Hi!

Can I use your firmware on a Netgear M6?

Thanks

how can I read the Netgear M6 firmware and transfer it to some others like the 6450 to 6500?

Thanks

What makes you think it's doable ?

its the same hardware the 6450 is EUS and the 6500 is AT&T

and how exactly is that the answer to my question about openwrt ?

None of these models is currently supported by OpenWrt. Every device needs its own bespoke firmware -- there isn't "generic" firmware for these types of devices.

If you want to start the process of developing for those devices, follow this guide:
