HELP!!! I am in Japan, just purchased the Netgear WNDR3800 and a VPN blocking/modifier service but I need to have dd-wrt firmware on my new router in order to watch Ne+flix and access DLC on PSN & XBL.  I am NOT the most computer programming savvy person, so I need basic, step-by-step help on how to do these steps / what to do in order to use ddwrt firmware with this router.  MANY THANKS!!!

I just need help performing this part...

"To compile the source code for Netgear WNDR3800 follow the instructions below ....
i) export your toolchain path.
ii) cd dd-wrt/src/router
iii)make -f Makefile.wndr3800 configure all install

If everything goes well, firmware will be placed in "dd-wrt/src/router/image" directory having name "ddwrt-wndr3800.img"."

Has ANYONE performed this successfully on their wndr3800? THX!

I am able to compile the dd-wrt source code for WNDR3800.

First of all I want to inform that there is already a pre-compiled image for Netgear WNDR3800 is supplied within the package, but VPN support is not provided there. So, you have to enable this feature and recompile the source code.

To compile the sorce code you have to go through the steps mentioned in the README ...

i) "export your toolchain path." ---> To cross-compile your source code for WNDR3800 board, you need a cross-compiler. First step is to export the path of your corss-compiler.
ii) cd dd-wrt/src/router -- This is the second step. This command takes you to the router directory of dd-wrt distribution.
iii) make -f Makefile.wndr3800 configure all install ---> The final step of dd-wrt compilation. This command is used to compile the source code of dd-wrt.

After the compilation done successfully, your target image will be placed into "dd-wrt/src/router/image" directory having name "ddwrt-wndr3800.img". You will be able to boot your WNDR3800 router with this image.

Expand the FULL file to locate the img. Upgrade to the FULL img. Then you upgrade again to the BS img. So simple!!!
