I am trying to upgrade the flash on my wr703n I am new to using hex tools and programmers is there a wr703 idiot's guide anywhere ?

Thanks Nikki

You have to extract the old flash contents.
Basically this is the old partition  table:
0x000000-0x020000 : "u-boot"
0x020000-0x3f0000 : "firmware"
0x3f0000-0x400000 : "art"

The new layout will be:
0x0000000-0x0020000 : "u-boot"
0x0020000-0x0ff00000 : "firmware"
0x0ff00000-0x1000000 : "art"

So, copy the old flash to the new flash, and then copy 0x03f0000-0x400000 to 0x0ff00000-0x1000000.
It should work at first boot
