Netgear DG834G v2

[mrtopps]

I'm not sure anyone has successfully installed RT firmware before on such a device. Need to check the flash format carefully - especially the config area - Netgear do not use the Ti config.bin I recall. Need also to check the switch and wireless hardware.

I've searched this thread and found no script. I have the same problem, the RUC hangs because the router requires no credentials and takes you straight to the prompt

Incidentially - the RUC program does not work on this becuase (I am guessing) the telnet access does not require login and the utility just simply hangs waiting for a response that isn't coming.. so i can't use that to check.

Can you try the Telnet script from viewtopic.php?t=1062 - you will need to modify it (remove the password/username) to correctly gain access Once you have the output, please PM the results (so that any sensitive info is not made public).

I can't find the script you mentioned in thread you suggested.

I have the same problem, the router does not require any credentials and takes you straight to the prompt, therefore the RUC returns the following:

00:00:000 Running script
00:00:002 Opening connection
00:20:977 Winsock Control Error - 10060 : Connection timed out.
04:39:670 Closed connection.
Aborted by user.

I can't find the script you mentioned in thread you suggested.

The links are there in the section that reads

It is better to follow the error reporting procedure as described in the ReadMe file (because this helps to increase the number of routers that are supported by the RUC), but as a last resort, you can also use THIS script along with the Telnet Scripter to create a report to post on the forum.

And I'm repeating it HERE

I have the same problem, the router does not require any credentials and takes you straight to the prompt...

So it doesn't require a password? That's not terribly good design from the firmware creators! Firmwares that don't require a username are already catered for with the "Skip username" tick box of the RUC, so I could add the option to skip the password as well. You should still be able to run the script if you remove the username and password section.

It is strange that the telnet server requires no credentials, but the service is not enabled by default and you have to switch the router to "debug" using loading a hidden page in the web server to enable it.

But a version of the RUC uses no credentials would be helpful

OK, try this version: Download RUC v1.3.2

[mrtopps]

I've tried the new RUC

I get the following:

00:00:000 Running script
00:00:002 Opening connection
00:21:032 Winsock Control Error - 10060 : Connection timed out.
01:08:371 Closed connection.
Aborted by user.

Its strange beacuse I can telnet in by hand.

I'm going to give the script a go.

[Neo]

OK. It's odd that it didn't work - just to confirm, you are ticking both 'Skip username' and 'Skip password'?

[mrtopps]

Thats right, I ticked both of them

Hi,
this is not RT-related, but I thought I could share my experience with a bugged DG632:
-firewall rules sometimes disappear
-DNS proxy fails with linux hosts
-can't configure fixed DNS servers for builtin DHCP server
-can't use as a modem with external router handing PPPOE login/password
Instead of tossing it, I enabled the DMZ and put a Cisco 806 at this address
with the following configuration (not needing ADSL2 speeds, a 10MB router is fine).
Just replace passwords, ip and mac addresses with yours.
