- Known issues : openVPN , default has --pushroute instead of --push route, need to manually alter nvram variable openvpn_value
Changelog 2015-02-08
Additions:
- iperf3 added (for devs, requested by Pietro)
- LiME loadable kernel module, whole memory dumping (for devs)
- (front) physical WPS Button Override, to run any arbitrary command, such as poweroff.
- 'Network settings' > DNSMasq 'additional configuration' (Netflix w/ Hulu bypassing etc.)
Fixes:
- IPoEoA connections with VLAN tagging now work; e.g. Sky Fibre (UK), TalkTalk fibre (UK)
- nfs now starts correctly on USB hotplug, fixing: "daemon.err mountd[1854]: unable to register (mountd, 1, udp)" - Created retry patch
- Various minor updates/improvements/fixes.
Updates:
- nfs-utils 1.3.0 > 1.3.2
- busybox 1.22.1 > 1.23
- dropbear 2014.65 > 2014.66
- sqlite 3080301 > 3080704
Changes:
- 'xDSL Advanced', more DSL stats views available , refreshable. (requested bulldog147)
- 'Lan Setup', warning on about disabling DHCP disabling DNS.
Changelog 2014-10-26
Additions:
- Network Traffic menu entry that displays all interface traffic directly from kernel.
- Added two extra Filter entries to Automatic (if you are already using it you will need to manually delete automatic.data and let it regenerate to make use of them)
- openSSL binary added to firmware image for TLS key gen for openVPN
- 'Network Settings', new options; openVPN port change and SSH(Dropbear/SFTP) WAN port change. [LAN still on 22]
Fixes:
- Patched bug(SSH2_MSG_UNIMPLEMENTED) in Dropbear 2014.65 , also now supports ECDSA keys.
- Fixed issues where 'state' wasn't showing correctly in 'Network Services' with inadyn-mt
- VLAN tagging can now tag WAN port as well as xDSL port, to support FTTH (fiber-to-the-home)
Updates:
- Added more info to 'Attached Devices' such as arp cache/scan, dnsmasq leases and MAC <> OUI (vendor/manufacturer) lookup. Thanks to Netgear forum members for suggestions!
Changes:
- openVPN now uses TLS keys by default, these are generated the first time it starts and stored in nvram (available as files in /tmp/CA). If you were previously using it with static key, you need to delete the 'openvpn_value' nvram variable to let it regenerate.
- Have redone most of the log outputs using JS/AJAX and display them in reverse order so newest entries are at the top. Should also help browser compatibility.
- Samba logs into main system log
- Updated bits of 'Network services' page and backend script to reduce delays.
Changelog 2014-09-29
This replaced 2014-09-28 which had a problem with samba
Additions:
- openVPN 2.3.4 (not affected by ShellShock, no auth-user-pass-verify in default config [and no bash shell anyway])
Fixes:
- Using WAN port as 5th Ethernet port (actually port 0) now works fully without isolation.
(thanks to help from 'erm67' in decyphering /proc/switch!) - Fixed occasional race condition with dnsmasq restarting before ports were freed.
(don't understand how it happens but adding a retry loop in the source fixed it.
The version change also fixes another possible race condition problem)
Updates:
- miniDLNA/Readyshare 1.1.3 ? > 1.1.4 (fixes for some Philips TVs, added Magic Containers)

- inadyn-mt 02.24.38 > 02.24.43 (fixes, extra dynmaic dns servers supported)
- Dropbear(SSH) 2013.56 > 2014.65 (compiled with reduced unauth limits to help against brute force attacks)
- Samaba 3.2.22 > 3.2.24 (final Samba 3 release)
- DNSMasq 2.71 > 2.72
Changes:
- Unnecessary 'dsldiag' removed from acos_init startup to save some CPU cycles.

Changelog 2014-03-15
Additions:
- e2fsprogs 1.42.9 - cant format/check ext2/3/4 file system directly on DGND3700 (mke2fs/e2fsck/badblocks etc. Usage example under 'transmission' here
Fixes:
- SMB2 (Samba V2) support now working. (Oddity of obsolete 'security = share' disabling SMB2 support.)
(Note gvfs-mount as used in Nautilus etc. only supports SMB1).
- umount now works again (bug introduced in Busybox 1.22.0 - I found/fixed).
Updates:
- cURL 7.33.0 > 7.35.0
- miniDLNA/Readyshare > todays current git (development seems to have restarted)
- sqlite3 > 3080301
- NTFS-3g > 2014.2.15
Changes:

- Removed some unnecessary build options in ffmpeg to reduce library sizes (used by miniDLNA/Readyshare)
- Retracted using ionice for TBT and DLNA
Changelog 2014-02-14
Additions:
- Ad blocking via DNS (dnsmasq) - [default using http://pgl.yoyo.org which isn't too large and yet still blocks 99%, can be changed via nvram parameter 'adblock_blocklist', if dnsmasq formatted]
- Additional DNS server can be added in addition to DHCP aquired ones by adding it's IP with nvram paramter 'wan_dns_extra'
Additions - Testing: [feedback please as untested]
- VLAN tag (WAN VLAN ID) on atm0 interface (for VDSL [e.g. BT Infinity, ID 101, remember transfer mode needs to be also PTM])
- IGMP Proxy (IPTV)
Fixes:
- Removed the possibility of race condition in acos_service when wan is going down and up where it may be reading/writing/moving/deleting resolv.auto file at the same time.
- Few minor GUI tweaks
Changes:
- Dnsmasq now doesn't poll for resolve.auto, relies on wan up/down, (will save a few CPU cycles)
- Time/date set via busybox's ntpd on wan up (time.nist.giv & time.pool.org). No longer running timesync with Netgear's servers, (will save a few CPU cycles)
Changelog 2014-01-20
Additions:
- SNMP Monitor (Web GUI)
- Wake-On-Lan (Web GUI)
- Cron Scheduler (Web GUI)

- bbe (binary block editor), wol (cli)
Updates:
- Busybox > 1.22.1
- Samba > 3.6.22
Fixes:
- Patched pre-existing bug in lld2d (link layer topology discovery daemon) so when it randomly renames the LAN Setup > Device Name it goes to a default DGND3700 and not "802.11 Broadcom Reference", which breaks things (such as Windows 7 'network map')
- Transmission startup script will no longer cause a 0 byte config file if the drives full.
- A few other minor fixes.
Changes:
- Enabled MaxMTU setting to 1492 on PPPoA
- LAN Setup > 'Device Name' now forced to only allow alphanumeric and hyphens as being used as hostname and as part of the service names
- Web GUI updated with new 'network services' and text tweaking for clarity
- Most programs/services now separately enabled/disabled via the 'network services'.
- miniDLNA now referred to with its new name 'ReadyMedia'
- more filtering of webui input to block anyone entering invalid characters that may break parsing
Changelog 2013-12-20
Additions:
- p910nd non-caching print server daemon added, autostarts on USB printer hotplug. (Appsocket/HP JetDirect , port 9100)
Changes:
- Altered ADSL 'Target SNR Margin' adjustments on web gui to have finer grained control (10% increments)
Changelog 2013-11-27
Additions:
- telnet client as requested
- crontab/crond as requested (and cURL executable). Setting nvram option cron_value with a normal crontab entry will make crond start using that value.
Updated:
- rebuilt MIPS build toolchain with all available patches (fixing daemonize bug)
- minidlna to 1.1.1, now running properly daemonized. (Netgear worked around this by leaving it running in debug mode!) It should take up less resources now doing a scan too & work with more tv's etc.
- openssl 1.0.2
- all the (A/V) libs that minidlna uses. (ffmpeg 2.0.2 ,libogg 1.3.1, flac 1.3.0 & zlib 1.2.8)
Fixes:
- dnsmasq now back to low CPU usage & not crapping out (setting --query-port=0), thanks to a tool called dnsblast that let me get to the bottom of it after weeks of fiddling and trying to find a reliable test.
- unplugging a usb device should stop services and cleanup everything properly.
- other minor things I can't remember now as it has been so long since last release.
Changes:
- ionice reducing I/O priority of transmission and minidlna to get low dibs order on the usb drive and not hog it.
- multitude of kernel patches from Olegs Wl-500g firmware
- Using ISO-8601 for firmware numbering. (FYI Netgears choice '10201736' is month:10 day:20 hour:17 minute:36, no year)
Changelog 10201736
Additions/Improvements:
- udhcpd nuked, DNSMasq now doing DNS and DHCP, featuring;
- resolvable LAN hostnames including the router
- DNS query caching (including local caching for TBT trackers etc.)
- simultaneous query of DNS servers, using fastest.
- some protections against attacks involving DNS
- PXE boot enabled, with two flavours of Memtest86 currently bootable, via TFTP > HTTP (iPXE > PXELINUX), F12 on most systems at boot. [expansion in mind, pull larger stuff from the USB drive]
- Can add LAN/Ethernet port to the bridge (to act as 5th LAN port)
- Renice original default programs to low priority on startup
Fixes:
- Dropbear SSH Firewall enabled didn't stick after power cycle (moved on menu, now called 'dropbearfw')
- Static leases work correctly.
