WN Series Open Source Firmware

When I first connected this router (with the factory Netgear load), all lights were green.

Now, that I've loaded DD-WRT, my internet and check mark lights are yellow.

What is the check mark light, and why are both of these lights yellow?

 This seems like info that would be on this site, but I searched and couldn't find anything about the significance of these lights.

Thanks for any help!

Is it possible to use a standard RS232 serial cable with the console connection instead of the USB cable? I
had a DB9 serial header which I soldered to the board with the
appropriate TX/RX/GND config from the article that explains the USB cable.

At one
point it was working and I could see the board going through the boot
process, and the firmware I had uploaded was having an error, which
causes the router to reboot.

I just bought a WGR614v8 and am attempting to load tomato on it. I downloaded the zip from this site and am attempting to upload: tomato_wgr614l.chk to it (like the readme in the zip instructs), but the router refuses to load the image (says "invalid filename was provided"). What am i doing wrong?

Thanks,

Brad

Is it possible with the WGR614L using any of the firmwares to implement a captive portal.

The idea is to intercept all traffic and redirect browser to a page on our company web server that has a disclaimer and company info. The user will then have to accept this disclaimer before we allow them to go externally.

Any suggestions on which of the firmwares are best for achieving this?

Many thanks 

I went to my local frys this morning to check out their weekly sale, and I noticed that they have the standard WGR614 back on regular price from $29.99 to $44.99.  Across the shelve they have the Opensource model, WGR614L priced at $69.99.  I checked both items and noticed that the standard packaging WGR614 and opensource model WGR614L have the same router version 8.

Are these the same routers???  Did netgear mess up in the packaging?
