This is interesting:

=C2=A0 =C2=A0http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/netgear/wndr3700

"OEM installation using the TFTP method

"However, note that the router will not accept the firmware when the filename is too long! Using firmware.img as filename should work."

I wonder if this is the problem. =C2=A0I'll try this first, then try th= e
OpenWRT-as-intermediate-step method if this doesn't work.
