I have a Netgear router. Netgear has end of life'd it and will not provide anymore firmware updates. It has security vulnerabilities. There is DD-WRT firmware available for it. However, Netgear has since modified their firmware to disallow installing DD-WRT.

When that happened to my WRT54GS, I managed to downgrade to an older Netgear firmware that did not do this check. Then, from the older firmware, I could flash DD-WRT, no problem. I now build routers / firewalls with a free OS to ensure I do not get burned again.
