--> [[docs:guide-user:installation:generic.flashing|Install OpenWrt (generic explanation)]]+It has been reported that flashing factory image to WNDR4500v3 using Netgear UI causes router to be bricked when OpenWrt router is subsequently powered down. 
 + 
 +[[https://forum.openwrt.org/t/solved-netgear-wndr4500v3-brick-bootloop-after-first-reboot/111333|Unbrick & install instructions]] 
 + 
 +Summarised instructions to apply both the factory and sysupgrade images is as follows: 
 + 
 +  - Use the Netgear UI and flash the squashfs-**factory**.img to the router.  The router will automatically restart when the install is complete. 
 +  - Next, SSH into the router at 192.168.1.1 and execute the following commands to install the 21.02.1 squashfs-**sysupgrade** image release in this example: 
 +<code> 
 +          cd /tmp 
 +           
 +          wget https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/21.02.1/targets/ath79/nand/openwrt-21.02.1-ath79-nand-netgear_wndr4500-v3-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin 
 +           
 +          sysupgrade -v /tmp/openwrt-21.02.1-ath79-nand-netgear_wndr4500-v3-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin 
 +</code> 
 +  - You will be disconnected.  The router will eventually restart and OpenWrt is ready for use.  The router should no longer brick itself when powered off.
  
-FIXME Please add the installation procedure here.
