On Networks n300r ddwrt

Hi!  I'd like to flash an open source software on the On Networks N300R.  DDWRT works great on the N150, albeit an old version of DDWRT.

 

Can anyone tell me an open source firmware available for the N300R?  Or at least a Netgear hardware equivalent?

@ngmaa I apologize but the only information I can give is the product's manual and the unit has been EOL for a long time.

Now, regarding the equivalent product model of this On Networks, you may want to check WNR2000v5. Somehow, that's the closest model number that is similar to N300R. 

When it comes to using 3rd party, we do not support and recommend the use of 3rd party firmware because it will void the warranty.

I appreciate that Elaine.  However, the stock firmware is inadequate.  I'd like to make the router into a repeater, and monitor the bandwidth utilization.

 

Do you happen to know the Netgear equivalent model number that would be a compatible firmware?  If no, can you at least provide me with technical details on the unit, like RAM, ROM, CPU, and Chipset?  And anything else that you might think is important?

 

Thanks so much.
