MyOpenRouter - KWGR614 Router (Legacy Product)

my KWRG614...my curse

svenlaken — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 05:56:50 GMT

hello there, I've bought this router like 1 years ago. At first i decided to test it with the regular firmware and here comes troubles... I always got the same error message in the log [IP Spoofing][Deny access policy matched, dropping packet] i tried everything in the settings to be sure that it comes from the firmware. So i decided to build my own firmware...to be clear i've never succeed to compile one of my own. i've tried to build one using the source of DD-WRT, Open WRT, Tomato, in fact i've tried to put the driver of the two realtek chipset ( rtl8651b and rtl8185L) in the /linux/driver/ folder, then i tried to put the 2 news directory in the Makefile...and compile again and again. well i hope one day someone is going to make a nice firmware for our still loved KWGR614. mail me if something like that append or if you have clues. see you later

I wonder where is the start point in KWGR614 router.

Hello. I downloaded the opensource code(KWGR614_V1.0.1_10.18KO_src.tar) about kwgr614. but there are many modules. So It's difficult to find the start point. What is the name of file which is first executed when router of kwgr614 turn on?

Blocking the Internet with NETGEAR Routers

BrandonC — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 22:02:15 GMT

After I set up my new KWGR614 open source router, I thought it was time to add in our "No Internet after 9:00 PM" rule for one of the kids. I wanted to see if it was as easy to set up as my old router, and how the KWGR614 would handle it. After looking around a bit, I decided the best way to do this was to block port 80 to the kids' machine after 9:00PM. To surf the web, you need port 80 open on most machines and setups. If that port is closed, you cannot get to the internet. To do this, I went into the router setup and clicked on the 'Block services" tab, then "Add." I then typed in the address of the kids machine, and used the drop down box to select "web server (T80)" It looked like this. I clicked on "Accept" and was brought back to the "Blocked Services" screen. Once there, I selected "Per Schedule" and then "Apply". Now, it was saved in the router. Next. I had to set up the schedule on which I would allow the machine to surf the internet. I clicked on the "Schedule" tab and...

KWGR614 Throughput

I decided to perform a performance test from WAN to LAN, and I must say that I'm very impressed of the upstream capacity. My router performed more than 10 MB/s from WAN to LAN (upstream), but only 700 KB/s from WAN to LAN (downstream). Is that normal, or can I do something about it? My router has firmware V1.0.1_10.17WW preinstalled from the factory.

Can I import KWGR614 config into my WGR614L

BrandonC — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 02:03:09 GMT

So, I just got my new WGR614L router. It would save me a lot of time if I can import the settings from my KWGR614 into it. Has anyone tried this? Is it possible?

2.6 on the KWGR614

plasmaroo — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 08:54:43 GMT

So I bought this router (and just a few weeks before it got EOL'd!) with the assumption that it would do the job I wanted (route packets) and if it didn't I could easily hack it. Unfortunately it didn't really do the job of routing packets that well at all (the DNS hijacking "feature" constantly kept locking up the router every few hours). I was pretty disappointed that the supplied Netgear kernel version was (a) so old (b) full of binary blobs (c) a large legacy tree with no clean "patches" and decided that I would give a go and port 2.6.x to the KWGR614. My first version of the patch is here and you should be able to build a kernel image (see build.sh, you need the Realtek SDK installed) that boots and gives a working console (you need a suitable TTL to RS232 cable as mentioned in the router instructions). There's no MTD support yet so you need to build in an initramfs into the kernel image w/busybox. The (more) major problem with the above patch is that the network controller isn't supported yet. The source code for the network controller in the Netgear-shipped 2.4.x kernel is obsfucated...

KWGR614 - End of Product Life

The KWGR614 has reached the end of its product life. We will continue to have content available on the site. It will be succeeded by a new open source wireless router by NETGEAR, the WGR614L, which is extensively customizable and supports a whole array of third party firmwares.

Compile the source code from Netgear

Hi I have tried to compile the source code from Netgear but with no luck. Do I need to have some special tools to compile it? I have installed Bison and Flex because I got some errors about these two tools were missing. I'm using SUSE 10.3 and I have used the instructions in the source code manual from Netgear.
