Research model and build threads before blindly flashing any dd-wrt build Read "the Peacock Announcement" For first time installs over the Netgear firmware, a "trailed" *.chk file (with the router name) is required. Initial flashing: use this trailed build from here. Note that eko builds are gone.
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.
Ping 192.168.1.1: a TTL=100 indicates TFTP recovery mode TFTP an appropriate .chk file to the router ♦ Upload either an original Netgear firmware OR a known working DD-WRT .chk file for this router Netgear Firmware Recovery Utility If flashing the router with tftp is unsuccessful, and you have a flashing power light with a ping response of TTL=100, the unit may still be recoverable using the Netgear Firmware Recovery Utility.

There have been no known reports regarding the router itself suffering from bad capacitors. Internal antennas Netgear advertised 8 antennas, but while 8 are etched on the PCB, even the official FCC info lists 5 active. Three of the five active antennas are for the wl0 radio, supporting 2.4GHz or 5GHz bands.
