Hello,
I'm quite new to this modding scene so I want to make sure I don't goof anything up.
I read several articles:
http://www.myopenrouter.com/article/10339/DD-WRT-for-NETGEAR-WGR614L-Ins...
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/WGR614_v8
http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/others/eko/V24_TNG/svn12250/Net...
And as I understand it I should be able to use the first tutorial as follows...
For first flash (running original Netgear's firmware) or for tftp
please use dd-wrt.v24-12250_NEWD_mini_wgr614v8-L.chk file.
Compatible builds for Netgear routers:
dd-wrt.v24-12250_NEWD_mini.bin
dd-wrt.v24-12250_NEWD_mini_hotspot.bin
dd-wrt.v24-12250_NEWD_std.bin
dd-wrt.v24-12250_NEWD_std-nokaid.bin
dd-wrt.v24-12250_NEWD_std-nokaid_nohotspot_nostor.bin
dd-wrt.v24-12250_NEWD_voip.bin
dd-wrt.v24-12250_NEWD_openvpn_jffs_small.bin
dd-wrt.v24-12250_NEWD_openvpn.bin
The problem is 12250 seems quite dated. So I'm hoping I can get up to snow. Is it ok to... *HARD RESET* followed by...

As I understand it this would get me Snow onto my old legacy router. Am I right? If not I certainly don't want to risk bricking the thing, so let me know the safest method to get the latest Standard version of DD-WRT.
Afraid I ran into a bit of trouble. When I attempt to flash "any" .CHK file it simply states...
Firmware upgrade failed. Please check your file.
Specs:
I tested the initial one you gave (DD-WRT), Tomato 1.25, and an OpenWRT. None work. What now? :(
You have a V9, not a V8. The v9 is not flashable. See the DD-WRT database here.

Ouch. I was under the impression this router was OpenSource...
So does any custom firmware work on this thing? :/
Not that I am aware of .:(
