as you can see  00:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF everywhere

could you help me, how can I replace  00:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF  to something from bottom cover of router?

you can set a temporary MAC

you can set a temporary MAC in CFE like

CFE> ifconfig eth0 -hwaddr=00:01:02:03:05:05 -addr=192.168.1.1

then download the netgear default firmware to execute the burnethermac command like

burnethermac 001122334455
burnboardid U12H072T00_NETGEAR 

I think this will solve your problem.

I think this will solve your problem. 

so I have to understand my OpenWRT firmware with netgear default firmware, next reboot router..

Do I have to let it boot, or stop it with Ctrl+C in CFE>? I think CFE doesn't have commands like "burnetherac" or "burnboardid"

 

thanks

First go to the CFE prompt

First go to the CFE prompt using Ctrl+C. Then give the command
CFE> ifconfig eth0 -hwaddr=00:01:02:03:05:05 -addr=192.168.1.1

Now you are able to run tftpd. So you can upload new image. Please upload Netgear's default firmware. It has burnethermac command. So give those two commands. Then reboot it again. It will get proper hw address. Now you can upload any firmware.
