Just installed Openwrt on NetgearV2, all through GUI even though wiki https://openwrt.org/toh/netgear/wndr4300_v2#installation mention ssh method. I went with the GUI method all the way.
- Installed latest squashfs-factory .img in netgear gui
- flashed latest squashfs-sysupgrade from openwrt GUI.
so far so good. Ignore the uptime, took screenshot after a manual restart to check.
