Hi I'm looking for some help on how to get my factory file back on my router Netgear WNDR 3300, being i over looked one thing when i flash it the first time i used a .chk file and then updated because i thought i had to....to a .bin and now when i try to load the default .chk file it tells me that its the wrong file, but i know that's because i wasent supposed to load the .bin file because i read later that Netgear routers don't like .bin files just .chk files.
So now that I'm stuck here..i don't know what to do in terms of getting my router back to the factory setting..please explain how to.Also the reason that I'm trying to go back to my default settings is because when i set up my router it seemed to be working fine, and then all of a sudden on the wireless side it kept dropping all of my connected wireless devices and then reconnecting.


Also: I've contacted the ddwrt site for help and they tryed to help but when i tryed to flash the factory firmware back on the router...i get this "Invalid File" so they said to come over here to
the forums,because some people here know about this Netgear router.

EDIT: you can also just flash the attached revert bin from the dd-wrt gui. (Thanks Redhawk0)

Remember to select reset to factory defaults after the flash from the drop down on the upgrade page.
