Description

Gargoyle is an interface for small, widely available routers such as the Linksys WRT54G series and the La Fonera. It provides functionality above and beyond what the default software provides including sophisticated dynamic DNS, quality of service, and bandwidth monitoring tools.

Gargoyle's primary goal is to provide a polished interface for these advanced tools that is at least as easy to configure as any existing firmware. Gargoyle is based on top of the most recent Kamikaze release of the OpenWrt firmware, but unlike other Web interfaces for OpenWrt it places a strong focus an usability and is meant for average users, not just power users.

WARNING: If you make a mistake installing this software, it is possible to permanently disable your router, effectively turning it into a brightly colored brick. Bricked routers aren't very useful -- you can use one to beat someone about the head or as modern art, but that's about it.

Please be comfortable with this risk BEFORE you install this software. Right now, take a minute, and ask yourself: If my $100 router bites the big one, will I...

(A) Sit down, take a deep breath, and go looking for a replacement router? (B) Use the contact page on this site to send over 50 emails filled with lots of naughty words? (C) Seek out the personal details of every person ever associated with Gargoyle, obtain enough weaponry to take on a platoon of Marines and hunt them all down like animals? (D) Contact the local art museum and ask them if they would be interested in purchasing a new modern art exhibit for the low, low price of $12,500?

If you answered (A) or (D) proceed with the installation. If you answered (B) reconsider. If you answered (C), seek help.
