t3l3m4k0,I inserted more parameters ..all board number 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and more mac numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,1,12 but the result is the same(see post http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=76955#p76955).Can you post me link where download a compatible CFE.bin for DG834GT ?ThanksMisteroX [Less]

doing. DSL modem as far as I know won't work, but WiFi, switch and USB should do fine.
Thanks sblanco. Is it possible to build an image for upgrading via the Web interface or TFTP? is only a matter of adding some binary info in the header of the firmware? can we do this with an hex editor?-- blue
The thing is nobody reported a way to flash the router with the binary file from the webinterface, every single flash was done by CFE as far as I know, using serial cable to access the console. And still after a good flashing, t3l3m4k0 posted a network setting that must be changed in order to get the switch working (I don't know if it was patched in the trunk for making it unnecessary).If you want to you can try without serial cable, but almost for sure you will need it later for unbricking. I "build" it up myself, bought a cheap DKU-5 cable for Nokia phones and checked where goes each cable and that's it. It is already a USB->Serial cable with level converter for connecting to serial consoles with 3,3 V TTL levels.Greetings [Less]

look at the OpenWrtDocs/Hardware/Netgear/DG834GT:
Code:Board IP address : 192.168.1.1:ffffff00
Host IP address : 192.168.1.100
Gateway IP address :
Run from flash/host (f/h) : f
Default host run file name : vmlinux
Default host flash file name : bcm963xx_fs_kernel
Boot delay (0-9 seconds) : 1
Board Id Name : 96348GW-10
Psi size in KB : 16
Number of MAC Addresses (1-32) : 2
Base MAC Address : 00:1b:2f:32:ab:31
Ethernet PHY Type : Internal
Memory size in MB : 16
The BCM6348 has two ethernet ports ... so I guess, you have to enter two for the number of macs.And normally the cfe supports http-firmware upgrade, if the addresses are set correct.So enter your settings, stop the auto run and try to upload the original netgear firmware.http://Hope that helps [Less]

my DG834Gv4 is only 64KBytes.Look at a hexdump of your CFE image. I think around offset 680 there should be some settings/board information like in my post above. Unfortunately changing these is not that simple since there's a checksum that has to be correct. [Less]
