Netgear WGT624

After a failed firmware upgrade, I am now left with a router which
won't boot! Does anyone know if there are places where I can get the
firware reflashed or is there any way I can recover this myself?

TIA


cheers,
Len

Tried this? http://kbserver.netgear.com/release_notes/d102417.asp
I know it's for the 834 but if your 624 is dead, probably not much to
lose trying. I'm not optimistic, though, because these things tend to
be chipset specific and I can't see something similar for the 624.

John,
Thanks, anything is worth a try! I can connect to the router
and I get a green light on port 1. PC says it's connected but still
nothing. I'll download that and see what happens? BTW when I
downloaded the latest firmware for this router it came down as a .chk
file not a .bin file is this right? Got it from the Netgear download
site!

cheers,
Len

Tried that but it's looking for a bin or img file so it's no go!
There must be something around for this router as it seems to be one
of the popular ones! Search of Netgear comes up with nowt and there
doesn't seem to be an easy way to mail them with a problem!

cheers,

A quick look round seems to indicate that a failed upgrade on the 624
usually means it's toast. There are some desperate measures (and sour
grapes) at http://hardware.mcse.ms/printthread.php?threadid=189083
