NETGEAR router is not found or is not supported.
Hello guys, I'm having a hard time right now. I bought the NightHawk AC1900 R7000 to install a VPN on it. I installed the VPN showed in this video '' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVLQzsCxwgI '' an...
That 192.168.0.20 looks wrong.
There are often problems coming back from dd-wrt to stock firmware and it's often difficult to find what you need to do on the dd-wrt forums.
The problem might be dd-wrt leaving conflicting NVRAM settings, you should have set the router back to factory defaults in dd-wrt before loading the firmware.
Even so the NVRAM settings can still conflict requiring they be erased before things will work properly.
I don't know if the Netgear tftp firmware update procedure will also erase NVRAM when the firmware is uploaded, a Netgear person will need to answer that one.
But if it does that could be a way to resolve the problem too.
You could try making sure no other devices are using DHCP assigned addresses by, perhaps, turning them off (so that there won't be a possible duplicate address).
But then the router appears to have an incorrect DHCP address range set so this might not be a problem at all, better to be safe though.
Then set your computer's address manually to one that is in the range 192.168.1.2-254, probably over 200 is better in case there ends up being a duplicate address on the network, as the higher addresses are less likely to be assigned by the DHCP server in the router.
For the subnet mask use 255.255.255.0 , as usual, and the gateway 192.168.1.1, and DNS 192.168.1.1, as it is in the above post.
If the router has an address of 192.168.1.1 (and it appears it does from the above post) then your computer with address 192.168.0.(anything) will not be able to communicate with the router or anything else in the 192.168.1 network. That's the point of setting the address manually.
Then try to connect to 192.168.1.1 in a browser and see if it works.
Do the lights on the router look normal?
When you plug a computer into one of the router's LAN ports, does it get an IP address? Did you try connecting to the default gateway address?
Did you try performing a factory reset?
Lights look normal.
If I connect a cable to one of my port (1-4) there's a orange light that goes on.
If you mean connecting to the default gateway address by opening share center then double clicking on IPV4 and entering 192,168,0,0 I did try but nothing worked maybe I did it wrong.
I did look up for many ways to do a factory reset but I couldn't find one that worked with me. If you have one in mind I would definitly try it.

If the router is operating normally, then when you connect a computer to one of the LAN ports, the router will provide an IP address to the computer, provided that you have set up the computer get an IP address dynamically. I'm assuming that how your computer is set up. If it isn't, then you should change it.
In addition to receiving an address from the router, the computer will also make note of the router's address. This address is known as the default gateway.
Now the question. Do you see a default gateway address on your computer?
Yes, if I go on my Network Sharing center details, I can see my IPV4 Default Gateway Address wich is 192.168.1.1
But when I try to solve the problem with windows, it says that it is impossible to reach the DNS Server (192.168.1.1)
