Previous Thread
There has been a discussion in the "New DD-WRT Firmware Available" thread about the same topic. I and a couple of others "semi-bricked" our WGR614 NA units trying to go to 10700.
See the following:
http://www.myopenrouter.com/forum/thread/10548/New-DD-WRT-Firmware-Available/
Your best bet is to look for the "How to Switch Firmwares..." thread:
http://www.myopenrouter.com/article/10496/How-To-Switch-Firmwares-on-the-NETG...
At the end, Eko documents how to clear the 10509 version. You need to be prepared to tftp the new version to your router.
Telnet into your 10509 router.
Type the following:
erase linux
reboot
hold down the reset button for 15-30 seconds. The power led will start blinking. Statically set your IP on your PC to 192.168.1.2 (255.255.255.0)
The router will answer a ping at 192.168.1.1 with a TTL of 100.
Then tftp the software to the router.
Good luck!

Hello
I'm a new Netgear "WGR 614v8(ww) User from Germany.
Thanks the Community and Elko to the great Work to run dd-wrt on Netgear Opensource Router.
My simple Questions:
I have flashed my original Firmware to build dd-wrt.v24-10509_NEWD_std_small_wgr614v8-L.chk
How can i upgrade from build 10509 to dd-wrt.v24-10700_NEWD_std_small_wgr614v8-L.chk
The runing GUI Upgrade write: wrong fileformat.
Is the Suffix *.ckk not right for European (ww) Router?
What file from eko is correct for upgrade with the GUI?
Thanks a lot..
greetings teamworker
I forgot to add....
10776 is the version several of us have stepped to. There were some bugs in 10700 that Eko corrected.
Path to the files are in the other thread noted above.
Tim
Thanks Tim,
one more Question:
What file suffix can i use for my 614v8 ww Router?
*.chk or *.bin
Can build 10776 new updates by the GUI?
Thanks for short Answer
I used the .chk for mine in the steps above.
After you get a good .chk file running and you can hit the router with a web browser, then you can use .bin files to upgrade to future revisions of software.

Ok, i try dd-wrt.v24-10700_NEWD_std_small_wgr614v8-L.chk file with tftp on my European 614Lv8 ww Router.
Ok, reboot, pefect runing!
Then i load the dd-wrt.v24-10776_WGR614v8-L_std_small.bin with the Web GUI to upgrade.
sec..sec.. reboot, router runing in tftp-mode and stop at this point.
Why?
Can european WW (not NA) router really use the *.bin files for upgrades?
I put 10700.chk back with tftp and....ohhh....ok is runing ^^
Edit!....answer my self
I read from eko:
.bin files are for GUI upgrade once already running dd-wrt - but note that this doesn't work for European (WW) version - it will put router into tftp mode after reboot. Please use .chk file to tftp it in this case.
greetings teamworker
