gargoyle router. If anyone has a suggestion about how to get the wireless on the ASUS to work, I would like to know.
Maybe I should not have installed the 'experimental' version?? Thanks Jim Frisby Alaska. Thanks again. I re-flashed the router with the ASUS firmware, and the radio didn't work there either, so that's probably a hardware issue. I then put the stable version on, it acted the same way as the experimentel version. I noticed that the graphs show a 'page error' when accessed with IE8 and no graphs appear, but work fine with Google Chrome. I have yet to, but plan to look at the page source and see if I can spot what is happening with IE8.
I tried 'compatibility' mode on IE8, but no improvement.
