Last Week i purchase a WGR614L, yesterday i had tried to upgrading my router with the tomato firmware. The Problem is while the upload, my browser shows me a error "network failed" Now the powerlight of my router is blinking the checklight is orange a green 4 and nothing else. I´d tried to connect with 192.168.1.1 or routerlogin.com/net. I tried "Switch Firmwares on the NETGEAR WGR614L Without A Serial Cable" but i can´t enable ssh, http://192.168.1.1/Services.asp is also unreachable. Reseting with this screwdriver-button on the back makes nothing better. Is my router ready for the trash? I hope not! Please, can anybody help me?

So got to its web config utility @ 192.168.0.1 only after connecting to it wireless. Tried configuring the router with ADSL modem to set up home LAN with internet facility but was not entirely successful. In the mean time, did a quick search on net and thought to upgrade the firmware and did the huge mistake. http://www.oswave.com/mediawiki/index.php/Guide_upgrade_DIR-300 Since there was no access to web config utility by wired interface, I chose to use the wireless interface to perform part one (DIR-300_to_OSWave_Intermediary_Firmware.bin) of the firmware upgrade state in the above link and it did perform accordingly. However, post that upgrade there was no wireless signal and since i was not able to connect to the router with wired interface, I am not able to do anything more. Current status: I can connect devices on LAN port and get it DHCPed by the incoming WAN from ADSL modem. But no wireless and there is no way i can get to web config page. Is there any way i can connect to my router config utility using wired interface? Thanks...

I eventually realized that port forwarding was no working properly. I wanted to reset the router and try to configure it again. After resetting it I seem to have lost it completely. I have tried every combination of holding the reset and powering on and off. At one point while trying to ping the router at 192.168.1.1 I got 2 packets through.

I've tried the command line TFTP in windows: tftp -i 192.168.1.1 PUT wgr614v8_1_1_11_6_0_36_na.chk when i do this, i see the tftp write message go to the router in my packet sniffer, but no connection ensues.

Router's LAN IP is 192.168.1.1 PC's LAN IP is 192.168.1.2 both are plugged into a hub so my windows NIC doesn't go to sleep when I power cycle the router.

I am assuming I am in for some bit banging over the JTAG at this point. Does anyone have any pointers to the pin out, and preferably the correct image to upload? I would also like to work out where I went wrong! I downloaded the source code for the Independent Firmware Build (4.139.6.2) and the tool chan (for the v8) from netgears main site. After a little fiddling (paths broken etc) I managed to get it to build. I then followed the instructions in Nachi's blog about Firmware Image Creation (given that I have seen that the european version required the lzw images). I am in the process of adding sorting out the console - not that I expect to see anything! Any help would be greatly appreciated!! D.

Currently, I have DD-WRT installed on my router, with uPnP enabled. I am attempting to use Back to my Mac, a service provided by Apple in their .Mac service, which uses a complicated system of verification to communicate between computers with your .Mac login. Apple states that it should work with routers that have uPnP enabled. I have a MacBook and a Mac mini, both Intel. I've read a lot about it on the web, and have found that some folks have had luck with opening ports on their router. (BTMM requires TCP port 443 and UDP port 4500 to be open). However... if you're opening ports, I don't think you're taking advantage of what BTMM is supposed to do. You shouldn't *need* to expose those ports on your router to solve the issue, if it's working - I thought uPnP just happened. (It is not adjustable in the DD-WRT firmware; it states that uPnP allows applications to set automatically.) I tried this anyway, along with disabling the firewalls on both computers, using internal and external IP's, opening the ports in both the port range forwarding and single port forwarding...
