I've been trying to find out how to restore the openwrt image back to original Netgear image but can't seem to find any instructions.

Would appreciate some help.

You can do this via TFTP.


Power on the router, and when the switch LEDs light up for the first time, hold down the reset button. Hold this button down until the power LED starts blinking green (it will start blinking orange first - keep holding)

Then, tftp the image over

tftp -m octet 192.168.1.1 -c put firmware.img

or whatever TFTP client you have.
