TP-Link Archer C7 v5 US lan leds wont blinking

Post by marcusopuma »

Hi, i bought one new c7 v5 and i have flashed the last gargoyle version, "gargoyle_1.12.0-ar71xx-generic-archer-c7-v5-squashfs-factory.bin" but lan led wont blinks. Tried to flash again, gargoyle_1.12.0-ar71xx-generic-archer-c7-v5-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin", did factory reset, but nothing worked.

At this moment, i really like to use the stock firmware on it but dont find in any place a stripped stock firmware from my device. Can anyone help me please?

:idea: I solve it as follows:
1. I install OpenWrt using a *.sysupgrade file
without maintaining the settings.
2. I set the required behavior of LEDs via GUI.
3. I back up the /etc/config/system file via SSH - there are also LED configurations.
4. I will install Gargoyle using a *.sysupgrade file without preserving the settings.
5. extract the LED section from the file and paste it back into the /etc/config/system file.
Just as an example!:

Code: Select all

config led
	option default '0'
	option name 'QSS'
	option sysfs 'tp-link:green:qss'
	option trigger 'netdev'
	option dev 'wlan0'
	option mode 'link tx rx'
6. I restart the router and the LEDs should work according to my settings from OpenWrt.
