Installation

NMRPflash Method

Download nmrpflash
Put the OpenWRT factory image file in the same folder of the nmrpflash executable
Connect your PC to the router using the port near the power button
Start nmrpflash. Replace XXX with your network interface (can be identified by running nmrpflash -L) and FILE with the file you downloaded

$ nmrpflash -i XXX -f FILE

Power on the router and wait for the flash to complete

After about a minute the router should boot directly to OpenWRT. If nothing happens try to reboot the router. If you have problems flashing try to set “10.164.183.253” as your computer IP address.

Vendor-UI Method

The Vendor web interface will always flash on the partition currently not booted, so to flash OpenWRT for the first time you have to switch to boot partition 2 and then flash the factory image directly from the Vendor web interface. To switch on partition 2 you have to enable telnet first.

Go to http://192.168.1.250/debug.htm and check “Enable Telnet”.
Connect through telnet and login using admin/password.

$ telnet 192.168.1.250

Read the current boot partition

$ artmtd -r boot_part

Write the new boot_part

$ artmtd -w boot_part 02

Reboot and re-check that the currently booted partition is partition 2
Flash the OpenWRT image trough the Vendor-UI

Revert to stock firmware

Download the stock firmware from official NETGEAR support
Follow the nmrpflash procedure like above, using the official Netgear firmware (for example SRS60-V2.2.1.210.img)

$ nmrpflash -i XXX -f FILE

Specific Configuration

Please fill in real values for this device, then remove the EXAMPLEs

Network interfaces

The default network configuration is:

Interface Name	Description	Default configuration
br-lan	EXAMPLE LAN & WiFi	EXAMPLE 192.168.1.1/24
vlan0 (eth0.0)	EXAMPLE LAN ports (1 to 4)	EXAMPLE None
vlan1 (eth0.1)	EXAMPLE WAN port	EXAMPLE DHCP
wl0	EXAMPLE WiFi	EXAMPLE Disabled

Switch Ports (for VLANs)

Please fill in real values for this device, then remove the EXAMPLEs

Numbers 0-3 are Ports 1-4 as labeled on the unit, number 4 is the Internet (WAN) on the unit, 5 is the internal connection to the router itself. Don't be fooled: Port 1 on the unit is number 3 when configuring VLANs. vlan0 = eth0.0, vlan1 = eth0.1 and so on.

Port	Switch port
Internet (WAN)	EXAMPLE 4
LAN 1	EXAMPLE 3
LAN 2	EXAMPLE 2
LAN 3	EXAMPLE 1
LAN 4	EXAMPLE 0
