XR300 CFE BIN
i flashed new netgear firmware but it was the wrong file and has now rewritten my cfe, would someone please be able to send me their cfe file so i can fix my router please, i think this is the link fo...
Unfortunately due to the issues I've encountered with this router since purchasing it and having a replacement sent out I decided to roll back firmware when I had a power outage in my area.
This ended up bricking the unit due to my advanced technical knowledge I attempted to recover with a file that got flashed by accident off a site saying it was the unbrick file, I later discovered that this was some advanced tomato file which changed my board id and cfe my router now thinks its an R6400 V2.
I have telnetted the device and used tftp along with putty etc however have had no success if I was to have known that it was tomato I would have backed up my cfe beforehand, I need the cfe to allow all the correct offsets to be established as I cannot flash original NetGear due to after flashing i cannot access the router login as it is blocked.
If I can get the original cfe file then I should be able to recover back to the original xr300 firmware and get it operational again.

Good luck. Maybe you were being ironic, but it is hard to see how "advanced technical knowledge" and "later discovered that this was some advanced tomato file" go together.
There are ways to tell your hardware to think that it is something else – I did that when beta testing the first XR router – but this is not the place to go into that.
The DumaOS people are very good at responding . So you should talk to them. But even they may not work over the weekend.
