The recovery software as has been noted does not appear to work in a virtual machine, I could not get it to work in Windows 7 (x64) either (same issues with malformed interface) with or without compatibility mode. I formatted a laptop and put a clean copy of XP on with only the chipset, VGA and LAN drivers and after selecting my adapter the next page would not list it. This I assume was either down to having only one adapter installed/ not having the drivers for the wireless adapter installed, either way setting up the Microsoft loop back adapter fixed the issue. One other issue I have is after flashing the DG934 (using the rename trick) with V4 firmware it won't let me upgrade it through the web interface or flash the router again, was hoping to replace it with some DGTeam code. Many thanks for this, it has been a big help. @Gavin

You are genius and you have done a great job. Look at the number of people who have unlocked their routers. I also unlocked my netgear router in the first attempt by following your steps. Thanks once again. Does anyone know how to unlock Grandstream HT502 ATA adapter??? Thanks a lot James . You are genius and you have done a great job.

I have grabbed the 3 files as per the above instructions and when Click run on the RmDrv application it immediately gives me a dialogue box with the message program execute finish, press any key to exit and just below that message there's a flashing icon - so is this it still flashing or it has failed bcz when I press any key to exit and go onto the upgrade wizard it gives me the blue upgrade utility screen and after selecting the Ethernet controlled network adapter I get the message could not get system information correctly. Please exit Upgrade Utility and execute RmDrv.exe located in the same directory with Upgrade Utility then run the Upgrade Utility again. Help please!!:(( Hi people I've been trying to flash my netgear router without success.

The point of this post is to simply overwrite the Sky firmware (which will only allow the device to connect to Sky as an ISP) with the manufacturers (Netgear) version of the firmware which will allow you to use the modem/router with any ISP. The fact that the Netgear version of the firmware is of a lesser version doesn't matter because as you suggested the Netgear firmware can be upgraded (or downgraded I believe?) at any time to a different version through the web interface. So the bottom line is that you need to get a form of Netgear firmware on the device and then you can make changes as you wish.
