]]>Netgear RT314 Gateway Router
Matt (Jennifer’s brother) had an extra Netgear RT 314 router that he was never going to use and he gave it to me for the time being. I needed some of the features of the router and was getting really tired of having my Windows XP box be the router. RT314 RouteMonsterI was looking for some additional features from my router and I stumbled upon NetGear.org. This site contains a lot of help files and such for the RT311 and RT314 routers. I managed to download the latest firmware from the Zyxel website and hack the hex code to make it work with my RT314. Zyxel makes all the routers for netgear. The new OS is extremely powerful and gives you lots of additional features which the Netgear Firmware lacks. I now have H323 configured to actually break down the packets on arrival and resend according to static routes setup. In other words, I can now initiate calls from inside the firewall to a remote user using netmeeting. Just a point of note: CODECS are a bitch to code and perfect!

Since netgear.org is gone, a) do you know where its content went and b) do you have copies of any of its content?

Well I had a copy of the firmware backed up on CD-ROM… so here it is:
http://users.adelphia.net/~micromause/NetgearUpdatedFirmware.rar
Contents of the rar has the:
Unpatched ZyXEL Firmware
ZyXEL Netgear Firmware Patcher
Netgear Factory Default Firmware
ZyXEL Ready2Go Patched Firmware
I hope someone will download it from my site and host it as well because I don’t know how long it will be up.

Hey, back again… I’m glad I could help you guys out! I just want everyone to know that the file is hosted on my old ISP’s free FTP space. I haven’t had the account in over two years and it still works! So, get it while you can and please host online for others. And post the URL here to keep the people updated… =)

click on Micromause’s link, I just downloaded hopefully the RT314 router is working and just didn’t have the DHCP set on it.
