Hello!
I've searched for OpenWRT support for the NETGEAR DG814PN device Rangemax with built in ADSL modem.
As I've seen on the Netgear Open Source site, there drivers for this router can be found . So I think, that this Router also uses Linux as firmware.
Has anyone of you tried to get OpenWRT running on this device?
kind regards
Josef
Hi, Josef.
Is it not DG814PN but DG834PN?

I got the tar ball and had a look.

We have a rocky road ahead?

Hallo yapoo you're right!
It is a DG834PN!
I haven't opened that device yet, because I don't have known, that a port for this device exists and opening the device will void warranty.
Can you clearify the "rocky road" a bit more? Do I have to install a serial port before starting to modify the router firmware and is a hardware description available?
kind regards
Josef
Hi, Josef.
the link page above
https://dev.openwrt.org/wiki/brcm63xx-2.6
Mr. florian wrote, 'Will not probably get much further unless an OSS initiatives liberates the drivers'.
So, it won't be predictable when openwrt works on the chip/board at full value.
If you've already opened it, I want to know inside. :-)
But if not yet, and if it's important for you not to void warranty, you might better not screw it down....
