In my dd-wrt experience you may need to use a serial connection to restore the Netgear firmware. This would require popping the router cover open.
Here is a writeup when using a MAC. Probably have two issues right off. Need of both a Ethernet dongle and a serial to USB cable.

Any suggestions to how to reinstall the netgear software? I´m using a mac-computer.
Talk to the people who create DD-WRT.
There aren't many people here who have deep knowledge of alternative firmware and Netgear certainly does not support it.
