When I try to use the web gui in dd-wrt to flash I get the error message, "Incorrect Image File." I'm currently stuck on the version of dd-wrt offered at myopenrouter.com. I am able to reset the router to it's defaults which I did just before attempting to flash it. Then I downloaded the build of dd-wrt that Nachi posted. After unzipping that file, I browse to the resulting file "ddwrt-wgr614v8.chk" and click the Upgrade button which then yields the message above.

OK, so is there a link to the generic bin file that incorporates Nachi's changes and works on this router? I believe a previous post indicated that applying the generic broadcom update bricked this router.
Ya I have ddwrt currently installed, but the older version. How would i go about updating to the newest version u just posted? i keep getting bad filename when trying to update through web interface.
can this be done by someone who knows what they are doing? lol im not the greatest w/ linux and programming, so if you wouldnt mind helping out. Thanks so much
OK - I have DD-WRT v24 on my WGR614Lv8 and want to upgrade to the v24sp1 version for my router. If I try to upgrade, the gui tells me that I have an incorrect file. I am using IE to do this upgrade. I notice that if I rename the .chk file to .bin, it tries to work, so I seem to be getting stuck by some script that is only checking for the extension type.

any help???
only upgrade with the standard .bin files from the dl area!!
I'm new here, so forgive my lack of understanding. The only firmware loads I've seen for this router are chk files (from myopenrouter.com). Even the factory firmware from Netgear is in a CHK file. Can I convert a bin to a chk??

Sash,
I really don't understand you now. I just visited your downloads section, and here's the upgrade that I need:
