I am new here, so please do not beat me up too badly. I have a Netgear WNDR3700 left over from the beta test. I would love to play with the OpenWRT software but quite frankly I do need the router so I would prefer not to brick it. Should this work? If so which one - I think the ar71xx, but I want to at least start with the right build.
Thanks,
Warren
Hi,
Anyone more tried it? It seems to be a interesting wireless router!

A link with pictures on dd-wrt forum: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/download.p … a51eb52e2d
Don't really need the pictures since it is sitting in the rack in my basement, but I would still love to test dd-wrt with this router - I think it would be a real winner.

Since it's not Broadcom based, dd-wrt is not an alternative as I understand it.
wndr3700 seems to run a fork of Kamikaze 7.09 already. Check the bootlog! http://dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/download.php?id=11124
It's a bit more expensive than linksys 160nl, but has also better hardware, e.g. "Atheros-based dual-radio, dual-band 802.11n router with Gigabit ports" + 64MB RAM.

@wmeinick:
Could you try to investigate if it is possible to access the device with telnet or ssh?
[warren@alien ~]$ telnet 192.168.17.1
Trying 192.168.17.1...
Connected to 192.168.17.1 (192.168.17.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
[warren@alien ~]$ ssh 192.168.17.1
ssh: connect to host 192.168.17.1 port 22: Connection refusedLooks like telnet might somehow be possible. I am not home right now, but if I can gain access to a web browser from my office in the house then I will post more info. If not it will have to wait until tonight.
W
Did you get access with telnet?
I have not been able to. I will keep trying, but so far nothing 
W
In this thread (http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=58349) on the DD-WRT forum there is information about how to access the router through telnet.
There are also information about used file system (squashfs) and wireless driver (Atheros binary)
Expect it is Atheros reference design with few mods like WRT610N.
Connect serial console. Boot output and command shell will reveal a lot.
Compile Kamikaze trunk as a ramdisk image.
From console tftp boot the image, no bricking risk.
First step eh? See the WRT160NL exploration thread, page 2 and later.

I tried the telnet enabler. It did not work. I suppose I could hook up a serial console - never wired one into a router before and I'm told I solder like a 3yo 
Any idea what to look for? Will there be a header of some sort on the average motherboard or do I have to pull right off the pins of a chip?
Finally got it to work. I can tenet in. woohoo!
I suppose I could hook up a serial console - never wired one into a router before and I'm told I solder like a 3yo
Open it and post a pic. Ordinarily there is a 5-pin header for it somewhere and it's not difficult. Usually I use some clip-on test leads and you only need 3 wires connecting to a Nokia DKU-5 cable costs $5 on EBay. It's really trivial hack.
Bought the cable ($3.99 from a US seller). I'll put my other dd-wrt G router into place tonight to keep the rest of the family from killing me while I do this and take some pics of the inside. Does the cable do serial to USB or are we patching into a USB port?
(Last edited by wmelnick on 8 Oct 2009, 14:21)
Cable goes into USB port. I clip off the connector on the phone end and patch 3 exposed wires into the router and that's it. The driver for the DKU-5 is the PL2303 driver easy to find on internet. Baud 115,200 8-n-1 flow-control=none.
That is amazingly handy since the router sits 6 inches above my linux server. I can just plug it in and have it log to a file or access it in a bunch of different ways. Thanks - this is going to be fun!
Finally got it to work. I can tenet in. woohoo!
What did you modify to get telnet working?
@vmelnick:
I'm not sure why you were haveing problems enabling telnet, but I got it done with no problems at all. I just wanted to let you know befor you try to solder the serial cable to yours. I Got the following screen:
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

I definitely looks like it's running Kamikaze already, so hopefully it'll be easy to load the latest build into it. I've never used openwrt, though, so if anyone wants to walk me through doing it, I would appreciate it.
I did finally get the telnet to work. I ended up having to run the Windows version of telnet enable, then I was able to get the MacOS laptop to talk to the telnet port.
If that is all I need to load up a newer version of the software that gives me more control then that is fine - I'll happily play with it. I do have to admit that my ultimate goal is to get dd-wrt running on it, but loading up kamikaze or openwrt along the way would be fun too.

That looks pretty crazy . I understood the WNDR3700 has a USB port but it seems to be marketed as a storage port only. Pity it's Kamikaze 7.09 though - but it does open the possibility to install p910nd and get a printer running on that port :-).
As for walking you through, there is An introduction to Buildroot-NG. Buildroot-NG makes it pretty easy to build the stuff, but you'd need to know what patches Netgear applied. You can find the source code here. Best thing might be to diff this code against a regular 7.09 codebase and see where that gets you, but that's just an amateur guess. I've never ventured beyond the OpenWRT buildroot myself .
Oh - and be sure to get the bootloader too . It's offered separately so I suppose a stock OpenWRT image won't just boot, but you never know 
.
Edit: I unpacked the source tarball and it's definitely an OpenWRT one... Very interesting :-). Would be so cool if OpenWRT 8.09.1 supported this out of the box :^). I will diff this against an 8.09.1 tree when I get home, I'm curious.

Okay, I took a loock at the tarball - there's quite a lot of binary stuff in there, still:

BinaryAs you can see from the list the binaries there are no links on where to obtain them (if you'd want any updated versions). The kernel seems to be 2.6.15 and Netgear has added a custom target for their WNDR3700.

./dni-dmapool.git/dni-dmapool.koI tried to diff the WNDR3700 and Kamikaze 7.09 tree but it breaks on the binaries, I guess I'll have to find a way to work around that (diff sure has, I just never had to use it 
). Both trees look very different, though.

OK, but if we leave the existing Netgear modules alone, and keep it at v 7.09, shouldn't we be able to add our own modules and add a decent GUI, like X-WRT? I'm a complete noob when it comes to OpenWRT, and after checking out the docs, I'm pretty sure that I'm not gonna mess with the firmware by myself. And I'll prolly get flamed for this, but I can't leave the router without a user-friendly GUI. But if you guys would like my help testing anything, let me know -- I don't mind messing around with that as long as I can get the original Netgear firmware back in the end.
You probably can add it just on top yes, that shouldn't be a problem. As for other packages (I'm particularly interested in usb printer modules and a printer daemon package), you should find out what architecture is. BTW - I don't know if you ever tried 8.09, but it has an integrated GUI that pretty much blows your socks off .
