Here 00112233445566 is the router MAC address that you noted down earlier, with any ‘:’ characters removed.

It will ask for a username and password, the default Virgin Media setup is usually virgin for the username and password for the password, it”s written on the label on the underside of the router so you can check for yourself if that doesn’t work. The usual way to do this is to open a web browser and go to (if that doesn't work, try substituting “” for “192.168.1.1” throughout these instructions). You can enable telnet on the router using a program called telnetEnable – see OpenWRT for information about it.
Once you've got it, it’s time to set the router to accept firmware for this board ID. You're looking for the board ID that the firmware is intended for, which is in the file near the top and should look something like U12H094T00_NETGEAR. In the hex editor, open up the firmware image. On Windows I have tried out Geoff Prewett’s He圎dit, which seems to do the job, and on Linux I recommend Pixel’s hexedit – despite the name, these are not the same program! Alternatively you can use the strings on UNIX-like systems (see the comments section at the bottom of this article).

Download the firmware from this page and open it up in a hex editor. My friend has the WGR614v9, for which the latest firmware (at time of writing) can be found at. Getting the latest firmwareįirst up, you need the latest firmware from Netgear. Doing this required a bit of digging around, so I thought I’d write a quick guide to sum up the information I found online. A friend was having some trouble with the Netgear wireless router he was given by Virgin Media, which I fixed by replacing the Virgin-supplied firmware with the latest Netgear firmware.
