I tried to install Syncthing on my router, but I got an error
> ./syncthing: line 1: syntax error: unexpected “(”
I tried searching for a solution but could not find it. The router is a TP-Link WDR3600 v1.2, with LEDE 17.01.4. The version of Syncthing I’m trying to install is 0.14.43.

Are you sure what you’ve downloaded is actually an executable? It looks like it might be a text file.

I download the syncthing-linux-mipsle-v0.14.43.tar.gz package and try to execute syncthing.

Just sayin’, `(` doesn’t tend to appear at the beginning of binary files. Just have a look at it.

Might be the wrong mips version or something as well.

I tried the MIPS processor versions, and they did not work.
