Hi geramy,
The firmware available on this site are meant for WGR614v8 ... with v7 you have only 2MB of flash and I am not sure if it will be sufficient to run firmwares like OpenWRT , DD-WRT etc .... may be this is why you dont have firmware builds for V7 available here ....
For client mode issue u can try this with default netgear firmware availbale to your WGr614v7 .... I dnt have a WGR614v7 but I think these features should be supported in netgear firmware and u might not have to create a new firmware for ur
purpose ...
Categories: WGR614L (Legacy Product)
I have a WGR614v7 and i know it has atheros 51xx/2317 chipset 2mb flash rom 8mb vram it is telnet capible of enabling it i wanted to know if the client mode on this router works when i go to that mode the test/check mark simble flickers when its off it doesnt and i heard i have to make a new firmware so if i have people that would like to help me go ahead its going to free to the world. thanks for helping me. or if anyone knows how to make client or bridge mode work please bring it to my attention people at the netgear forums wont give answers at all they wont give support nothing to this and i am no sure why if atheros is so common in routers and computers it should be easy to make a firmware

You may need to create a JTAG Cable to flash it. My WGR614v7 has ben running DD-WRT for about a year now. I do not quite remember how I did it but it works great. Some how I converted it to a Wireless a/b/g/n Router.

OK ... glad to know that WGR614v7 also supports DD_WRT ... If it z so then problem of Geramy is solved ...
He can start his WGR614v7 with default Netgear firmware and subsquently do a f/w upgrade using its GUI to flash DD-WRT .... No need to have a JTAG cable ....
JTAG cable is needed when u r not able to get the board going ... If the board is booting up OK ..we can simply use its GUI or serial console (if u have one) to upgrade the f/w ...
Hope it helps ....

The 2Mb Atheros flash will not be enough, there is never any support for limited flash on Atheros devices, minimum you must have on Atheros is 4Mb, and even then your getting dangerously close to non functioning because netgear uses some of the flash ram on the router itself to store info (in this case red boot instead of CFE)

I recently bough a nice ipac 9302 Dev kit If anyone would like to help me make a firmware that has a little more then the default one offers I am sure I could get you a device that is if you are qualified enough to help with this the firmware is mostly C with some mixture of other crap that the company that made it put together I am working on getting tech specs of each and every component on the board mostly everything works as is except no support for usb host and the SD card slot but there is control over the devices SPI or SIP I forget the exact term.
