Greetings guys

Hopefully posting in the right place.
Purchased a GL AR-150 router recently and got a chance to load Gargoyle 1.10.0 today.
Set it up as a gateway,with the local ip address of 192.168.1.253
the modem is .254 and internet is working as it should,however im not able to navigate nor ping .254

Does anyone have an idea of what i need to do to access this?
Maybe something to do with routing,but i have no idea

Thanks!
 
Interesting products from GL.iNet -- never knew about them.
Seems like Gargoyle is employing the hardware as a switch rather than a router... what are you using as a "modem"?

I learnt about them recently myself.Got it off Amazon for +- R400 with the external antennae.

Using a billion N7300 modem.
The thing is,everything else works.Get out on the internet and can ping every other device on the network except the modem.

I tried setting s static route destination: 192.168.1.254/255.255.255.0 to 192.168.1.2 but as the settings applied,it changed itself from dest .254 to .0 then i could no longer access the device.
Fortunately theres a built in failsafe i could use to reload the firmware and start from scratch.
I know the failsafe is there but im hesitant to mess with routing if its going to lock me out of the router
 
Could it be that you're not routing properly? Disclaimer: I know next to nothing about this but have learned that you can't have cascaded routers on the same IP range; learned about this when doing setups and have new/client router jacked into existing network with my main router and it doesn't do to, say, have both on 10.0.0.1; have to have main on 10.0.0.1 and new on 10.1.1.1 to get everything accessible and the new one routing.

Also this is my Gargoyle on a TP-Link that runs network from, well, a (ha) 'router' in the form of a B618 (hateful thing has NO management tools!). The Huawei is (forced, you have no choice) on 192.168.* and the TP-Link is on 10.0.0.1.

Thats it!
Changed the Gargoyle IP address to 192.168.2.1 and could access 1.254 immediately.
All down to routing as you said.

Thanks man,really helps

Hey, I'm having the weirdest issues here myself with Gargoyle. I've just installed it on my TP-Link Archer C7 V2 and it appears fine but there's no routing between LAN/WAN .
If I SSL into the router, I can ping anything - DNS and routing works fine at the shell. Resolution is working fine from my LAN clients, but routing not. It's the weirdest thing.

I have a B618 with IP 192.168.253.1 and connected to the WAN port.
The router is at 192.168.254.1
Routing tables look like this:

Any idea what I could be missing?
I'm up for looking at config files via shell if required.

Cheers!
