Download Firmware Gargoyle 1.6.0

Gargoyle is an open source alternative firmware for a variety of routers. It is therefore comparable to OpenWrt, on which it is also partly based. It is mainly fit for routers equipped with the Atheros AR71XX processor and to a lesser extent for routers with a Broadcom or Atheros AR231X/531X. Gargoyle has, among other things, extensive options for the monitor and limiting the bandwidth, placing quota and the to block from certain websites.

There are two downloads for each router. The first is for routers that still have the original firmware from the manufacturer, the other is for routers that already have a version of OpenWrt or Gargoyle. Version 1.6.0 of Gargoyle was released on Thursday and the release notes for this release can be found below.

Version 1.6.0

Version 1.5.x has been around for quite some time now, so it is time to transition to a stable release number, 1.6.0.

This release is primarily a bugfix release, and includes a new Norwegian translation by github user Protx (thank you!), and numerous fixes for the Polish and other translations. Additionally, support for the new TP-Link wr1043nd v2 has been introduced.

Right now you may notice there are no models for sale in the Gargoyle Router Shop. In the next week, I will be introducing three models, including one based on the updated version of the TP-Link WR1043ND v2, which has 64MB of memory, double that of the older versions. Additionally, I am introducing a new router based on the ALFA Hornet board which uses the atheros ar71xx architecture and has 64MB of memory and 16MB of flash, but with two ethernet ports (1 LAN and 1 WAN) port. Some of you may remember the Gargoyle Pocket Router, the first small router I sold on this site. The new model will be sold as the Gargoyle Pocket Router v2, as it is a very similar size as those older models, but much more powerful. The firmware for this router is already available along with the others in the downloads section.
