I had exactly the same problem with my WNDR3800. Seems like = those flashing instructions are broken.

What I ended up doing is:1. did 30-30-30 reset (described, for instance, here: = http://www.myopenrouter.com/article/18623/How-to-Hard-Reset-Your-NETGEAR-WN= R3500L/)
2. flashed OpenWRT using netgear web gui (it shows a warning but allows to = continue)
3. another 30-30-30
4. flashed CeroWRT from OpenWRT gui
= 5. profit!


Thanks,
Max

another. =C2=A0If not, please direct me to the right place, thanks.

First off: I've been running dd-wrt on a WRT54G router for some time, but wanted to upgrade to something better. =C2=A0So I'm aware in genera= l of
how to flash routers, etc. =C2=A0I remember that dd-wrt was a two-step
process: step 1 to wipe out the old firmware and install a simple FTP
client (?), and step 2 to actually upload the code into the router.
Step 1 only needs to be done to wipe out the factory firmware.

My WNDR3700v2 is brand new, I've been using the factory firmware for a<= br> couple of days:

=C2=A0Hardware Version =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0WNDR3700v2
=C2=A0Firmware Version =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0V1.0.0.8
=C2=A0GUI Language Version =C2=A0 =C2=A0V1.0.0.67

I am running a Windows 7 system, and I'm using tftp (Cygwin) to try to<= br> push the CeroWRT code into the router. =C2=A0It's not working. =C2=A0I = refer to
items 6-8 from:

=C2=A0 =C2=A0http://www.bufferbloat.net/= projects/cerowrt/wiki/Cerowrt_flashing_instructions

6. =C2=A0Hold down the "factory reset" button on the bottom of th= e router.

7. =C2=A0Turn on the router. Light 1 will light up green; the connection light will light up yellow, flash yellow, turn green, then flash
green. This takes over a minute.

8. =C2=A0Release reset button

My router has a submerged "restore factory defaults" button on th= e
bottom, surrounded by some red/orange paint. =C2=A0This is the button I'= ;m
holding down to reset the router per the instructions above.
Regarding "the connection light will light up yellow...", on my router, it's the POWER light (the first one) that is going through
that sequence. =C2=A0The LED corresponding to my LAN connection remains
solid green. =C2=A0The sequence completes in about 45 seconds, thought I= 9;ve
tried up to 90 seconds. =C2=A0When done, the power light is flashing green,=
and the LAN connection is solid green.

I can ping the router at 192.168.1.1 from my PC. =C2=A0Using tftp, if I try=
to put the image, I get a timeout. =C2=A0I turned on "binary" and= "verbose"
and when I put the image, tftp says the image was transferred
successfully. =C2=A0Then I wait. =C2=A0And wait. =C2=A0I've tried this = a couple of
times, waiting up to 10 minutes each time. =C2=A0I never see the status
lights change per item #13 at the URL above:

13. =C2=A0A good indicator of completion is a steady green or yellow light<= br> for the port you cabled to, together with a steady green power light
and steady green or blue wireless lights.

When I gave up and powered off/on the router, I still got the Netgear
GUI, so the CeroWRT code isn't going in.

What am I doing wrong? =C2=A0I'm sure it's something simple.

Thanks - Jim

p.s. I note that the "CeroWrt 'Ocean City' INSTALLATION GUIDE&= quot; says:

"Please see the Cerowrt flashing instructions for how to install the current CeroWrt build on your Wndr3700v2 Router from your platform of
choice (windows, osx, linux)."

However, the flashing instructions are for Linux, Mac and "From the router" only. =C2=A0I tried to load the image through the Netgear GUI,= but
got a failure message, something along the lines of the image was NG.
I don't know of that's a supported kind of upload or not.
