I have a neglected WNDR3700v2 at home, still in the box, waiting to be 
flashed and tested with. Which firmware did you choose in the end?

or
http://huchra.bufferbloat.net/~cero1/rc7-smoketests/rc7-smoketest8/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-wndr3700v2-squashfs-factory.img

In what way did you deviate from the procedure at 
http://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/cerowrt/wiki/Cerowrt_flashing_instructions 
to get it working? Did you have to rename the file? Did you have to 
flash to OpenWRT first?
