| 1400683 | 2015-06-15 07:01:00 | Chilling: have noticed the old Netcomm router starting to get hot and needs the odd reboot, about once a week... In the name of highly likely/almost definite upgrade, I just want to confirm a couple of things: Recommended router is: DrayTek Vigor DV130 ADSL/VDSL Modem Router,VDSL2/A ? Wireless: TP-Link TL-WR1043ND (v2) ? Firmware upgrade for Wireless: www.gargoyle-router.com So the firmware install seems basic enough, what about the actual configuration of the wireless? I have never touched Gargoyle before. |

| 1400685 | 2015-06-16 10:07:00 | Wireless config is easy enough, like dead simple. The v2 is best hardware-wise for the 1043ND. If you're feeling like you want 5Ghz then go the WDR4300, but the TL-WR1043ND is still fine and I still run that even though I've had a few WDR4300's myself. Basically, to flash the firmware, just load up the WebUI, hit "Upgrade Firmware", flash the gargoyle-*-factory.bin You MAY need to rename the firmware file to just "gargoyle.bin" coz it sometimes isn't happy if the filename is too long. Otherwise, good luck! :D |

| 1400686 | 2015-06-18 09:35:00 | +1 for tplink 1043nd v2 and gargoyle, make sure it is version2 (they look different) as the v1 was good but is limited at faster than 100mbit wan connections. V2 is alot more powerful and way better wan to lan throughput. |

| 1400687 | 2015-06-27 06:21:00 | Opted to follow Chills advice and went with the DrayTek Vigor DV130 ADSL/VDSL Modem Router,VDSL2/A and TP-Link TL-WR1043ND (v2). Upgraded firmware to Gargoyle, everything all set up fine. Did have initial issues trying to do the setup from my Linux computer until I realised that all it needed was a reboot (unusual but easy enough to do). I did most of the setup from SWMBO Win7 comp until I sorted the Linux issue out Cheers :) |
