Its SSID is SKY14741. I am trying to flash to "normal" Netgear f/w use on another ISP and have worked through this thread and everything else I can find on the web. I'm using Win XP. I have followed the excellent instructions above and applied the recovery utility to (try to) up-grade from Sky-specific firmware 2.02.44 to V4.01.40. All seems to go OK with the up-grade, right thorough to the end. However, when I go to 192.168.0.1, it will only accept Sky as a p/w and then shows the f/w as the original Sky V2.02.44. I cannot get to the Netgear setup. I have tried RmDrv before and after, and resetting, but it doesn't seem to want to change the f/w. Has anyone succeeded with this specific model, or have I got the only one that is permanently locked? If it has been done and I'm missing a trick somewhere, I'd welcome any advice.

The 2 items showing are ATHEROS AR9285 802.11 b/g/n Wi Fi Adapter or REALTEK P CLE GBE FAMILY CONTROLLER. I don't know which I should choose as both don't look like the right option to me. I get the same message after choosing either of them; COULD NOT GET SYSTEM INFORMATION CORRECTLY. PLEASE EXIT UPGRAGE UTILITY AND EXECUTE Rm.Drv.exe, WHICH LOCATED IN THE SAME DIRECTORY WITH UPGRADE UTILITY, THEN RUN UPGRAGE UTILITY AGAIN. I cannot get further than this point. Any suggestions on how to go further? Thanks very much. kind regards, Onnwah Dear JJ,

Can I just say I tried in vain three times and was going to give up (from O2 box to Sky Netgear-my ISP is O2) but on the third attempt it worked!! I've been wanting to flash the router all week but after reading the many warnings were very nervous and now feel a sense of achievement as it's something I've never attempted before :) Many thanks again James Many thanks James for all your valuable help on this.
