please notice i REALLY dont understand why a "livebox-blue-5G" appears in that story 
https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commit;h=af667c73c5d34ca3817e
as a tried to compile a lot of time from openwrt 15th, 19th and 21th to get the specific openwrt-cvg834g-squashfs.bin file, as it NEVER appeared and always output a .manifest, even with large space disk available and lot of things removed from it
as it's well a netgear device.. awaiting openwrt's expert help to fix it
it's the first time i see a device with only 1 image available, in addition whom looks like do not fits with the device
