DGN3500 brick after 22.03 update

Hello!

Here's the steps, it took me a while to figre it out

  1. Start the router with the reset button pressed, until it flashes green-red
  2. Install Virtualbox, restart your pc to install bridge adapter, and then install a copy of Windows XP 32 Bit
  3. Into windows XP install "Microsoft Loopback Device", that's because DG384 tool it's bugged and will not allow you to select the correct adapter until it senses another another LAN adapter
  4. Connect the router directly to your PC using port 1
  5. Select the correct adapter this time, the one which is connected to your router
  6. Check that into the Netgear DG384 folder there is the OEM firmware you want to upload, it must be in the same directory of the executable
  7. The software should allow you to select your router device and start the firmware upload, it will take about 15 minutes
  8. It will start a check, and will fail at 95%, don't worry, poweroff the router and power it on again, now you have the OEM firmware again and you can flash the old 21.02.03 that will work
