Not sure if you still need help with this, but I'm putting this here for those of who actually perform searches.

The original image can be restored using the following procedure:

1.Get a copy of rb-mi424wr-RAM.img .
2.load -h <ipaddress> rb-mi424wr-RAM.img
3.go
4.Close telnet session and start another one; may require setting IP address on host. Verify that RAM version is running with version command.
5.load -h <ipaddress> -r -b %{FREEMEMLO} mi424wr-xxxxxxxxxx.bin
6.fis unlock RedBoot
7.fis write -b %{FREEMEMLO} -l 0x800000 -f 0x50000000
8.Close telnet session and power cycle.

I have an Actiontec M1424-WR Rev D. router handed down to me by a friend who has no use for it. I already have Verizon FIOS Internet (no TV or Phone) service and my router is connected to the ONT via ethernet. I plan to use my friend's router as a secondary router to setup a "MoCA bridge" to get ethernet in a room that has coax only with little/no possibility of wiring Cat5 cable. My plan is to attach this secondary Actiontec to the ONT via Coax and keep my current primary Actiontec as-is (no changes).

So my friend had installed DD-WRT on the Actiontec but I have no use for it since I want MoCA capabilities enabled. I got to the Redboot> prompt and was able to load the RAM img which I downloaded from wiki.openwrt.org site.

Question is - what is mi424wr-xxxxxxxxxx.bin image and where do I get it from? Verizon website gives an image for their OEM Action routers that is called roughly: 4.0.16.1.56.0.10.11.6-MI424WR.rmt. Is this the file or do I get the mi424wr-bin from somewhere else? I searched dd-wrt/openwrt wiki and Google'd as well but I guess the problem is that this is so basic that I am probably missing the whole point. Perhaps this is how all firmware versions are specified and I just need to search appropriately but I am unable to figure out.

Any other tips or pointers greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot,
Guraaf
