Hello guys
I would like to know if the NETGEAR WNDR4300 v2 supports the LEDE / OpenWrt firmware? It´s very similar to NETGEAR WNDR4500 v3.
Is anyone working on LEDE firmware for WNDR4300 v2?
hi,I'm looking it too
it's so sad
Some time ago somebody sent me a Netgear WNDR4300, for supporting the V2 version, however he commited a mistake and I received the V1 which was already supported.
He sent me again another unit from a remote seller. Again I received the V1.
So no luck with this device.
Old archived posts on the forum say the WNDR4300v2 is not supported for OpenWRT .. but I found this repo: https://github.com/coflery/WNDR4300v2 .... anyone tried ???

First boot with uart connected. It does not seem to respond when I hit a key to interrupt the boot. Should I connect the 3.3v pin? Right now I just have tx,rx and ground connected.
You mustn't ever connect the Vcc/ 3.3V pin, only rx/ tx and gnd. Connecting Vcc/ 3.3V would provide two power sources with different potentials to the same device, if you'd be extremely lucky, only the usb2serial adapter would go up in smoke, but the router is just as much at risk of permanent destruction.

IT said "Please press enter to activate this console." so I did ... again ... only this time it responded! Woohoo!"
This is not a telnet session!! This is a serial connection to the UART pins on the board.

I found this article on DD-WRT about initial steps toward documenting a router.

I am making some notes here and I will put it in a new wiki for the WNDR4300V2 with pics and everything else I can think of. I will ask for help when I get stuck but I have been around linux long enough to think I can maybe build the kamikaze firmware with a little help from you all. I will keep working toward a build of the latest firmware until I get stuck.
Step one: I am working on verifying that the system can be restored from a bricked state via tftp.
Here is a bootlog:
Down towards the bottom of the first part (right before.....) it says
" Client starts...[Listening] for ADVERTISE...checksum bad "
Is that the tftp client looking for server for debricking?
I am going to try uploading via tftp with the original firmware 1.0.0.28 and see what happens.

So we're at the point where CPU is booting and serial interface works, network interfaces can be enumerated, but iwconfig shows "no wireless extensions" instead of the status? Or am I just misinterpreting the log? What about LAN outputs?
Hi,
FYI, Netgear WNDR4300v2 support is coming to master :
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/openwrt/list/?series=150068
Patched OpenWrt master branch on this router is in pretty good shape now - stable, already running for days with no problems so far; all buttons, LEDs, USB, LAN, WAN and WiFis are working OK.
Regards
Michal

Then how can I download it at present?
1 Like
I too would like to download at present for this model!
For now the only way is to build an image for yourselves using git master source with above patches applied. Flashable image (if patches get accepted) will come with 20.xx release. AFAIK 19.07 will still be based on older architecture (ar71xx), so expect no support there.
Building is not a difficult task, especially if you have access to any recent Linux distro, even on a virtual machine (i.e. Ubuntu or CentOS).

Can anyone else build the patched firmware and share a clean install i dont care for the stock NG firmware and i more than likely wont go back to stock i just added external antennas and am in need of Openwrt i cant build at the moment my rigg is down for a few months i can also use it for testing for the developer if needed since its a unsupported and not so popular router with great specs if not i understand
Generally you should not trust binary images built outside of official OpenWrt site, and developers are not willing to support such builds either. If you have access to recent Linux distro, I can provide a short copy-and-paste solution so you can compile an image yourself from official OpenWrt code.

That would be very helpful ill see when i can barrow a laptop for this. I really appreciate any help that i can get. And ive been reading that alot lately about untrusted firmware.
Once you have a modern Linux installed and configured, please visit the page:
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/quickstart-build-images
and install developer packages listed there (they are not required for desktop system but are used when building programs). Then in command line shell (terminal) type following commands (without '$'):
$ git clone -b master https://git.openwrt.org/openwrt/openwrt.git
$ cd openwrt
$ wget -O - https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/series/150068/mbox/ | git am
$ ./scripts/feeds update -a && ./scripts/feeds install -a
$ cat << ZZZ > .config
CONFIG_TARGET_ath79=y
CONFIG_TARGET_ath79_nand=y
CONFIG_TARGET_ath79_nand_DEVICE_netgear_wndr4300-v2=y
CONFIG_ALL_KMODS=y
CONFIG_DEVEL=y
CONFIG_CCACHE=y
CONFIG_COLLECT_KERNEL_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_IMAGEOPT=y

$ make defconfig
$ make download
$ make -j 9
Output image ready for flashing is located there:

Good luck!

AFAIK ath79 builds are supported by v19.07 but it's unlikely that a new device will be supported after the initial release but I also could be very wrong about this. If your patches pass the usual testing they should be accepted after code being reviewed by someone. So it may take some time.
Thanks alot "realmicu" i actually built it over night flashed this morning it was working amazingly and crazy fast until i decided to change the static ip address then i got locked out tried to reset now only boot loop. Is there a recovery tftp method ive been trying all morning and afternoon with no luck i was just too excited and this is what happens when i rush? I'm ready to get this thing going again. Let me know i may have to order a uart cable. Thanks much everybody this was alot of fun im having a blast.
