Netgear made it alot easier to add N to this box now..

Get latest firmware from site, and flash it like normal.

N Speeds! Gotta love a router that was on sale at Wal-Mart for 34.97USD..And N to boot!



so now i just install.... the newest wgr614 firmware?



Yep the latest WGR614v10 firmware on netgear's site includes N speeds.

Quote form the WGR614v10 Firmware Version 1.0.2.26 site:

New Features:
...
5. Enable the 11n wireless modes: "up to 72 mbps" and "up to 150 mbps".


:D

It'll even upgrade itself!!


I can confirm the above holds true and the WGR614v10 with the latest firmware has an option for speeds up 150 mbps.

Someone seems to have Tomato running on this router now, minus LAN ports.

Maybe this can motivate someone. :P

I'm fairly certain I fried the JTAG port on my unit. It began spitting out garbage, then stopped responding entirely. Oops. Razz

...but until someone dumps the CFE...


I grabbed a cfe dump via TFTP/Serial before crossflashing - I wasn't about to test a crossflash without first having my full flash saved. Razz

It's posted in the CFE Collection project along with my board data: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=410267

I'm still waiting on JTAG support for the 5356, however.

I certainly wouldn't mind seeing DD-WRT for this router, even if only the wired LAN works for now - as that's all I'm using it for currently anyway.



Any progress on this? I'm the actual adult in a residence otherwise inhabited by college kids. One girl's laptop will only connect via ethernet and I picked up this router not knowing v10 is unsupported. Entirely my fault, but I didn't figure it out until I got a "firmware update failed" message when flashing. So that was not annoying at all.

Now i know this has been covered but im happy to say that cross flashing the wgr614v10 to a wnr1000v3 is actualy worth it since netgear has dropped support for the wgr614v10.
Everyone is right that both have identical hardware.
Seriously its like they took the same internal board, changed the the device ID, and slapped it into a different color shell.
So anyway the firmware updates listed on netgear.com are

WNR1000v3 Firmware Version 1.0.2.42 Published 01/04/2012
and
WGR614v10 Firmware Version 1.0.2.26 Published 09/15/2010

now thats a big difference in version number plus included in this new build
New Features:

1.Schedule-based Wi-Fi on/off.
2.Port forwarding mapping.
3.24-hour disc/conn.
4.L2TP.
5.IGMP proxying & multicast.
6.IPv6.
7.Desktop Genie support.
8.CD-less Wizard.
9.New GUI w/ Turkish language support.
10.Preset wifi security.

So i truly believe that a cross flash is worth it and my new wnr1000v3 *wink wink* is working flawlessly, plus since this router will probably never get dd-wrt, this is a great alternative and the new gui looks pretty.


all the info is in this thread

http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=65317&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

and my thanks to TimelesslyPrecise for this link to the files necessary to make this possible.

http://rapidshare.com/files/392011233/CrossFlash_Netgear_WGR614v10_to_WNR1000v3__Router.rar

The update file in that rar is out of date so everyone go to netgear and get the latest firmware update.

Here is a direct link to the firmware from netgear for the wnr1000v3

http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/WNR1000v3-V1.0.2.42_55.0.77.chk[/url]

Well i guess it would be easier for me just to post an updated form of this file and for a bit of advice since the instructions may be a bit confusing, just use this at the final step before you type reboot in the telnet window "burnboardid U12H139T00_NETGEAR" without quotes of course and yes that is the correct ID for the North American version and maybe it might work in the world wide version of the router BUT I DON'T SUGGEST RISKING IT unless of course you don't care if your router bricks.

i read an article about using another router, putting ddwrt on it and using it as a wireless repeater bridge to extend the range of your wireless network. id like to do this and bought a wgr614v10 (not knowing it wasnt supported) for very cheap. however, im not sure if flashing it to wnr will still allow this? can anyone answer that?

What is the function of converting to the WNR firm ware?

If I want to use WGR 614 act as a client and extend the range of my other wireless router, is it possible with WGR614v10 model?

I found this information on the net.... Does this mean DDWRT or OpenWRT or Tomato can be compiled for our router now???

using the hex editor i edited the burnboardid to match the wnrfirmware.chk file i downloaded. it worked like magic



Orbiting234 wrote:
No thanks for me eh? Sad Lol

Yeah, those are indeed the steps I took as you easily inferred from my posts earlier in this thread (enable telnet, change board id, flash). Glad my work noticing the same underlying hardware from the FCC ID and going through the hoops as well as that of others here was of help lol. Technically you don't have to do all that though. You can simply hex edit the WNR1000v3's firmware to the WGR614v10's board id and flash away without all the extra steps. For your average user that would probably be the way to go as it still nets the same end result (150mbps N!).

Mine has been happily chugging away as a WNR1000v3 for nearly four months now without a hitch. Would still love to get DD-WRT onto it but until someone dumps the CFE, and more importantly once DD-WRT is compatible with the wireless portion of the BCM5356, this will have to do.

As far as packaging goes it is way way way simpler to identify a WGR614v10's box as mentioned earlier:

The WGR614v1-v9 did not have the buttons on the side of them. So the presence of those automatically means it's a v10. No having to stare at batch numbers or serial numbers.

My bro-in-law gave me one of these; still had the original firmware. So I came across this thread (and a few others), and feel that my recent experience will help those in a similar situation.

This did not work for me; I tried several hex editors. Once I made the file name to 'WGR614v10*' it would appear to start the flash, but then fail. I also updated to the latest WGR f/w; no help. So I moved to the burnboardid method; I downloaded the telnet enable utility at openwrt (http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/netgear/telnet.console), followed the instructions, voila. The cross-flash then worked (after a reboot), using the original latest WNR1000v3 file, renamed 'WGR614v10*'. [Note: the asterisk is a wildcard for the rest of the original name, not a character in the file name...I know there will be those that are confused...]

Now i know this has been covered but im happy to say that cross flashing the wgr614v10 to a wnr1000v3 is actualy worth it since netgear has dropped support for the wgr614v10.

The previous post to this was from Aug 09, 2014 6:55; additional updates were released since then, and at one or more times, the firmware b/t the two were the same*, or nearly so. I just wanted to point out that as of now, the WNR1000v3 firmware, 1.0.2.68, -is- newer. In fact, its newer than the latest available OEM f/w for my former 'top of the line' WNDR4000 N750 router.

*So WGR614v10 1.0.2.58 actually synced up with WNR1000v3 1.0.2.62. However, the latest WGR .60 only added one (uPnP/NOTIFY fix) of the many updates in WNR .68. For all of them:
http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/25126

Anyway, for those wondering, it -is- definitely still worthwhile to cross-flash. The GUI seems to work better too; I was surprised how many features are available.

NOTE: another good reason to cross-flash is that the latest WNR .68 uses the newer telnet utility (also found at openwrt) that requires your Web GUI login/password and not a hard-coded backdoor login/password.

I just wanted to add my 2 cents.

I was having issues using the telnetenable method of updating the firmware on my WGR614v10 to the WNR1000v3 latest 68 build.

I was using one of the original WGR614v10 firmware. So the firmware would kick out as failed.

My success was updating the WGR614v10 to the last firmware from Netgear, then using the telnetenable/burnboardid to flash the WNR1000v3.

Hopefully this can help someone else.

Small addendum to this; I happened upon a WNR1000v3 at Goodwill for $2, so thought I'd try updating the firmware and overclocking it too. Unfortunately, I could not access the hidden telnet utility [...]
Edit: while updating the OpenWRT wiki, I thought I should try a hard reset first, and voila! UDP telnet enable utility works now; and I'm now overclocked from 333 to 400 MHz.
Edit2: Netgear released new 1.0.2.72 firmware for the WNR1000v3 in August 2017 and the WGR614v10 1.0.2.66...surprising. The release notes for both only say, "Bug Fixes: Fixed security issues."
Edit3 [necro update]: there was actually an update in July 2020 for this: 'Fixed security issues'
For eternity, no doubt. Cool Flashed to my boardid-modded WGR614v10 Smile
