Netgear Wn3000rp Firmware Update

[Nella Mcnairy]

Anyonehere knows how to put this device in failsafe mode?

It has 3 buttons (on/off - wps - factory reset), I tried pressing wps multiple times during boot but to no avail, the same happened with reset.

Also, I invite the discussion if it wouldn't be better to default configure devices that only have one ethernet interface as a LAN port, or to start those devices with a working access point by default.

Still not sure what the problem is, but it appears upgrade was not successfull as the result is to be able to ping ethernet port on 192.168.1.1 but nmap shows all ports filtered, also green led slowly blinking, giving signs of a failed boot.

Hi there,

I didn't record the exact steps at the time, but I was able to revert using a Linux workstation with nmrpflash configured with an IP on the subnet 192.168.1.0/24 and it was not terribly difficult.

Your error message implies that your computer is unable to upload via TFTP. I would check ping connectivity to the router first and then disable the computer firewall temporarily, I can't remember now but you also have to set a directory with Netgear original firmware for nmpflash to upload to the device. Good luck!

Hi folks,

I have same device and issue with LEDE firmware: after flashing within LEDE 17 or LEDE 18 and rebooting, it slowly flashes with green light and nothing more.

Than I start discover what's wrong since start:

Maybe others would like to test b43 without luci in OpenWrt 19.07.x and or the brcm f/s mac drivers. Remember that for current OpenWrt you have to drop luci webinterface and maybe more packages before you may get an image smaller than 3735552 bytes.

Thanks for OFFTOPIC answer, however the current correct wiki template is incorrect and dangerous for the wn3000rp it must be Unsupported! OpenWrt will lead to brick in current state with current wiki! I cannot correct so much incorrect dynamic/linked/table generated info myself.

Is it better to fill in a git Pull request to make "wn3000rp v1" and "wnr3500 v2" default image creation disabled for 19.07.x 18.06.x and 17.01.x versions? Both models suffer the same image size problem.
