Hi All,

i flashed my wgt634u with openwgt but after that my router acts just like a modem. nothing works at all not even the wireless. so i build th serial console in order to flash to original image and i followed openwgt adn openwrt instructions but there is no restore.sh file and i can not even connect to tftp server that i set up to be able to flash it.it can not even see my machine. i know the router can be fixed but at this stage i dont know how to flash it back to original firmware. please help.

appreciate your help.

Why did you flash it with openwgt? It's outdated and no longer maintained. It's very bare bones, you have to configure vlans, routing, dhcp ... all by yourself.
Flashing the orginal netgear firmware is not any better, either.
I once had one wgt634u running openwgt, but I migrated it to openwrt a long time ago.
You can use the current kamikaze release, flash it from within CFE, see instructions at http://wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/Har … 88c3f71427

thanks for the reply. the only reason that i wanted to flash it to original is to put it in an stable status for not.
i was trying to flash it through CFE and i set up tftp on my machine but the problem is it can not see my machine which is running tftp so i can not get the file from it in order to flash it.
this command

CFE> flash -noheader 192.168.1.3:wgt634u/openwrt-wgt634u-2.6-squashfs.bin flash0.os

that is the problem. i go to the machine the ip address that has been assigned to the machine is not even the range of this ip address and when i use that ip address within CFE it can not even see it.
by the way i have a windows machine at this moment.

what should i do?

thanks

Hmmm, I never tried running an tftp server on windows ;-)
Which software do you use?
I use atftpd on my main wgt634u running openwrt to flash another wgt634u :-)

Does the wgt634u get an IP from your DHCP server with the "ifconfig eth0 -auto" command in CFE?
Is the IP correct?
If that doesn't work you can assign an IP manually via the command "ifconfig eth0 -addr=192.168.1.250 -mask=255.255.255.0"
I think the CFE has a ping command too, so you can test the connection to your tftp server.
The name "wgt634u/openwrt-wgt634u-2.6-squashfs.bin" is a relative path to your tftp root on your server, so the file "openwrt-wgt634u-2.6-squashfs.bin" resides in a directory named "wgt634u" in your code.
Are you sure, this is correct?

Here you can download a tftp-server. Easy to get working, no configuration needed. Only put firmware-file in C:\TFTP-Root.

thanks guys for the response.
i use winagents TFTP server and i installed magikDHCP server on windows and made it work connection between router and windows machine.
i made it to programm the router with image and it show that i finishes the image successfully but when i reboot the router it appears that the some of the modules are corrupted and it does not work properly. i splited the image file using GSpliter for windows so i dont know if the splited files have some problem or something else.

thanks
