The goal of this blog is to help me with the documentation of progress on my quest to install an alternate firmware on the now discontinued Netgear WGR826V.

Console up and running

I was able to build the console cable and boot in to the device. I found a few interesting things . It uses RedBoot version 1.92p1 and It boots to Linux. It apparently has a very crippled BusyBox shell.


The output of "fis list" is as follow:
