Hi, I today tested my brand new WGR614-L and I have managed to immediately brick it. I was a bit disappointed with the functionality in the factory firmware, so I downloaded a dd-wrt package dd-wrt-mor.v24-9281.zip and uploaded dd-wrt.v24-9281_mor_NEWD_SF_mini.chk through the firmware upgrade gui, which according to the readme.txt is the one for upgrading from Netgear firmare.

Now, the router just sits there with the test led blinking, which according to the manual mean that the firmware is corrupt and the box is in tftp mode. I have tried to connect via tftp, I am not sure whether it is actually possible. I have read elsewhere, that the WGR614-L can only be unbricked via serial console. I dearly hope that this is not entirely true as the whole procere involdes brazing and other things i am not good at.

However, my attempts to try whether tftp actually works got as far as opening a tftp connection to the router, which produced no output, i.e. no error message. I wonder whether that means it worked or not. However, I am lost here, I want to restore the official firmware, but I have no idea where to find it. Netgear seems to offer no downloads, and the download section here is something I have my difficulties understanding. 

Sorry if my questions sound dump, I really do not want to make stupid mistakes at this point....

 Thanks a lot in advance for any hints...
