Question

Hello. I would like to upload some alternative firmware to tp-link w8960n. I have this router in v6 version. I am not interested in the ADSL modem that is in it. I want to use it as an AP Client, I want to connect it with a LAN cable to Huaweia B315 to extend the range of the wifi network. Is...

Rather, you won't find anything on Broadcom to W8960N. For WA750RE, look for a Gargoyle or DD-WRT hardware version.

There is Gargoyle for WA-750 v1 so you will do it Client AP. Everything about the Gargoyle installation and the link to configure the wireless bridge -i-forward% C5% BAnikrepeater-na-gargoyle-en / With AP Clenta you do not turn on the Relay then you only have access via LAN or AP Client.

I found something here I will be doing this for the first time, could I ask for some step-by-step instruction?

OpenWRT is on it:

However, it is pure OpenWRT, a version without GUI, and generally "raj_se_sam".
Interesting fact for poker players, rather difficult to use for "blacksmith".
Act works.
But don't know Linux and OpenWRT!

TD-W8960N is a Broadcom platform! It has nothing to do with routers based on Atheros processors !!!

jimasek · Answer

Take into account that OpenWRT does not need to have a graphical interface but only to be managed by the console. Do you have WA750REv there .... ????

Karaczan · Answer

For WA750RE, colleague Cezary compiles firmware: firmware

Sztandar18 · Answer

I have this version I would prefer a web interface, but if it is not nice to configure it as an AP Client through putty, but for that I would need some information on how to do it.

You got everything on the tray, including the link to the Gargoyle file on this WA-750 v1, which you have so what else are you looking for? How little is Gargoyle installation instead of OFW

Karaczan · Answer

Because it has a very small flash (4MB) you do not install to it neither the MC (derivative of Norton Commander, for jumping through directories), nor the Nano editor.
Skipping through directories with linux commands, and the Vi editor.

If you want to have fun, read about them, especially about Vi. Because it is not easy to use (at least for me) ...

What about this? I understand from the content of this blog that these are gui images?

jimasek · Answer

Do you have Gargoyle from Obsego what your colleagues gave above so why combine? Download and install as an update. Gargoyle from Obse has a web interface in Polish.

Karaczan · Answer

Since Obsy / Cezary created Gargoyle for this device, there is no point in combining anything else! Download, upload and enjoy.

jimasek · Answer

It remains only to confirm and act buddy @ Sztandar18 , we are waiting for positive information from you.

Sztandar18 · Answer

Ok, but before uploading, how to return to the original firmware? Just update from gargoyle?

jimasek · Answer

Yes, but without a bootloader -

matek451 · Answer

After all, what is your FW now on this WA-750 and why do you want to go back to the original FW?

makosuu · Answer

This sentence puzzles me. AP Client connects to other APs via wifi and gives Internet access to LAN ports. And you want to connect it with a router cable so it should be a normal AP. And for ordinary AP you will have enough firmware from TP-Link. So where do you see the problem?

Sztandar18 · Answer

Problem solved, I was reluctant to combine with gargoyle, I bought AP.
