Flash instructions:
1. Use ethernet cable to connect router with PC/Laptop, any router
LAN port will work.
2. To flash openwrt we are using nmrpflash[1].
3. Flash commands:
First we need to identify the correct Ethernet id.
nmrpflash -L
nmrpflash -i net* -f openwrt-ramips-mt7620-netgear_jwnr2010-v5-squashfs-factory.img
This will show something like "Advertising NMRP server on net*..." (net*, *=1,2,3... etc.)
4. Now remove the power cable from router back side and immediately connect it again.
You will see flash notification in CMD window, once it says reboot the device just
plug off the router and plug in again.
Revert to stock:
1. Download the stock firmware from official netgear support[2].
2. Follow the same nmrpflash procedure like above, this time just use the stock firmware.
nmrpflash -i net* -f N300-V1.1.0.54_1.0.1.img
MAC addresses on stock firmware:
LAN = *:28 (label)
WAN = *:29
WLAN = *:28
On flash, the only valid MAC address is found in factory 0x4.
Special Note:
This openwrt firmware will also support other netgear N300 routers like below as they
share same stock firmware[3].
JNR1010v2 / WNR614 / WNR618 / JWNR2000v5 / WNR2020 / WNR1000v4 / WNR2020v2 / WNR2050
