Hi all, I have a trusty old Netgear WGT634U which I dusted off recently. It has been running Backfire/10.03 happily for about 6 years (!).
I tried to upgrade it to 15.05. I grabbed the .TRX file from here (https://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05/brcm47xx/legacy/openwrt-15.05-brcm47xx-legacy-squashfs.trx) and copied it to the router, then used sysupgrade. Everything appeared to work fine, but after rebooting it is non-functional; only the "system" LED comes on. It does not respond to DHCP requests. I tried on both the first and the last ethernet ports, in case the WAN/LAN mapping got screwed up in the upgrade. (http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.embedded.openwrt.devel/40397) Has anyone else actually done this upgrade successfully? Are there any tricks to getting the WGT634U working with 15.05? I assume at this point that I'll have to dig up my serial console cable to have any hope of getting this thing working… :-) Thanks for any advice!
