Manual System

System Settings

Four smaller pages that round out router administration.

System → Time

• Current Date & Time — a read-only live clock, so you can confirm the router agrees with reality.
• Time Zone — your local time zone.
• Date Format / Time Format — how dates/times are displayed elsewhere in the UI (12/24-hour, and several date orderings).
• NTP Servers — pick a region (Global, United States, North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Oceania, or Custom) to auto-fill three time-server hostnames, or enter your own.

System → Themes

A single panel listing every installed theme as a selectable table — click one to apply it immediately. No other settings; if you want a theme that isn't listed, it needs to be installed as a package first.

Connection → Advanced

Despite living under the Connection section rather than System, this is really a grab-bag of advanced, hardware-dependent options. Panels only appear if relevant to your specific router — if none apply, you'll just see "No advanced settings available in your current configuration."

• Country (wireless regulatory domain) — auto-detected via GeoIP, but shown here for override. Comes with a strong warning: changing this from "World (Default)" can unlock extra channels, power levels, or channel widths, but must actually match your real jurisdiction — this is a regulatory setting, not a performance tweak to fiddle with casually.
• Create network interface to access upstream modem — if you're behind a separate modem in bridge mode, this creates a way to reach that modem's own admin page from your router.
• Share connected Wireless Client information to other Gargoyle routers on LAN — enables usteer, a roaming-coordination protocol that helps client devices hand off cleanly between multiple Gargoyle access points on the same network, rather than sticking stubbornly to a weak signal.
• Activate packet steering — Disabled / Enabled / Enabled (All CPUs), a performance option that spreads network packet processing across multiple CPU cores on hardware that has them.

System → Reboot

• Reboot — an immediate manual reboot button.
• Scheduled Reboot — set the router to reboot itself automatically every day, week, or month, at a chosen day/hour. Useful on lower-memory devices that benefit from a periodic clean restart. Implemented as a plain cron job under the hood.

Like backups and firmware updates, both manual and scheduled reboots use the same "please wait, reconnecting" polling pattern before the page reloads.
