Some helpful hints for putting firmware on the Netgear R7000
|
|
============================================================
|
|
|
|
* As of the writing of this, July 2020, the R7000's web interface does not let you downgrade its firmware, or run 3rd party firmware on it.
|
|
* Older versions of the R7000's firmware do allow you to flash 3rd party firmware.
|
|
* You can use nrmpflash to downgrade router's firmware, for example R7000-V1.0.3.56_1.1.25.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example set of steps
|
|
1. Plug in your router, go through the regular stock web interface setup. Note if the router's IP address is now 192.168.1.1 or 10.0.0.1
|
|
2. Connect computer your computer to LAN1 with an ethernet cable
|
|
3. At the command prompt on your computer, run:
|
|
`sudo nmrpflash -v -i YOUR_ADAPTER_NAME -f R7000-V1.0.3.56_1.1.25.chk -t 10000 -T 10000 -A 10.0.0.2 -a 10.0.0.1`
|
|
* Note 1: The instructions from README.md that tell you how to find YOUR_ADAPTER_NAME.
|
|
* Note 2: if your router's IP address was 192.168.1.1 then swap out 10.0.0.x with 192.168.1.x for the two IP addresses above
|
|
4. Right after running the command, power on your router. Your router checks for the nmrpflash server on boot. If all goes well you should see this:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo nmrpflash -v -i enp0s25 -f R7000-V1.0.3.56_1.1.25.chk -t 10000 -T 10000 -A 10.0.0.2 -a 10.0.0.1
|
|
Adding 10.0.0.2 to interface enp0s25.
|
|
