Well, anyway I bought a refurbished WNDR3800 from amazon $40.00 to run cerowrt. I was hoping to get a compatible model but it turns out I got a version with model change to WNDR3800-1CHNAS which cause the firmware upload to fail gracefully. I found out about this at openwrt.org, see https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=49390 The above referenced thread refers to an openwrt developer (zloop) who says he built a version with a different model string WNDR3800CH. See https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=51025 "according to GPL fw sources the router is called "WNDR3800CH" (MODEL_NAME) so adding a line Makefile:$(eval $(call SingleProfile,Netgear,64kraw,WNDR3800CH,wndr3800ch,WNDR3700,ttyS0,115200,$$(wndr3700v2_mtdlayout),0x33373031,WNDR3800CH,"",-H 29763654+16+128)) and modify the WNDR3800CH model to the Multiprofile line $(eval $(call MultiProfile,WNDR3700,WNDR3700V1 WNDR3700V2 WNDR3800 WNDR3800CH WNDRMAC WNDRMACV2)) should create an image that can be flashed from factory firmware PS: it's all untested - no guarantee it will work feel free to test and send to the mailing list " I'm going to try patching the image header to have the model name "WNDR3800CH" and see if it will load. It would be a good idea for the developers who understand the above to add this model to the makefiles so it also gets built. I bet a lot of WNDR3800-1CHNAS series routers are out in the wild and if someone picks one up to run wrt or cerowrt they will be stymied.
