from the NA firmware you had.
Do you still want to continue?
Current Version V1.0.XX_1.0.XXNA

Where XX is a version number (typically 29 for refurbs, 45 for fresh retail models)

Upgrading with DD-WRT
After researching build threads, use a good k2.4 (/broadcom folder) build under ~3648 KB1.
See Firmware FAQ. Do not use files from broadcom_K26 nor broadcom_3X!
Upgrade from the DD-WRT GUI Administration->Firmware Upgrade1.
Perform the update and allow sufficient time to complete
Although the router has 4MB flash, the Netgear partitioning and CFE limits the available
partition size to 3735552 bytes (3648 KB) for linux and rootfs combined. See the Peacock
Announcement for details.
Loading a larger *.bin will fail leaving the router in TFTP recovery mode, to then load a
smaller file.

Troubleshooting
If bricked (green power light keeps blinking), just use tftp to upload .chk or factory firmware.
